The MERLIN Messaging System is factory set to restart itself each day at 3:00 am. This Scheduled System Restart is designed to allow the MERLIN Messaging System to perform system and diagnostic checks to ensure system and data integrity. The Scheduled System Restart eliminates the need for you to manually perform several diagnostic audits and ensures that MERLIN Messaging System diagnostics are performed on a regular basis.
The MERLIN Messaging System keeps a time record of the last Scheduled or Manual System Restart. If the last system restart occurred within the last 23 hours, the MERLIN Messaging System cancels Scheduled System Restart.
A Scheduled System Restart is initiated only if the MERLIN Messaging System is idle, i.e., all of the voice messaging ports are "on hook." If any voice messaging ports are busy, the system cancels the Scheduled System Restart then checks for an idle status every 5 minutes for a one hour period. If the MERLIN Messaging System is not idle during this one hour period, the Scheduled System Restart is cancelled until the next day at the scheduled time.
While a System Restart is in progress, all voice messaging ports are busied out and all event data is written to the Event Log before the MERLIN Messaging System shuts down. When the System Restart is complete, the MERLIN Messaging System refreshes the Message-Waiting Lights and logs the voice messaging ports into the MERLIN Messaging System Calling Group so that the MERLIN Messaging System can respond to calls.
