When to Use the Update with Labels/Update without Labels
Options
There are two custom configuration optionsUpdate
with Labels and Update without Labels. These options perform the identical
configuration, except Update without Labels does not pass label (directory)
information from the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System to the MERLIN Messaging
System.
You should use either the Update with Labels or Update
without Labels options to change the MERLIN Messaging System programming when:
- The MERLIN MAGIX system dial plan has been modified,
or
- Coverage Group 30 has been modified (this assumes
that Coverage Group 30 is covered by the MERLIN Messaging System).
Programming Assignments that Occur with Update with Labels/Update
without Labels Options
When you activate either of these two custom configuration
options, the following programming assignments automatically occur on the
MERLIN MAGIX system:
- All programming to Calling Group 32 is removed.
- All licensed MERLIN Messaging System ports are assigned
to Calling Group 32.
- All 12 ports on the MERLIN Messaging System are set
as rotary enabled.
|

NOTE:
|
In contrast to the default configuration
option, some programming assignments are not performed automatically
with the custom configuration options. Therefore, prior to using the
Update with Labels/Update without Labels option, you must do the following:
- Confirm that Coverage Group 30 contains
all required extensions.
- Set Hunt Type for Calling Group 32 to
linear.
- Set Group Type for Calling Group 32 to
Integrated VMI.
- Set Calling Group 32 as the receiver
for Coverage Group 30.
|
The following programming assignments occur on
the MERLIN Messaging System when you activate either of the two custom configuration
options:
- Mailboxes are assigned to each extension in
Coverage Group 30 that do not already have an Automated Attendant, Fax,
or Mailbox extension assignment in the MERLIN Messaging System. The new
mailbox extensions have default parameters
set.

NOTE: |
Extensions that already have mailboxes assigned
keep all their parameter settings, except for the Directory Listing
which is updated when the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System sends labels
(Update with Labels option only).
|
- A Transfer-Only extension is assigned to each
extension in the MERLIN MAGIX system dial plan that is not in Coverage
Group 30 and does not already have an Automated Attendant, Fax, or Guest
Mailbox extension (that is, a mailbox with a phone status of
no ) assigned in the MERLIN Messaging System. The only exceptions are the second logical extensions on MLX and TDL station ports. These extensions are not assigned as Transfer-Only extensions.The Transfer-Only extensions
have default parameters set.
- Maximum Extension Length specifying the maximum
number of digits in an extension or Calling Group is set to equal the
length of the longest station extension in the MERLIN MAGIX system.
