Caller ID

Direct Call

If desired, you can allow a designated phone number to access a personal box directly when the answering machine is activated. In this case the caller will immediately hear the outgoing message of the personal box instead of that of the general box. You can designate one phone number for each personal box.

Note: This function cannot be used if you are using Distinctive Ring.

Blocking voice calls

With Caller ID turned on, you can use the Anti Junk Fax function described in Blocking Reception of Unwanted Faxes in this chapter to prevent voice calls as well as fax receptions (the Anti Junk Fax function can normally only prevent faxes).

In this case, when a voice call or a fax transmission comes in from a number you have specified as a "Junk Number", your fax will break the connection as soon as it receives the calling phone number from the caller ID service (before the third ring).

To use this function, set Option Setting 13 to YES as described in Chapter 8, Option Settings, and then enter the number in the Anti Junk Number List as explained in Blocking Reception of Unwanted Faxes in this chapter.
