Setting The Originating Line Identification For An Extension - Nortel Norstar System Administration Manual

Setting the Originating Line Identification for an
extension
P0607114 Issue 01
Every Answer extension number assigned to the telephone
automatically assigns an Answer key with an indicator to the
telephone. These keys should be labelled accordingly, identifying
the telephone with its name or extension number.
More than one telephone can have an Answer key for the same
extension number. In this way, more than one telephone can
provide Call Alerting and Call Answering for any calls directed
to that extension number.
A private line does not generate alerting at an Answer key.
Note: You cannot assign Answer extension numbers to an
M7000/T7000, M7100N/T7100 telephones or to a single-
line telephone connected to an Analogue Terminal
Adapter (ATA).
See "Answer keys" on page 242 for information on using Answer
keys.
Outgoing calls on a Direct Inward Access (DIA) line use an
Originating Line Identification (OLI) number, which appears on
the telephone display of the called party as part of the calling line
identification (CLID). Compact Plus allows you to programme
the OLI number for each extension. The OLI number could be the
Public Received number for the DIA line assigned to the
extensions, or it could be a different Public Received number if
you wish calls to be returned to someone else's extension. Ensure
that the OLI numbers are in the same range as the received digits
that come from the exchange.
For example, a sales manager who uses a DIA line to call clients
may wish to have returned calls directed to an assistant. The OLI
programmed for the manager's extension is the Public Received
number for the assistant's extension. Thus, a client viewing the
CLID number on their telephone display sees the assistant's
telephone number.
If the OLI number is set to None, then the CLID displayed at the
called party's telephone is a listed extension number for your
Compact Plus system. If the programmed OLI number is outside
the allowed range, Compact Plus may insert a default number.
