Trunk Group Access Codes?

[galley]

Hi All!

Can someone please tell me how I can access the trunks on a Merlin Legend via Trunk Access Codes. I was told that I need to dial #9 and then 816 (816=trunk), when I do this a get a regular busy signal. Where am I going wrong?

Thank You!!!

#9816 will get you a call holding on trunk 16.

If trunk 16 is loudspeaker paging, programming it as a paging trunk will let you use #9816 for paging.

If trunk 816 is in a pool, you can assign pool dial out code access to the extension, and you would dial 70, or 890, or whatever pool 816 is in.

Maybe we need to know why you need to grab just 816?

816 is the Paging, in programming it shows 816 as paging, but I can't access it dialing #9816. As a matter of fact, I tried dialing #9801 just to see if I could get access to that line (for trunk verification), and I get the same busy signal???

Is it only one phone that can't access loudspeaker paging via #9816 or all phones?

BTW, #9 + an idle trunk number will not give you dial tone for testing purposes. You can only use the "pickup trunk" feature to pickup a call holding on the specific trunk.

Has trunk 816 been renumbered?

Usually, we renumber the PAGING PORT to a single digit in order to allow something like #95.

or try #96 ,as the 6 was a carry over number from the early merlin paging
