AT&T Merlin Legend 10BS User manual

The BRI (Basic Rate Interface) Access button is a button programmed on any of the first ten
buttons on your telephone. Using this button, you can use BRI features available through your
local telephone company, known as the central office or CO.
Similar to the MERLIN LEGEND Trunk-to-Trunk Transfer feature, the Central Office (CO) Transfer
feature allows you to connect the caller to a branch office in a distant office or redirect a local or
long-distance misdialed number to the correct number. By using the BRI Access button to dial the
destination station of your call, the BRI lines to the MERLIN LEGEND system are available for
additional in-coming calls and call hand
ling. In addition to the CO Transfer feature, the BRI Access
button also identifies the last line used for a call for use with the Local Area Signaling Services
(LASS) features. The LASS features provide you with call management capabilities:
● Automatic Callback
● Automatic RecalI
Note: Depending on your CO, the names of these features and their feature codes, and the
voice prompts you hear may vary.
Each of these features can be activated on any multi-line telephone with a Personal Line button
for the BRI line on which the call was placed or received. However, use of the LASS features is
not recommended in a pool environment.
Note: There can be only one BRI Access button on a telephone.
Check with your system administrator that your telephone has been programmed to use the
BRI Access button features. Procedures for using each of these features follow.
