Setting the Outcalling Lines to No Ring

This procedure is required only when the communication system is in the Key mode and is not needed in the Hybrid/PBX mode. To ensure proper operation, the outside line assigned to the MERLIN Messaging System voice port(s) that are used for Outcalling must be set to No Ring. This procedure is not necessary if the communications system is operating in the Hybrid/PBX mode.

For MERLIN Messaging System Release 2 or later, the voice port(s) used for Outcalling are Port 2 on a 2-port system, Port 4 on a 4-port system, Ports 5 and 6 on a 6-Port system, Ports 7 and 8 on a 8-port system, Ports 9 and 10 on a 10-port system, or Ports 11 and 12 on a 12-port system. For Release 1 or 1.1, the voice port used for Outcalling is Port 2 on a 2-port system, Port 4 on a 4-port system, or Port 6 on a 6-port system.
