Applications
The Merlin key system was AT&T's widely deployed small-business phone platform, introduced in the early 1980s and continued through the Lucent and Avaya eras into the 1990s and early 2000s. The 016 module is an analog station card — it expands the KSU to serve standard (non-proprietary) analog telephone sets, making it useful for installations where basic handsets or fax machines need to share the Merlin system alongside proprietary Merlin feature phones. The built-in ring generator allows these analog sets to ring normally without requiring an external ring source. The module plugs directly into a slot in the Merlin KSU cabinet, making it a straightforward plug-in expansion for businesses growing their Merlin installations or replacing a failed card. These modules remain in demand for organizations still running legacy Merlin II or Merlin Legend systems.
This Avaya Lucent Merlin 016 Basic Telephone Sets Module with Ring Generator was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. It has been visually inspected and photographed. The housing is in good overall condition with light surface wear typical of a removed PBX expansion card. The card-edge backplane connector and RJ11 station ports all appear clean and undamaged.
