AT&T 3.1 manual Connecting Caller ID Display Units

Connecting Caller ID Display Units

To get Caller ID information for an extension, you must first subscribe to the service (on a per-line basis) from your local telephone company, then connect the units as described here. You must connect the Caller ID display unit directly to the line that supports Caller ID at the network interface jack. Additionally, you must provide a separate wiring run for the unit to the appropriate location. To have additional wiring runs installed, call a qualified service technician.

NOTE:

To have Caller ID for multiple lines at a single phone, you must provide a separate box and a separate wiring run for each line.

1	Insert an AT&T 267F2 bridging adapter into the
	network interface jack associated with the line that
2	has Caller ID service.
	A) Plug one end of a line cord into a jack on the
	bridging adapter.
	B) Plug the free end of the line cord into the
	appropriate line jack in the control unit.
	C) Route the cord as you did for other line and
3	extension cords.
	A) Plug one end of a second line cord into the other

jack on the bridging adapter.

B) Plug the free end of the cord into the appropriate modular connecting block in the equipment room.

C) Plug the Caller ID display unit into the additional modular jack—provided by the separate wiring run—at the appropriate location.

D) Place the Caller ID display unit next to the phone.

E) Make sure the Caller ID line is assigned to the extension where the Caller ID display unit is located. Refer to “Line Assignment” in Chapter 5 of the PARTNER Plus Communications System Programming and Use guide for programming instructions.
