Release 2.0 Enhancements (October 1992) 

Refer to 

Release 2.0 Notes for detailed descriptions of Release 2.0 

enhancements. Release 2.0 includes all Release 1.1 functionality 
plus the enhancements listed below.

■

Programming enhancements include the following:

—

Extension Copy is a feature that reduces programming time 
by allowing the use of any extension as a template for 
programming another extension or block of extensions 
through centralized telephone programming.

—

Integrated Administration provides a single interface through 
Integrated Solution III (IS III) for programming entries 
common to the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System 
and AUDIX™ Voice Power.

—

Any SPM Version 2.xx (where xx is replaced by numbers) 
provides a Convert function for use in upgrading the system 
from Release 1.0 or 1.1. This function converts a backup file 
from a Release 1.0 or 1.1 system to Release 2.0 and later 
format, allowing reuse of existing system programming on 
the upgraded system.

—

Forced idle reductions keep system interruptions at a 
minimum. In general, the smallest necessary component is 
forced idle during programming activities. For example, 
renumbering a single extension idles only one extension. 
Only a few systemwide programming activities, such as 
setting the system mode and system renumbering, idle the 
entire system.

System operational enhancements include the following:

—

Coverage VMS Off is a feature that prevents incoming 
outside calls from going to voice mail. (All other coverage 
remains active as programmed.) The feature is programmed 
extension by extension, either through extension 
programming or through centralized telephone programming.

—

A Night Service group can be programmed to include either 
extensions or a calling group as members. You should not 
program both individual extensions and a calling group into 
the Night Service group, however, because individuals will 
not have a chance to answer before calling group members 
do. 

—

When AUDIX Voice Power sends a Leave Message 
notification to an extension, the system identifies the voice 
mail system as the sender of the message. When the voice 
mail subscriber uses the Return Call feature, the call goes to 
any available voice mail port, not just to the specific port that 
generated the message. This reduces the chance of getting 
a busy port.

—

Coverage receivers can call coverage senders and have the 
call receive coverage treatment. If a receiver calls a sender 
for whom he or she is covering, and the sender is busy or 
unavailable, the call proceeds to other points of coverage. It 
does not come back to the receiver who originated the call.
