Telephone Line Emulator User’s Manual
40-400-00020, Rev. M 82
The TLE-ICID module allows the user to program parameters such as setting a 10 digit
limit (Bellcore phone number display standard), a Number Prefix (used to support display
of numbers beyond 16 digits), which Group of Phone numbers are used for Calling Line,
Call Forward, and Redirect Number display, and the ability to program the Group 1 Name
to be displayed. These parameters are programmed individually for each Line.
Phone Number, also known as Calling Number / Calling Line Identity
The Calling Number sent to a Caller ID telephone or display unit can be of varying lengths.
The telephone numbers in the TLE can be up to 16 digits in length. Some countries and
formats require that fewer digits be sent or allow for a greater number of digits. For
example, Australia FSK allows up to 64 characters, ETSI DTMF signaling allows up to 20
characters, Bellcore FSK allows up to 10 digits, and in the U.K. up to 18 digits are allowed.
The TLE-ICID module will allow for up to 64 characters to be sent by using a special
function called a “Prefix Number” along with the Telephone Number. The user can
program Prefix Numbers for each of the 4 lines, which may be up to 48 characters long.
Allowed characters are digits 0-9, asterisk “ * ”, octothorpe “ # ”, space “ ”, dash “ - ”, left
parentheses “ ( ”, and right parentheses “ ) ”. This prefix may be enabled or disabled for
each line. This dial prefix will be enabled or disabled for each line for other functions such
as Calling Line Number, Call Forward Number, and Dialable Directory Number. The
Calling Number to be displayed is selected from one of the three groups of programmable
phone numbers in the TLE.
Calling Party Name
The Calling Name in the TLE-ICID is programmable (Group 1 name only) and is limited to
64 characters. Group 2 and Group 3 names are fixed. The Calling Name is selected for
each line from one of the three groups of names in the TLE. The default names for the 3
groups are as follows:
Group 1 - Programmable names, uses Group 1 phone numbers
Line 1 = ANDERSON ALLEN
Line 2 = JONES JENNIFER
Line 3 = SMITH SHARON
Line 4 = MACDONALD MIKE
Group 2 - Fixed names, uses Group 2 phone numbers
Line 1 = CLINTON BOB
Line 2 = REAGAN RICK
Line 3 = CARTER JOHNNY
Line 4 = FORD GARY
Group 3 - Fixed names, uses Group 3 phone numbers
Line 1 = MONTANA JIM
Line 2 = MARINO DON
Line 3 = AIKMAN TOM
Line 4 = KELLY JOHN
