54 Chapter 5 Setting up the Automated Attendant

About the CLID Routing Table

Set up a CLID Table to control how calls are routed based on the Caller Identification of callers. To use a CLID Table, your incoming lines must be equipped with Caller Identification service.

If an incoming call has a CLID value that matches one of the entries in the CLID Table, the call is directed according to the CLID Routing Table rather than the Greeting Table. After the call is directed, the call disconnects or returns to the routing according to the Auto Attendant status. For more information on the Auto Attendant status refer to “Setting the Automated Attendant status” on page 96.

You can set up the CLID Routing Table to direct frequent callers to a specific extension or mailbox, CCR Tree or Greeting Table.

A CLID Routing Table can have a maximum of 100 entries. Entries correspond to a unique phone number or a range of numbers. For example, if you enter 4165960196, the system routes an incoming call from this number to a specific destination. However, if you make 416 a table entry, all incoming calls with this prefix are routed to a specific destination.

Entries in the CLID Routing Table are sorted in numerical order, from the longest number to the shortest. An incoming call is routed by the longest CLID entry that matches the calling number. For example:

Destination number

Table entry

For the CLID Routing Table to work, your company must:

subscribe to CLID services from your local telephone company

have the appropriate hardware for your systems (a CI Trunk cartridge for example)

To set up a CLID Routing Table you:

enter a phone number

assign a destination. A destination can be a Greeting Table, mailbox, extension, CCR Tree or a node on a Tree
