From Telegraph to Telephone The invention

 You may find this hard to believe but when Alexander Graham Bell Set out he was not trying to discover the business telephone.  Given how dependant people had become on the telegraph to send text messages there was a need to figure out how to put more than one message on the same set of wires to speed up the process.   


Bell stumbled upon the phone and its ability to do voice transmission during his discovery and over the years you can see how it evolves and why.   The first phone was more or less a candlestick and required humans to make every call connection.   As advancements occurred you see how Bell Labs later Lucent Telephone later create a switch to do this with humans.  

                                                                      Telephones

Over the years Lucent Telephone ( AT&T) and Later Avaya invent many amazing phone systems.  The telegraph was great for Governments, Businesses, and the average person.  Today more than ever businesses rely on their phone system. 

  • Spirit 308 / 616 224 / 2448 We actually have one of these! We got it from a client when we upgraded them to a Partner ACS.
  • Partner / Partner II /Partner Plus / Partner ACS / Partner SOE
  • Merlin 206, 410, 830, 1030 & 3070, supports by model number, from 2 lines, 06 extensions to 30 lines and 70 extensions. 1985 --The systems had basic functions [built-in] but enhanced features were available thru plug in modules [feature sets].
  • Merlin II 1988
  • Merlin Plus Which developed as the predecessor to the Legend system. Had capabilities for up to 56 lines and 72 stations.
  • Merlin Legend 1.0 - 7.1 First release in 1991 could not install a PRI card until release 3.0 - Recently,we had to upgrade a site from a Release 1.1 to a release 7 (they had about 75 BIS phones ) in order for them to use a T1 card for connecting to Comcast. It took 3 hours to get the old config over to the R7 (didn't help that the 1200 baud connection to the old system kept crashing. Finally, when everything was up, we could install the 100D card but, Comcast couldn't figure out that they had to change the PRI "protocol" on their end to a 5E.
  • Merlin Magix 1.0 - 4.0 Introduced in October 1999. The redesign was regarded to be a Legend release 8, however with the metal chassis and sleek card design, it became marketed as the new "Magix" system.
  • IP Office 403, 406v1, 406v2, 412, 500v1 Earlier models of the now current system IP500v2
