DID Translation Name

DID Translation Name

[3.01] When a DID call rings an extension, the display can optionally show the name programmed into the DID Translation table for each entry. Since the name is associated with the number the outside caller dialed, the extension user knows the nature of the call before they answer.

When setting up this option, keep the following in mind:
  • The telephone display shows the first 11 characters of the DID name, even though the name can be 18 characters long.
  • If DID Translation Name is enabled but not programmed, the user sees the name of the incoming line. If there is no line name, the user will see the default line name (e.g., "Line 9" for line 9).
