70 CHAPTER 7: STANDARD FEATURES
Controlling Caller
ID
This section describes how to enable and use Caller ID privacy features.
By default, the VCX system shows your Caller ID (your name and
extension) on the Display Panel of the telephone receiving your call if that
telephone supports Caller ID. You can control whether the VCX system
sends your Caller ID when you make a call. You can choose one of the
following settings:
■ Select one of the following settings for all your calls:
■ Send Caller ID information (Anonymous Now is disabled).
■ Block Caller ID information (Anonymous Now is enabled).
■ Block Caller ID information for your next call. This setting only applies
when the setting for all calls is set to Send Caller ID information. You
must enter the destination number to call.You can control these
settings by entering the appropriate feature code.
Anonymous Now— When enabled, the system blocks your Caller ID to
all dialed numbers and Anonymous displays on the destination phone.
Anonymous Next — When enabled, the system restricts Called ID
information from displaying only on the next call that you make. This
setting only applies when Anonymous Now is disabled, or the setting for
all calls is set to Send Caller ID information.
If you disable Caller ID, the system sends your Caller ID to all dialed
numbers.
To toggle the current default setting, press Feature + 889. If Caller ID is
enabled, entering this command disables it for all subsequent calls. If
Caller ID is disabled, entering this command enables it for all subsequent
calls.
If transmission of Caller ID information is enabled and you want to block
your Caller ID for the next call only:
1 Pick up the handset.
2 Press Feature + 890.
3 Dial the number. Your ID is not delivered to the caller.
