    Is anyone else having this issue? Since the upgrade I've been getting tons of Tek-Tips emails of forum messages for cryptocurrencies, unlocking a ransom encrypted hard drive, and as of yesterday, escort services. Here are 2 examples from my inbox: The email's sent from address matches...

    I recently installed a Viking ACA-1

    I recently installed a Viking ACA-1A Auto-Attendant on my home Legend (rel 7). The Viking works up to the point where it transfers the call; it doesn't, and returns the caller to the main menu to select a prompt. I stepped this through with Viking Tech Support, and they recognized the problem...

    WE Line Status Indicator

    I'm in the process of connecting a WE 24A16 LSI to my home system. When I connect a T&R from the LSI to a T&R extension from my Merlin Legend system, it works as normal (LED lights when off hook, LED flutters on ringing). When I connect my Landline to the LSI, it doesn't respond. The BSP's...

    False Ring on Legend and 1A2 System from Fixed Wireless Unit.

    I'm running a Legend Rel 7 in my home. One of the CO ports is connected to a Fixed Wireless unit which provides a T&R pair for your landline phones (complete with a fake dial tone). AT&T's name for this device is "Wireless Home Phone". It works as expected, incoming/outgoing calls are no...

    Merlin Legend Internal Line Disconnect Time

    I'm running Rel 7 in my home system, with several T&R only phones from the 016 Ring Gen card. What I notice is there is a delay to get a dial tone after a user disconnects from an internal call, even using the timed 'recall' button on some phones doesn't make a difference. What happens is a...

    Legend - 2 Questions

    Question 1 I’m running a Legend Rel 7 in key mode. I’m using the supported DSS console from the Merlin II system (not the DSS adjunct that would be connected to the system console.) - The console is programmed as one of the two Operator positions. - My numbering plan is 0 thru 25 (MLX &...

    Legend - How to Show CO Line in Use

    Hello, I’m running a Merlin Legend (Rel 7) in my home (keyset mode). I have several T&R sets (Trimline and Design Line) that are connected to the incoming landline directly. In my home office, garage, and a few other rooms, I have the Legend MLX sets. Is there a way to show the CO line in...

    Replaced ETR Board - Internal Loopback Test

    Hello again, I received the replacement ETR board today (Magic ETR board placed in the Legend clam shell). Did a board renumber and tested a few ETR ports and T&R ports, all worked fine. Then I ran the Maintenance Demand Test on the board after busying it out. The Board Controller test...

    Legend Processor Upgrade to CK5

    I’m running a Merlin Legend Rel 7 in my home, rel 7. I want to get a spare processor card and have seen several low cost Merlin Magic CK5 processors on eBay. From what I read on this forum, I can mount the Magix processor in a Legend clam shell, then do a Restore to the CK5 processor with the...

    Legend ETR Board Replacement

    The only ETR board in my Legend system just died, and this was the only board I didn't have spares on. On eBay I found a Merlin Magix 016 ETR board. Can this be installed in the Legend as is, or can it be converted using an empty Legend 'clam shell'? Any memories on the ETR board's...

    Surge Protection for Legend

    Since Florida is the lightning capital, I've added multiple surge protectors in my home to cover Internet and power lines. For my Legend system, I'm currently using the Lucent Sneak Current Protection unit (507B sneak protector) for analog lines (up to 25 lines). I've noticed some systems use...

    Merlin Legend - Blocking Area Codes

    Hello, I have a Merlin Legend (7.0 rel) in my home, key system mode, and I would like to block calls to selected area codes on a system-wide basis for every station and every line (3 co lines). I've been reading the manuals and haven't found an explanation on how to do this that works. I tried...

    Merlin 34 Button Membrane with true 2-way Speakerphone Builtin?

    Hello, I'm familiar with the 34 button Merlin membrane set, it has a button for a monitor speaker only, with an extra port to add a separate speakerphone adjunct. I just saw this ad for the 34 button membrane set that had a true 2-way speakerphone (not to be confused for the raised button BIS...

    Merlin Legend Call ID

    I’m running a Merlin Legend Rel 7 in my home. My question is Caller ID only displays on the Primary line. If the primary line is idle, and the secondary line rings, there is no caller id. I’m using MX display phones, the Display Caller ID feature is programmed as a button on every display...

    Merlin Legend Extension Bridging

    I'm running a Merlin Legend Rel 7 in my home, using a combination of MLX sets and T&R only extensions. The T&R are setup to access the CO line directly when going off hook (no dial 9 or intcm). What I notice is when the CO line is being used (use originated) on the MLX set, the T&R set goes...

    Merlin Legend 7.0 Coverage Groups and Calling Group

    My understanding from reading all the sections in the Merlin Legend manuals is that multiple Coverage Groups can be assigned to one Calling Group. I have 9 Coverage Groups working perfectly. I want to assign them all to a single Calling Group (ext 770 which is not used anywhere) and then...

    I'm running a Legend 7.0 with two operator consoles, one has the DSS adjunct connected to the MLX20D (ext 10, logical 0). DSS Pages 1, 2, and 3 all function perfectly, programmed to start with ext 500 on page 1, Ext 550 on page 2 and 600 on page 3. Now when I connect the Merlin Legend II...

    Is it possible to assign a single line phone to receive and make calls on a specific trunk without the user having to dial an access code? The application is using a Legend in a residence, and there are a few single line phones that we would like to have dedicated to a single trunk line for...
