OLI release level

[Phonyman]

Does anyone know what software level on a MICS OLI works? Tried it on 4.0 software and it did not work. Did I miss something or is 4.0 too old.

Thanks.

I have a system working on 4.1 with OLI on a PRI. can you tell us a little more about this. On a PRI or T1 etc.

They have 7 lines off a T1 with a drop and insert adtran.

Thanks.

OLI is an ISDN Function it sends the origination ID as a packet on the d channel. T1 channels and Copper trunks don't have OLI as an option.

What jerryreeve said is accurate. You cannot have OLI on a T1.

I am confused? What exactly does OLI do? Does it block outgoing ID or incoming?

oli = outgoing line identification

works with isdn trunks
each station can have its own identity sent out or not

OLI is really set up for E911 centers so the center can get exactly the location of a call originating in a multi room/multi-floor/multi-building system. the Caller ID that is received at the other end reflects what you have programmed on the station, the 911 center then has a drawing supplied by the customer and they can pinpoint the location of the caller. a freebee is that the OLI also creates Caller ID for the rest of us.

Thanks for the info guys. I have a CICS at the office and have copper lines. OLI works on these lines. I wonder if it is a function of caller id being enabled from the lec rather than just copper trunks.

Thanks
