OVERVIEW AND DETAILS

The Merlin Magix Integrated System can support up to 200 user stations and 80 lines (trunks), and is based on the Merlin Legend R7 software platform. The system comes with all-new cabinets, port modules and phones, but an installed Merlin Legend can accept the new Magix’s modules and thus be upgraded in the field. Both the old and new Legend work off the same control processor board and the new Magix also supports existing Merlin MLX phones.

Product Details

The Magix comes with a built-in router and offers T1 trunk interfaces. It also has integrated voice-mail messaging that supports up to six ports, 100 hours, and 200 mailboxes.  Up to nine Magix systems can be configured with a uniform dialing plan and centralized messaging support.

As noted, the Magix supports existing Legend phones, but it also supports six new digital telephone instruments—two single-line sets, a basic multi-line display and three advanced multi-line display phones.

Lucent also offers an option for the Magix called the Integrated Network Access Applications Module, which has a built-in DS1 interface, CSU/DSU and firewall-equipped router. The module interfaces to the PSTN via a T1, which can run up to 24 TDM/PCM circuit-switched channels or the full 1.5 Mbps can be made available for IP traffic. The module also comes with a 10-Mbps Ethernet interface.
