Have an Avaya Partner ACS that previously had an outage so now I'm having an issue with Caller ID and with accessing the VM system. Any suggestions?? Can be answered as a two part question.

Can you please list the cards in the system?

IE: 308 EC, 206 EC ? Should be int the middle of the cards of your phone system.

To program a Caller ID Name Display button using remote administration on Partner ACS Release 3 or later systems:

1. In the Partner ACS R3 System window, select Extensions. The Extensions window appears.
2. Select the extension you want to program. The Individual Extension Parameters window appears for the selected extension.
3. Select the Button Programming button. The Button Programming window appears for the selected extension.
4. Optional - For new systems where no download is available: From the Phone Model box, select the arrow and choose Partner-34D, Partner-18D, Partner-18 Non-display, Partner/MLS-6 Non-display, MLC-6 Cordless, MLS-12 Non-display, MLS-12D, MLS-18D, or MLS-34D for this extension. The button layout for the type of phone you selected appears.
5. Select the button you want to program. The Partner Set Button Programming Information dialog box appears.
6. Select the Caller ID Name Display button.
7. When you are finished, select the OK button.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 to program other buttons for this extension.

The Avaya 3158-05 does not have a display. It can't show the Caller ID information from the telephone provider. The Avaya 3158-07 PARTNER 18D or the 34D will display Caller ID information if your system is connected to a telephone line. (One of these modules: 206EC, 308EC, or 400EC, is required. If you have a T1 line, you can't get Caller ID.)

I hope this helps.

The answer to the Caller ID question:
Depend on the type of system that the phone is connected to. Late model Partner ACS equipment will display Caller ID info between the first and second rings, provided that the telephone line is plugged into a module that supports Caller ID.

The answers for the other 2 questions are taken directly out of the Partner ACS Programming Guide which is available for free download at Avaya's website.

Ther answer to the incoming call line ringing question:
Again, depends on the system. For the Partner ACS:

1) Press FEATURE 00 at extension 10 or 11.
2) Enter the number of the extension to be programmed for Line Ringing.

The green lights next to the line or pool buttons show the current Line Ringing settings for all

lines or pools assigned to the extension. (If a line or pool is not assigned to a button, the green

light next to that button is off.) The following ringing options can be shown by the green light

next to the line or pool button:

? Immediate Ring - on steady

? Delayed Ring - flashes slowly
? No Ring - flutters quickly

3) Press the line or pool button until the button light shows the correct setting (the setting for the
currently selected line or pool also appears on the display).
4) Continue programming, or exit programming mode.

Line selection:

For incoming calls, the line selection (hunt sequence) is set by the local service provider). For outgoing calls....again....it depends on the system. For the Partner ACS:

1) Press FEAURE 00, SYSTEM PROG, SYSTEM PROG, CENTRAL PROG at extension 10 or 11.
2) Enter the number of the extension to be programmed for Automatic Line Selection.
3) Press **.
4) Press the line, pool, or INTERCOM buttons in the desired order. The valid entries for Automatic
Line Selection depend upon the type of extension:

? Key Extension: Outside system lines, Left Intercom (the factory setting)

? Pooled Extension: Pool 880 button 1, button 2, Left Intercom, Right Intercom (the factory

setting), Pools 881-883, individual lines

For each button pressed, a display similar to the following appears:

Automatic Line Selection

5) To exit Automatic Line Selection, press **.
6) Press CENTRAL PROG and enter a new extension number, or exit programming mode.

Changing line ringing and line selection are tasks that are normally reserved for the Administrator of the telephone system.

Your ACS has a known software bug. You need to contact the place you purchased it from. They will need to open a ticket with Avaya TierIII, and they will have to upgrade the firmware of the control unit.

The partner voice messaging system would be a card that looks like the processor card , It should also have a green sticker on the face of it identifing it as such.

Yes it can. Depending on the type of voice mail attached to your system you can both have the lines answered with a seperate main greeting (partner messaging can do this) or answered by a seperate mailbox (all partner voice mails).

Depending on the type of voicemail you have, That's done by pressing your voicemail key or intercom 777. If you have a Partnermail VS the admin mailbox is 99 with the default password of 1234.If you mave a Partner Messaging System the admin mailbox is 0 with a default password of 1234 or 123456. Once your into the admin mailbox press 9 for admin programming.

Unfortunatly the only way to do it is to take line access off that phone and have a button call pickup to access ringing line. In this scenario extension wont ring Reffer to programming manual on support/avaya.com Cheers

With the new firmware of the 5x9 syncs the time of the phone system from the data of Caller ID. The provider is sending the wrong time stamp on the caller ID.

They did that to compensate for the new daylight savings time change.
