LS-ID Delay Option 3
Caller ID information is sent from the central office during the first silent interval of
ringing. Because it is possible to answer a call before this information arrives, you
can turn on the LS-ID Delay option, which suppresses ringing until the Caller ID
information arrives. This option can be programmed for each line. The factory
setting is Off.
On telephones with personal lines, the green LED next to the personal line button
flashes when a call arrives on the line. The red LED lights and the telephone rings
after a 6-second delay or when Caller ID information arrives, whichever occurs
first. Telephones without personal lines do not receive the call until after the
6-second delay or when Caller ID information arrives.
NOTE:
The caller may hear one or two extra bursts of ringback if LS-ID Delay is
programmed while the person receiving the call has not yet heard a ring.
When the option is programmed on a two-way trunk, the system does not seize a
trunk from the pool for an outgoing call while that trunk is receiving an incoming
call.
The difference between LS-ID Delay and Delay Ring is that Delay Ring provides a
fixed delay for all calls that arrive on the button programmed for Delay Ring. LS-ID
Delay affects calls that are received on lines connected to an 800 GS/LS-ID
module. LS-ID Delay causes a variable delay in ringing at every extension
throughout the system on incoming calls to 800 GS/LS-ID modules. The call is
delayed only until Caller ID information is received from the central office (on loop-
start lines).
Facilities 3
The interface to Caller ID is provided by the 800 GS/LS-ID line/trunk module. This
module supports loop-start lines and ground-start trunks but supports Caller ID
only on loop-start lines.
NOTE:
Lines/trunks used for incoming Caller ID service should not have any
equipment other than the 800 GS/LS-ID module port connected to them.
For Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Remote Call
Forwarding can be used in combination with Caller ID on a loop-start PSTN line
connected to a networked system’s 800 GS/LS-ID line/trunk module. The LS-ID
Delay option must be programmed to On for each line connected to the
800 GS/LS-ID module. To pass Caller ID information across the network when a
call is transferred, set the Remote Call Forwarding Delay to one ring. Transfer of
the call must be completed before the call is forwarded. The user at the extension
that first receives the Caller ID call from the PSTN must activate Remote Call
