In Release 6.1 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Forward can
be used to send calls to a non-local extension across a private network.
Caller ID information is sent with the forwarded call if PRI tandem trunks
connect the systems.
Group Calling Caller ID information appears on the display. Outgoing call information is
not displayed.
In Release 6.1 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Caller ID
information can be passed across a private network that uses PRI
tandem trunks. This is done by assigning the LS-ID lines connected to the
800 GS/LS-ID module to ring directly into a calling group containing a
single non-local member. The LS-ID Delay option must be programmed to
On for each line routed.
Headset Options When using Headset Auto Answer, program the LS-ID Delay option to
avoid loss of Caller ID information.
Night Service Caller ID information appears on the display, whether or not Night Service
has been activated.
Personal Lines Caller ID information appears on the display of shared personal lines.
Outgoing call information is not displayed.
Pools Collisions are avoided on two-way trunks. Trunks programmed with the
LS-ID Delay option are not seized from a pool for outgoing calls if a call is
coming in on that trunk.
Remote Access Caller ID information is not retrieved on remote access lines/trunks unless
LS-ID Delay is programmed for the line/trunk because the calls are
answered too quickly.
Ringing Options LS-ID Delay or Delay Ring can be used to delay the ringing on lines
answered automatically so Caller ID information is not lost. If a line/trunk
has LS-ID Delay, Delay Ring gives an additional delay.
Service Observing In Release 6.1 and later systems Service Observers do not receive Caller
ID information for an observed call, including Calling Party number, Called
Party number, Call Type, and Facility ID.
