Lucent Technologies merlin messaging system User Manual

You must assign a specific extension type to each extension in the MERLIN Messaging System
to assure the enforcement of transfer restrictions and to designate transfer destinations (that is, to
a mailbox, Automated Attendant, fax or system extension).

There are four possible extension types:

phone status for an extension affects the way that a call is routed within the MERLIN Messaging
System when the caller requests to be transfered to that extension, as illustrated below:

Incoming calls are transferred by the
MERLIN Messaging System to the
applicable extension

Calls are transferred to the extension

Incoming calls transferred by the
MERLIN Messaging System stay in
the MERLIN Messaging System

Calls are routed directly to Call Answer
Service or Automated Attendant Service
for the extension

Transfer-Only and Fax extensions always have a telephone associated with the extension.

Refer to MERLIN Messaging System Planning Form 2 – Extension Administration for
information that applies to your system.
