General information and programming Caller ID
Topics include:
Considerations for Caller ID installed within
the system:
- You system must be either Partner II R3 or higher, any Partner ACS, or
any Partner Endeavor system.
- The lines with Caller ID must be installed on 206EC, 400EC, 308EC,
362EC, Partner ACS Processor, or Partner Endeavor Processor cards.
- The call must ring two (2) times before the Partner system can pick up
the Caller ID information. If an auto-answer device picks up the call
(Partner Mail, Auto Attendant, DXD, etc) the device must allow the call to
ring two times.
- All system display phones can display the incoming phone number.
Phones with small displays (MLS-12D, MLS-18D, MLS-34D, Endeavor-18D,
Endeavor-34D) will not be able to display the name at the same time, nor
will they be able to work with the advanced Call Logging features on
Partner ACS/Endeavor.
- On Call Coverage, the Caller ID information is not passed to the
covering extension.
- On Call Forward the Caller ID information is passed to the destination
extension. Calls forwarded and unanswered at both the originating
extension and the forwarded extension will be logged as unanswered calls
by the Caller ID Logging feature at both extensions. If the forwarded call
is answered at the forwarded extension, it will not be logged unless the
Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) feature is set to log answered calls.
Caller ID Inspect/Name Display
This feature is available on:
Partner II Release 3.0 and later systems
All Partner ACS systems
All Partner Endeavor systems
The Caller ID Inspect button can be used on any Partner system phones, or
MDW-9030, MDW-9031, BC-905, and must be programmed onto a button with
lights. Users active on a call can use this to view Caller ID information
for a second call that is either ringing, active or on hold, without
disconnecting or placing their current call on hold. This button only lights
up when you are trying to access a call, just touching the button won't
light it up. The information displayed for the Inspect button will remain on
the display for approximately 8-10 seconds.
Note: Because of space limitations, the Business Cordless 905
telephone LCD display cannot show the full Caller ID information provided by
the Partner ACS system. It will only show the first 15 digits/characters.
The Caller ID Name Display button can be used on any Partner system phone
(or MDW-9030 and MDW-9031) but must be programmed onto a button with lights.
Users can use this to toggle the display between incoming Caller ID number
and the Caller ID name. If the button is not lit, the number displays, if it
is lit, the name displays. (Caller ID Name is an optional Feature of the
Caller ID service provided by your local dial tone provider and may not be
available in your area.)
How to use:
Caller ID information is passed to an extension between the first and
second ring so be sure to wait until the second ring before answering the
call. Users automatically receive Caller ID information for calls that
audibly alert (ring) at the extension. For lines or pools set to Immediate
Ring, Caller ID information is displayed after the first ring. For lines or
pools set to Delayed Ring, Caller ID information is displayed as soon as the
call begins audibly alerting (ringing). For lines or pools set to No Ring or
Do Not Disturb, no Caller ID information is displayed. You must press the
line buttons when phone is idle to view Caller ID information for lines that
do not ring or press Caller ID inspect.
There are two ways to inspect Caller ID lines:
- If you are active on a call, you automatically get Caller ID
information for that call. However, if you want to view Caller ID
information for a second call without ending the active call or putting it
on hold, press Caller ID Inspect and then press the line button
that you want to inspect. (If you have Call Waiting, you will not receive
Caller ID information for the second call.)
- If you are not active on a call, you can press line buttons to
view Caller ID information for those lines; however, keep in mind that if
you pick up the handset you will join or answer the call shown on the
display.
(In addition, you may Toggle between the Name and Number for an incoming
call with Caller ID Name Display- if button is lit it shows the name, if not
it shows the telephone number.)
How to use Caller ID Inspect on MDW-9030 and MDW-9031 phones:
While active/not active on a call, move the selector rectangle to the
line with Inspect button on it, then press the Inspect button. Move the
selector rectangle to line button you want to inspect and press the line
button. Continue to move the rectangle and press the line button to Inspect
other lines. Move rectangle to Inspect button row and press Inspect button
to turn off feature.
How to use Caller ID Name Display on MDW-9030 and MDW-9031 phones:
To display the name instead of the number of the call you are currently
on, move the selector rectangle to the row that contains the Name Display
button. Press the Name Display button. To return to displaying the number,
move the selector rectangle to the row that contains the Name Display button
(if it is not already there), and press the button.

