caller id analog set

[reidj]

I have a G3V6i and want to set up caller id on analog cordless set. As of now 4digit and incoming calls do not show up. Any sugestions?

V6 will not support that feature. I believe it was first introducen in V8 or V9 and requires the TN793B circuit pack.

V6!!!??? You've got to be kidding! You do know, I hope, that by mid-June you'll be 7 releases "behind" the times?

V6 was a good release, much better than R7, R8, and if you are updating to the latest releases with Avaya, be aware that you are in fact, a 'beta tester' to get all of the bugs of a system that should never be released to the general public with so many problems. But that is Avaya policy now. Rather than carefully testing new releases before starting to sell them, they just send out 'junk' and then patch it and let the customer suffer till they get the bugs out. Most smart customers wait a year before going to the latest release and thus avoid a lot of headaches.

v6 will support it but you need a tn793b and analog caller id turned on in "disp sys cust". the set type must be "callrID".

Thanks for your help. I have tn746b cards so no go. Oh yeah and ozrus, no I am not kidding. I work for a school district that is rather tight on budgets.

I would guess they would only need a few phones to be able to use the caller-id features. The Tn 793B packs are not that much and you can still use them just like the tn746 but you get 24 ports. You might want to get one and try it out. I understand about your schools budget problems. In the state system here, their are some units that are still using 1A2 key systems. (You would need 4meravaya or orypecos to explain what they are LOL.)

Not everyone will pay the extortion fees that Avaya wants to upgrade their switches. This is particularly true if everything is working properly.

For example, I have two systems. A G3iV6 that's as old as the hills, and a G3iV11 that's pretty well up to snuff as well as an Intuity LX 1.1 system.

The two G3i's are using DCS, no problems at all. I'll be honest, the only thing I wish V6 had is the "list trace" function.

Oh, the G3iV11 also uses an MCK to provide service to another remote office. I cannot believe how expensive those babies are for what is essentially an intelligent channel bank.

CallrID" G3 Version must be V8 or later" is the error message that I get when trying to add a caller Id station on a G3csiV6
