Description

Inspect allows an MLX display telephone user who is on a call to see call
information about an incoming call that is ringing, alerting, or on hold.
Call information includes whether it is an inside or outside call, any programmed
labels for the caller (such as the inside caller’s name or the label assigned to the
outside line), and how the call came to the user (transferred, coverage call,
forwarded, and so on). Inspect also can be used to inventory what is programmed
on the telephone’s buttons.
To use Inspect to screen incoming calls while on another call or to identify callers
on hold on the telephone using an MLX display telephone, press the Inspct
button and then press the line button with the incoming or held call. The call
information is displayed on the Inspect screen.
To Inspect a programmed button, press the Inspct button and then press the
programmed button. The name of the feature programmed on the button is
displayed on the Inspect screen. However, beginning with Release 2.0, pressing a
programmed Last Number Dial or Saved Number Dial button shows the telephone
number stored. If no number is stored, the feature name is displayed.
Considerations and Constraints

If the company subscribes to special services, such as AT&T’s INFO2 Automatic
Number Identification (ANI) service or Caller ID, the display shows the outside
telephone number of the person calling.
NOTE:
The availability of the caller identification information may be limited by
local-serving (caller’s) jurisdiction, availability, or central office equipment.
If a line button is being inspected, it cannot be used to make or receive a call.
If a user inspects a line that someone else is using, the display shows that the line
is in use.
