Telephone companies offer a range of services on their telephone lines. The
range of services that is offered varies by telephone company, and some
services may not be available on all lines. Please consult your local telephone
company for feature availability. Many of the services offered by your local
telephone company are compatible with and enhanced by TalkSwitch’s
capabilities.
Use of services may require a subscription or incur service charges.
CALLER ID
The Caller ID service displays the phone number and name associated with an
incoming call. Caller ID is also referred to as Call DisplayCaller Display, Calling
Number Display, or IdentiCall.
The TalkSwitch unit can pass the caller ID to its local extensions when
incoming calls are transferred by the auto attendant. If a local extension is
configured to ring at least twice before the auto attendant answers,
TalkSwitch will pass the caller ID to that extension. If a call is transferred
from one extension to another, the caller ID will also be passed on. The
TalkSwitch unit can use the time stamp from the caller ID to set its internal
clock.
DISTINCTIVE RING
The Distinctive Ring service provides multiple phone numbers on one
telephone line. Each phone number causes the phone to ring with a different
ring pattern. The ring patterns have one, two, or three rings in each burst.
