block caller ID

[adavi]

My boss wants his number to remain private when calling out of office or to show the main PBX number e.g 417-5000. Can this be done in the option 11 system and how?

If you have control over what digits you are sending than you just have to build a CLID table.Sometimes your telco provider has control over your CLID and if so you will have to ask them to release it to you.Does anyone else send 417-5000 from your PBX, if so just add his key 0 to that CLID entry..if it exists already.

If the phone is an IP phone then create a new zone and put his phone into it.

Then use zbr to insert the digits to block outgoing CLI.

eg ZBR <zone> <digits> so ZBR 4 141

where 141 is the code to block CLI in the UK

Make sure you have 141 as an SPN and increase the size of the dialable digits.

----------------------
If it is a digital or analogue set, create an AC2 that uses a new DMI table to insert the code.

Hope that helps.
