I aquired a Merlin Legend R3.0 from an old employeer and installed it in a Volunteer Fire Company i belong to. We are in desperate need of a voicemail system as our phone provider only allows us one mailbox. Is there a decent computer software out there that can tie into the system or do they make a voicemail module for the merlin legend. We would need approx. 10 mailboxes and preferably a few different menu options. Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advanced everyone!

Need Voicemail for Merlin Legend R3.0 1

An 007MLM (merlin Legend Mail) will integrate with an R3- I believe you need an A3 power supply or newer to support it. Otherwise, the stand alone Merlin Legend Mail will also work via analog connections to the Merlin Legend (an 016 tr module). Neither can be found new these days, but I'm sure someone is selling them out there.

Well i'm fairly new to all of this. What would be the benefit of upgrading to an R7 as opposed to buying a 007MLM? Just to clarify, i would assume i am looking for an auto attendant. Not sure though. I want to have a menu with choices that will lead to another menu with the mailboxes. I would assume that would be the auto attendant.
If you upgrade to R7 you can then use the Merlin Messaging. You could pick up a R1 fairly cheap.

In addition....the R7 processor will give you the maximum number of features offered by the Legend....and....allow for the programming to be saved to a PCMCIA card which will allow you to transfer the programming to a replacement processor should the existing one fail. ![[smile]](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif "[smile] [smile]")

Okay like i said im fairly new. Am i understanding that if i upgrade to an r7, all i would need would be an r1 and it would do everything i need? How many mail boxes and menus would i have? I found this processor on ebay. Is it any good?
I'd question it because the seller does not know what it is. That is a Magix processor in a Legend clam shell. You can also upgrade to a Magix since it was the next generation Legend. You have to be careful because not all Legend modules worked with a Magix CPU.

How do i find out which modules are compatible? Seems like i have way too many options now and not sure which way to go. Is it worth upgrading to magix? We are a volunteer company so money is usually tight, but we are willing to spend the money for voicemail. Whats the benefit of magix?
It could very well be a Legend R7. I have the exact same processor in my test system that has been flashed to a Legend R7 so I can use the older 408 Merlin modules. The CKE5 can be upgraded to a Magix R4.

Check out the following topic I started last year:
In the opening topic, I posted a link to a document created by a former contributer to Tek-Tips (John L. Shelton). The document was completed in 2003, so it does not cover the final 2 releases of the Merlin Magix.
The document dicusses the Merlin platform in a fairly easy to understand way. There are a couple of mistakes, but nothing of major concern.

Thanks Dexman for recommending that link. I have already started reading it. However, my system includes the R3.0 Processor, 2-408 GS/LS MLX, 2-008 MLX, and 1 012 with Ring Gen. I have purchased an 408 GS/LS-ID MLX as i understand it is needed for caller id. Eventually, i would like the option of a paging system and possibly a door phone. I have a pagepal that was included with the rest of the stuff but havent really looked at it yet.
The 408 GS/LS-ID/MLX module requires a R7 processor.

Lol crap...well it looks like ill be purchasinan R7 as long as the majority of the modules are compatable. I found only 2 R7 processors on ebay. Would someone be willing to help me find the right R7 processor? I posted one of them that was on ebay earlier but someone said they werent too sure it was right. this is the only other one i found. My concern was it only has one port on the front and looks different from the rest.

Agree. They may be selling a R7 processor, but the picture is of a DS1 module.