This programming procedure allows you to associate lines with extensions
for the purposes of logging unanswered Caller ID calls. Multiple lines can
be associated with an extension and multiple extensions can be associated
with the same line. Caller ID calls can be logged only if they ring on an
extension that is associated with a line that has been programmed for Call

General Information on Caller ID
Call Logging and Dialing
These features are available on:
Partner ACS Release 2 or later systems
All Partner Endeavor systems
This feature is available on 24-character Partner-18D and Partner-34D
display phones. It is not available on MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip and Ring phones.
Once the you assign the Caller ID Call Log Line Association (#318),
Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317), and/or the Caller ID Log All Calls
(#319) features to log Caller ID calls, you use Caller ID Logging and
Dialing (F23) to view the log. This feature gives users the ability to view
Caller ID information for unanswered Central Office calls and unanswered
Central Office calls transferred to an extension.
Up to 400 call records can be stored for the system. Each line that is
associated with an extension to log Caller ID calls is guaranteed a minimum
of 20 call records.
In addition, users can automatically dial the number stored in the log.
The call records stored in each user's call log and available for viewing
depends on the following:
- Unanswered transferred calls are logged automatically, whether or not
the line and extension are associated with the Call Logging features.
- If Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) is used alone, all Caller ID
calls that are answered by that extension are logged.
- If Caller ID Log Line Association (#318) is used alone, all unanswered
Caller ID calls that ring on a line associated with the extension are
logged.
- If both Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) and Caller ID Log Line
Association (#318) are used, all Caller ID calls that are answered by that
extension and all unanswered Caller ID calls that ring on a line
associated with the extension are logged.
- If both Caller ID Log Line Association (#318) and Caller ID Log All
Calls (#319) are used, all answered Caller ID calls and all unanswered
Caller ID calls received at any extension on specific lines are logged.
This combination can be assigned to a maximum of one extension per system.
The Caller ID information is shown on three screens:
- The first screen shows the caller's number (or the reason that the
number is not available).
- The second screen shows the caller's name (or the reason that the name
is not available).
- The third screen shows the date and time of the call.
In addition, the system logs the line the call came in on; whether the
log entry was viewed; whether the call was answered or not answered; and
whether an attempt was made to return the call using the Dialing option.
How to use Call ID Logging and Dialing feature:
When Caller ID information is logged for your extension and you have

phones. It is not available for the MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip and Ring phones.
This programming procedure allows you to program a maximum of one
extension to log all answered Caller ID calls and all unanswered Caller ID
calls received at any extension on specific lines. You must use the Caller
ID Call Log Line Association (#318) programming procedure to associate lines
with the extension that will log all calls, then use the Caller ID Log All
Calls (#319) feature to allow the extension to log all Caller ID calls on
the associated lines. Once the features are activated for an extension, when
the user activates the Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing (F23), all caller
ID calls that are answered or answered by any extension on the associated
lines are logged. A telephone symbol (a vertical handset) appears in the
Call Status Display to indicate that the call being viewed has been
answered. The Caller ID Log All Calls feature is useful when a centralized
user needs information for all calls received in the system. For example, a
supervisor could use the log for quality assurance by contacting callers and
inquiring about the customer's satisfaction with the results of the call.

This programming procedure allows a system administrator to program
extensions to log answered Caller ID calls so that calls answered at an
individual extension can be viewed in the Caller ID Call Log. Once the
feature is activated for an extension, when a user activates the Caller ID
Call Logging and Dialing (F23) all caller ID calls that are answered by that
extension will be logged. A telephone symbol (a vertical handset) appears in
the Call Status Display to indicate that the call being viewed has been
answered.
