MERLIN Mail: How to program the date and time

• The Merlin Mail runs on a separate clock from the Legend, Magix or Merlin II switch. The Mail's clock determines what time and date are recorded on voice messages left in mailboxes. The system stamps each message with the date and time. The subscriber can obtain that information by listening to the message header
• The clock also determines what times the day and/or night message will play on the Auto Attendant (AA) if the mail system controls the opening/closing schedule for the business phone system. If the time is several minutes off, or the system loses power, the date and time will need to be reset

This article explains how to program the date and time for Merlin Mail.
