Running an On-Hook Caller ID Test
The On-Hook Caller ID test enables the tester to receive a call on the test line
from another line, then capture and display Caller ID calling party information.
1. Select the On-Hook Caller ID function and then press L.
The tester waits indefinitely (in an on-hook condition) for an incoming
phone call, which must be placed from another POTS line to the POTS
line under test.
If the test line is equipped with the Caller ID feature, the tester detects the
incoming Caller ID information (sent by the C.O. switch) after the first
ringing interval. It then displays the received Phone number along with the
associated Name, Date, and Message (if included).
