Caller ID storage is set under Station Programming DKT tab, FB17.

To use the PAD table, just click on the intersection of the two devices you are trying to set the volume for, and then increase the db level to increase the volume. Remember, an increase of 3 db is about twice the volume level.

Maybe I am missing something. I see where to change the number of saved numbers for caller-id. What I don't see is how to get a phone to save all calls, regardless of whether the calls were picked up on that phone.

The PAD table seems very powerful. I still need to do a little experimenting.

Another caller-id question:

When I pick up a ringing call, the phone immediately starts timing. I would prefer the caller-id message stays on, or at least stays on for a few seconds. Is this possible?

My CTX 100 system has been running perfectly for months. When installing something new, there are usually a few querks. I installed a regular answering machine on every line, instead of a fancy voicemail system. If I am slow to answer the ringing line and the answering machine picks up, sometimes the called party cannot hear me. Any suggestions how I can fix this problem?

When this happens, dial something valid in the dialing plan like 411 then the CTX will cut the trunk through to you. Or enable cut-through on the trunks, but you'll lose the redial feature.

I don't really understand your answer. Why would 411 enable me to talk to the caller? I can hear the caller, but the caller cannot hear me after the answering machine answers.

It's because when the answering machine picks up, the trunk stops ringing and the ctx now considers it an idle trunk. When you select the trunk that the answering machine has siezed the ctx thinks that you're trying to make an outbound call and won't cut the trunk through to you until you dial a phone number that matches the dialing plan. Dialing 411 for example would work because 411 is part of the dialing plan N11. If this is too much of a hassle, you can enable immediate cut-through on the trunks if the redial feature is not important to you. By the way, if you have a spare analog station, place the answering machine on it and have the trunks delay ring to it. That is a more elagant way of doing it and you'll only need 1 answering machine.

ringtone,

If I read your question corectly, you want to get a specific line and call a specific speed dial number, all in one button, right?

I do this most of the time by doing the following:

e.g. Lets say you want to access CO1 and dial the number 123456:

1) Assign a Station speed dial for the telephone number 123456 at location 15:

[Redial][Speed Dial][1][5][123456][Redial]

2) Assign the Station Speed Dial #16 with the Instruction to pick up CO line 1 and use the telephone number at Station Speed Dial #15:

[Redial][Speed Dial][1][6][Intercom Button][7][0][1][Speed Dial Button][1][5][Redial]

Note: Code 701 is to get CO1. For DK280, its [#][7][0][0][1]

3) Use program 39 to assign a flexible key for Station Speed dial #16.

Hope this helps.

Except that his system is a CTX. Speed dial numbers starts at #100. Line code is same as DK280 (#7001 for line 1). Programing Speed dial is different. I use #66+ Speeddial+Numbers+#. #9876+Speedial button+SD #+Number+SD button works too. Phone number should include lines access codes or 9.

Thought this message thread just won't die. I can't even remember the question about speed dials.

This thread is myriad of questions on just about everything. Time to close the thread.
