Cisco Analog Cordless? 1

[ethereal112]

Does Cisco make an analog cordless unit with Caller ID? I need to have a cordless phone that I can split and install a external loud bell for a very noisy welding shop and also be able to transmit and receive caller ID.

We have had a number of instances where we have had to supply a cordless phone in areas with insufficient Wi Fi coverage so ruling out Cisco 7921s. Have you considered a standard DEC-T phone connected via an ATA186? Unfortunately none of the analogue phones we have deployed in this manner have a display so I can't confirm if the CLID would be presented, but I can't see why it wouldn't. If you can give me until the 25th, I can give you a definite answer.

I've tried a Panasonic cordless and even basic corded analog phones and none have the capability to receive CLID, I did attach these to a Cisco ATA but no luck. I will wait for your results and thanks! much appreciated.

Hi

Some good news. We've just deployed a BT Diverse 6110 DEC-T phone connected via a Cisco ATA186. Both the directory number and the contents of the "ASCII Display Internal Caller ID" are displayed on the handset when an inbound call is ringing.

Hope this helps
