System Renumbering. AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 3.1, MERLIN LEGEND Release 4.0

System Renumbering

System Renumbering

The procedures in this section are used to reassign extension numbers for either the 2-digit, 3-digit, and Set Up Space numbering plans.

NOTE:

System Renumbering is called Flexible Numbering in the MERLIN

â

II

Communications System. This is not the same as Board Renumbering, an option used when modules in the control unit are changed.

This section contains the following programming procedures:

■ Single Renumbering

■ Block Renumbering

To reassign the system numbering plan or DSS Page

buttons see Chapter 4,

“Programming Procedures.”

Use the single renumbering procedure any time the extension numbers you are changing from or to are not sequential.

Block renumbering is quicker, but you can use block renumbering only when the extension numbers you are changing from and to are sequential.

When trunk or extension modules are removed from the control unit, the remaining modules must be rearranged so that no empty slots remain. The system does not acknowledge any modules installed after an empty slot; therefore, if the system is renumbered, extensions are not assigned to extension jacks after the empty slots.

NOTE:

Figures 3–1, 3–2, and 3–3 show the default settings in the gray spaces.

Extensions can be renumbered to any number shown in the white spaces.
