New Telephone Features

ATTENTION: Vice Presidents, Deans, Directors, Department Heads, and Other Interested Parties

Effective August 23, 1996, two new line features will be added to both analog and ISDN telephone lines. These new features are described below.

1. Caller ID Suppression: This feature will suppress the station number from displaying on the receiving station on a per-call basis.
   1. Lift handset
   2. Depress *67
   3. Dial desired number
   Caller ID is a system-wide feature which sends the caller's number to both internal and external telephones capable of receiving and displaying the incoming station identification information. Unless you have specifically designated Private Number or you use the per-call override instructions detailed above, your station information will be sent to both internal and external callers.
2. Call Pick-up: This feature allows the pick-up of another extension that is in a particular call pick-up group. Currently analog and ISDN lines use different key sequences in order to activate this feature. The key sequences will now be the same for both line types. To retrieve a call in your call pick-up group:
   1. Hear ringing telephone
   2. Lift handset
   3. Depress *99
   4. Caller will be on the line
