Managing displays
Displaying caller information
This chapter provides information on the messages that appear on the read-out
screen on display phones.
Your system uses automatic incoming call display to provide information about
incoming calls to a display phone that is in use, or active on a call. The
information is displayed for 30 seconds on all phones except for CALLMASTER
phones, where the display goes blank after 30 seconds. However, the information
for each new call overrides the existing message.
Call information appears on the display only if the call terminates at the phone.
For example, if the call is forwarded to another extension, no call information
appears.
See ‘‘Telephone displays’’ on page 1833 for more information on the buttons and
languages you can set up for the messages that appear on the display.
Displaying ANI calling party
information
Calling party information may consist of either a billing number that sometimes is
referred to as Automatic Number Identification (‘‘ANI’’), or a calling party
number. Your phone may display the calling party number and name, or the
incoming trunk group name.
