CallPilot 150 Telephone Administration Guide

Call Screening lets subscribers determine who is calling before they accept a call. Call Screening 
is useful if there is no Caller ID available. The system records the caller’s name, calls the 
subscriber’s telephone, announces the name of the caller and offers options such as accepting the 
call or taking a message.

Call Screening applies to external calls dialed by callers using the extension dialing facilities of the 
Automated Attendant or Custom Call Routing (CCR). Call Screening does not apply to internal 
calls, or external calls routed using a CCR Transfer node or placed to a mailbox owner’s dedicated 
line. If a caller is calling from a line for which the mailbox owner has recorded a Personal Mailbox 
Greeting, Call Screening is bypassed and the call transfers without delay.

If Call Screening is enabled, CallPilot calls a mailbox owner’s telephone that is call forwarded.

The default for Call Screening is No, which means that unless subscribers have Calling Line 
Identification (CLID) they cannot determine who is calling before they answer the call.

You can apply dialing restrictions to Nortel Networks Business Series Terminals and the 
extensions connected to CallPilot 150.

Do one of the following:

•

In system programming, assign dialing restrictions to the extension numbers that CallPilot is 
connected to. This restricts all outdialing calls including external transfers from CCR trees, 
Off-premise Message Notification and Outbound Transfers. Outdialing is done by the 
extension that CallPilot is connected to. For more information refer to your system 
documentation.

•

In system programming, assign dialing restrictions to the extension of the subscriber. For 
additional information, refer to your system documentation.

•

In system programming, assign dialing restrictions to the lines used for outdialing. For 
additional information, refer to your system documentation.
