Avaya Merlin 012 12 Basic Telephone Sets Module with Ring Generator
The Avaya Merlin 012 is a circuit card module for AT&T / Lucent / Avaya Merlin PBX systems that provides connections for up to 12 basic analog telephone sets. The 012 designation indicates it supports standard single-line analog (2500-type) telephones, and this variant includes an integrated ring generator, enabling the PBX to ring connected phones without requiring an external ring source. The module installs into the Merlin system cabinet via a proprietary card-edge backplane connector.

Applications
The Merlin PBX platform was introduced by AT&T in the early 1980s and continued through successive generations under Lucent Technologies and then Avaya into the 2000s. It was widely adopted by small and mid-size businesses as a full-featured on-premise phone system. The 012 module is the standard basic-telephone interface card for these systems, allowing ordinary single-line analog phones — rather than proprietary Merlin digital sets — to be connected to the PBX. This is useful for fax machines, modems, standard desk phones, and courtesy phones that do not require the feature-rich digital handsets. Many Merlin Legend and Merlin Plus systems remain in service at small businesses and in legacy installations, and replacement or spare 012 cards with ring generators are a steady maintenance need for anyone supporting this platform.
This Avaya Merlin 012 Basic Telephone Sets Module with Ring Generator has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. It was pulled from a working PBX environment where it was previously in service. The card body and port connectors show normal handling wear consistent with prior installation; no cracks, breaks, or damaged ports are visible. The card-edge connector contacts appear intact and clean. Please review all photos and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
