Incoming Call Line Identification (ICLID) Delay

Incoming Call Line Identification
(ICLID) Delay
Use this procedure to delay the alerting (ringing) of LS-ID calls to all
extensions until approximately six seconds have elapsed since the port
module informed the system software that the line was ringing, or the system
software has been informed that ICLID information is available, whichever
comes first.
This option can be programmed on a per trunk basis. It gives the appearance
to the users that the ICLID information is available the moment the call arrives
at the extension, and prevents applications or adjuncts from answering the
call too soon.
The LS-ID Delay option appears on the Ground-Start/Loop-Start Trunk
Information report.
Any extension or adjunct that answers an incoming CO line on the first ring
causes the ICLID information associated with the call to be lost. The adjunct .
must be programmed to either answer the call on the second (or later) ring, or
the call must be delayed. The call can be delayed by setting the ring option
on the buttons associated with the adjunct or by using the LS-ID Delay option.
NOTE:
Caller ID is available only on loop-start lines/trunks.
