Receiving a call
When you receive a call, you are typically notified by the alerting ring, and
the incoming caller identification appears on the LCD screen. The
incoming call forces the screen to exit active menu activities and takes
precedence over a pop-up Instant Message (IM).

Caller identification

When you receive an incoming SIP call, the Caller ID information appears
on the LCD screen. When you receive a call from a contact that is entered
in the Avaya 1165E IP Deskphone Address Book, the caller information
appears as it is in the Address Book. See Figure 23 on page 150.
You can restrict the information displayed for incoming calls or for calls
you make. For more information, see “Configuring Privacy settings” on
page 272.

•Answer an incoming call. See “Answering an incoming call” on
