Creating a Temporary Avaya Intuity Calling Group

Create a temporary Avaya Intuity system calling group. This allows you or the customer to:

• Readminister and test automated attendants on the Avaya Intuity system prior to completing the migration.
• Use this calling group (and its ports) for the MERLIN LEGEND AUDIX Voice Power (IS II or IS III) system for a short period after the migration. During this period subscribers can access their old messages.

This temporary calling group should use two voice ports that are removed from the calling group on the MERLIN LEGEND AUDIX Voice Power (IS II or IS III).

See Intuity Messaging Solutions Integration with MERLIN LEGEND Communications System for more information.

Creating an Avaya Intuity Test Coverage Group

Decide with the customer whether the customer wants to test any automated attendants that are readministered on the Avaya Intuity system. If so, create a test coverage group with two stations.

See Intuity Messaging Solutions Integration with MERLIN LEGEND Communications System for more information.

Assigning the Temporary Calling Group to the Test Coverage Group

Assign the temporary Avaya Intuity system calling group to the test coverage group so that calls move to the Avaya Intuity system.

See Intuity Messaging Solutions Integration with MERLIN LEGEND Communications System for more information.

Reference

Disconnect the two voice port cables on the MERLIN LEGEND AUDIX Voice Power (IS II or IS III) machine and connect them to the Avaya Intuity machine. This allows you to test the Avaya Intuity automated attendants using the voice ports from the MERLIN LEGEND AUDIX Voice Power (IS II or IS III). Note: The cables that you disconnect should be attached to the ports on the switch that you moved to the Avaya Intuity system calling group.
