T-1 Caller ID

[wspence]

Telco is proposing a T-1 to a customer (PRI not available). I have never known Telco to provide caller id on a T-1, is it possible?

I don't think so. You could ask if ANI is available on the T1.

and if ani worked it will only show the number not the name

and my experience has been that if you can get the telco to do ANI, with Nortel equipment you can't do ANI and DID at the same time on a non-PRI t1... it's one or the other.

I have hooked up a t-1 with caller id to a bcm. It should be the same. The user will only get caller id number not name. Everything else worked fine.

Yes with 7.0 software I know (maybe 6.1 not sure) there is an actual heading asking if your expectng ANI. Set that to yes this way it will take the ID info (number only) and the DID info. But jgideon was correct, in ealier software I don't think you could do both.

good to know they've improved the software I'll have to ask around and see if they've fixed it on the big switches now, too....
