Hi,
We have a Avaya Partner ACS system that is only a couple of years old. Ever since we've moved from old AT&T pots lines over to Comcast digital lines we have not been able to see the incoming caller ID. A call to Comcast tech support got us to the "its the PBX system on not our line" answer. When I do plug in a regular single line phone to the Comcast line I do get the caller ID. This is the reason they give us the excuse. The fact that caller ID shows on a regular phone "it must be the phone system." It's a blame game I assume. Let me know if anything can be done to the ACS before I call Comcast to cancel their phone service. I'm regretting moving over to them.

calls being answered by AA or phone ?

I would try letting it ring without AA picking up or phone answering to start , then look at all the CID programing

Ive got at least one Comcast /ACS customer where CID works just fine

What release ACS?
You can do a feature 59 from any display phone and it will show the release.

But yeah, like skip said above, there isn't any programing in the ACS to stop CID other than a AA picking up the lines before the CID has a chance to make it to the ACS (in most places 1 ring, but have ran into a few areas that need two)

We've seen situations where the cable modem gateway didn't produce CID to Bellcore standards and PACS didn't display the CID properly. If worked for years with LEC, customer switched to Comcast, now it doesn't work and it's our fault! And there is not much you can do to fix it.

Comcast is big around here and I haven't had any problems with CID at all, as Skip said if it works on a single line instrument it should work on the ACS.

Thank you for all of your insight. I suppose if it works for one side of the country it doesn't mean it will work for the other side. The Comcast rep mentioned to me that their phone line is an ETA?? thingamajiggy. Tech jargon to me. And that their digital line is not like a VOIP line. When I add a VOIP (Net2phone) line to the phone system is caller ID does shows up. Agan this leads me to believe the issue is with Comcast lines. Comcast tells me their is nothing they can do on their end to solve my issue.
I had the staff called Comcast again today and lo and behold the problem got resolved. Comcast mentioned that something needed to be turned on. So yet again the issue is on Comcast's end.
Thank you again for all of your input.

How many lines do you have? Is your issue with a line that is outside the ACS? say on a 206 module that doesn't have the caller ID feature? Have you checked the line polarity too? Just a thought.

No, I don't think so. Why would it work with a single line phone if it was not enabled? I have run into this same problem with a Partner system not displaying CID when supplied by a cable modem. Unfortunately it never went anywhere because the customer didn't want to persue it. I would have had the cable company swap out the modem then I would swap out the processor to see what happens. But now you have me courious-

...the problem got resolved. Comcast mentioned that something needed to be turned on.

WHAT NEEDED TO BE TURNED ON??????????

You couldn't be bothered to call them back to find out so you wouldn't have to go through this BS the next time? :sleep:
