Lucent Technologies merlin messaging system Network Router User Manual


 
Introduction
The MERLIN Messaging System provides terminal-based reporting, maintenance and reset
capabilities to help System Managers and service technicians to:
Assess the health of the system.
Identify voice messaging system problems.
Initiate the appropriate corrective action, when needed.
Report and maintenance/administration requests are entered via a terminal interface on either a
local or remote basis. Local access is through connection to the RS-232 serial port on the
MERLIN Messaging System module. Remote access is via public switched telephone network
(PSTN) dial-up to the communications system switch and communications system connection
to the modem port on the messaging module. System access is login and password
protected.
User access to the MERLIN Messaging System is supported via an ASCII terminal interface
available through the serial and Remote Maintenance Device (RMD) ports. PCs connected
through the terminal interface and running terminal emulation software can capture report
information and retain it locally in the form of ASCII data files for subsequent review,
manipulation or management.
