Caller Display

Last Updated : Mar 01, 2023 |

For incoming calls, in addition to the audible ring and ringer light, the phone displays information about the caller.

Name Matching

Where possible, the IP Office system displays a name rather than a caller's number.

  • For internal callers, all users and groups have names in the IP Office system configuration.

  • For external callers, it tries to match the caller's number to names in the systems directory. It can also match the number to a name in your personal directory. A personal directory match overrides any system directory match.
