Installing the Control Unit Installation procedures are basically the same for both Model 206 and Model 410.

PREPARE THE NETWORK INTERFACE Your local telephone company should have installed a network interface with 1-line jacks (RJ11-type) or 2-line jacks (RJ14-type) for connecting your MERLIN system to your outside telephone lines. The drawing, right, shows the two types of network interface and the 2-line adapter (267C) for the 2-line network inter- fac[...]

TEST THE OUTSIDE LINES This step is optional, but if you have a basic Touch-Tone or rotary telephone with a modular plug, you should test your outside line connections now. It can save time and frustration later. NOTE: A MERLIN system voice terminal will not work for this test. 1 2 2 Network interface 1 Take a basic Touch-Tone or rotary telephone w[...]

CONNECT THE CONTROL UNIT TO THE NETWORK INTERFACE When you are assigning outside lines to the outside line jacks on the control unit, keep in mind that the MERLIN system automatically selects lines in alphabetical order for your outgoing calls unless you have a Feature Package and have programmed a different line-selection sequence. Let’s say, fo[...]

Accessories such as Extra Alert horns, Loudspeaker Paging, and Power Failure Transfer telephones require additional cartridges. General Purpose Adapters for your voice terminals allow you to connect modems, autodialers, cordless phones, and other extension phones. You can [...]

System Tests Now that your system equipment is in place, you need to test it to make sure it’s operating properly.

You can increase the system?[...]

UPGRADING FROM MODEL 206 TO MODEL 410 If your needs expand beyond the capacity of your Model 206 system, you can easily install a Model 410 system in its place.
