							Installing and Programming the Caller ID Feature
On The DXP Plus Digital Communications System
1.0 Introducing the Caller ID Feature
The caller ID feature supports an externally connected, customer-supplied caller ID device. This hardware device
supports eight caller ID conditioned lines, and you can serially connect up to eight devices to give the system the
ability to support a maximum of 64 caller ID conditioned lines. The caller ID unit interfaces with the common
equipment cabinet through any undedicated serial data port supplied by an installed communications card. Any
proprietary digital LCD speakerphone can receive and display caller ID information. The display conveys all
available caller ID information from the time the call rings at the station, through all line transitions, until the line
disconnects. The digital communications system stores caller ID information in its SMDA storage and makes it
available in the SMDA printout.

							2.0 Installing The Caller ID Device
Install the caller ID device with the DXPPlus. If necessary, refer to IMI66–105,Installing the DXP Plus Common
Equipment Cabinetthat you can find in your system hardware instructions binder.
1. Connect the line port modular jacks on the rear of the caller ID device to the CO line connections. Also
connect these CO lines to the DXPPlus.
2. Connect the caller ID device’s serial data connector (labeled RS232 Out) to a serial data port on a
communications card installed in the DXPPlus. For the data interface between the caller ID device and the
digital communication system, use any undedicated serial data port provided by a communications card
installed in the DXPPlus.
3. Connect the power supply to an 120 VAC electrical outlet, and connect the power supply’s output cable to the
power connector on the rear of the caller ID device.

							2.1 Setting the Parameter Switches
The caller ID device has two banks of parameter-controlling Dual In-Line Pin (DIP) switches located on its front
panel.
Setting Switch S1
Switches S1–1 through S1–8 select the signalling protocol of the RS232 Out connector and asssist in matching the
caller ID device’s signals with that of the communications system.
Switches S1–1 through S1–8 are all factory set to OFF. Ensure that these switches remain OFF unless you are
stacking multiple caller ID devices together. If you are stacking multiple units together, leave S1–1 through S1–6
and S1–8 OFF but set S1–7 ON.
Setting Switch S2
Switches S2–1 through S2–5 set the baud rate, data bits, and parity. Switches S2–6, S2–7, and S2–8 set the unit
address for each caller ID device when you stack multiple devices together.
Switch S2–1 Switch S2–2 Baud Rate

							3.0 Programming for the Caller ID Feature
In programming for caller ID support, you must match the data baud rate with that of the caller ID device, you
must enable the caller ID lines, and you must assign them to ring on the telephones. You can set the caller ID
options, and enter the local area codes and local exchange codes that you want the system to skip when it
automatically dials a return call. You can also assign caller ID ring no-answer (RNA) capability to the telephones
that are on caller ID lines.  Users of these telephones have the ability to review this caller ID RNA information
and return the call. They can also note if anyone else has already viewed a record thus preventing redundant
returns.
3.1 Making Caller ID Active
