Mercury Administration: Phone Lines Screen
From FloristWiki
The Phone Lines screen allows you to configure the PLLS (Phone Line Locking Server), which manages the phone lines that you use with FTD Mercury. Here you should indicate how you want to share your existing phone lines.

|
This screen should only be used with the assistance of the Mercury Technology Assistance Center. |
The Phone Lines option does not assign a function to a physical phone line, rather you are indicating here how you want them shared. You can assign them to any phone line (#1 or #2 for example). You are not telling the system which phone line to use, rather you are telling the system how you want to share it.
If you use broadband or DSL to connect to the Internet, then you should select None for Internet. If you use MNAPI for the Mercury Network (you send Mercury orders and messages over the Internet), select None for Mercury.
The Phone Lines screen contains the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
| Number of Phone Lines | Enter the number of phone lines you have available for FTD Mercury to use. Internet Line From this list, select a phone line you will use to connect to the Internet. This is the line that you use to send orders (if you use the Internet to send orders), as well as the line you use to browse the Web. |
| Fax Line | From this list, select a phone line to use for faxes. |
| Mercury Line | From this list, select a phone line to use for the Mercury network. |
| Credit Card Line | In the first list, select CC Dial-up #1 for the first credit card line, then from the second list, select a phone line you want to use for that credit card connection.
