How do I Block Internal CallerID

[StreamlineNet]

Goal: I have a high level executive that wants to send a daily Page to all users on the system. But he does not want the user to see his number in the call log nor the display also, he does not want his extension to be displayed for any internal calls.

I have external covered already....
Question:
Is there a way to block his phone's Number from displaying in the call logs and on the screen when he calls and makes pages?

Setup:
I am running a IPO 500v2 with H323 9608 phones. The build is with 278 IP phones and VM Pro all users are going to get paged. 200 users are power users so we do have access to OneXPortal if that will help.

We must use the "KIS" approach to the user.

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Jason

Get someone else to make the page.
Log into a phantom user designed only for this function.

BTW you forgot the extra "S" in the KISS method.
The missing S is for Stupid.

VM Pro will mask the page if he records it first and then it pages the group with the recording, not much you can do about internal calls though

Hive you tried setting his extn to Ex-Directory?

Isn't exclude directory only for dial by name?

I Only asked if it had been tried, I never said if it would work.

Just tried it myself & it doesn't it just hides it in the directory lookup.

Here is what I came up with. Yes he is blocked from directory.

I am going to bridge appearance to his admin assistance's 3rd line with on ring. Let him use that line for paging. Then it should show her for paging.

Still do not know how to hide his extension from users or mask is as his assistance unless I bridge his calls, but maybe this will pacify him for a while.

The basic component of IPO is the user extension and many have tried and all have failed to keep the extension number from being received on an internal call.
A bridged appearance may still show that he is using the appearance.

You cannot page 200 + users in once!
Get an external paging system if this is important.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!
