Automatic Caller ID Call Routing

Caller ID service from your phone company

is required for Digitone's DCB Plus to work.

The first call to your DCB Plus unit will

initialize the Clock and Date to the

current date and time. Automatic call

routing will begin to work right after the

first call when Caller ID information is

displayed.

Note that during Daylight

Savings

Time

changes,

the

phone

company is responsible for updating their

clock data when delivering the caller ID

information.

Caller ID Display Icons

The "N" on the upper left of the display is for New calls and the red LED flashes until this is reduced to 0.

The telephone icon shows the line is either on-hook or offhook or if the call was already answered.

There is an envelope above the VIP icon that indicates a message waiting if you have this service. The

VIP icon indicates a caller in Code List 61 has called in. To the right is the time and date, then "T" for

Total calls currently in Call History.

Front Panel Button Basics

Protected Mode - Front Panel Buttons

The display is normally in Protected Mode, when the DCB Plus is sitting idle and the front panel buttons

are locked. Numbers are shown on the display without dashes to prevent accidental number entries to a

list. To enable the front panel buttons and add Blocked, Invited or VIP list entries, you must first

use the Call History Up or Down viewing buttons to select a displayed number which will then show the

numbers with dashes between the digits, Ex. 602-555-5555. This allows you to add a number to a list.

Block Button - Instant Ringing Stop

You can block a new caller after the 2nd ring and stop the call just by pressing the Block button Twice

quickly. DO NOT HOLD the Block button down! The red LED will flash to indicate the call has been

answered, the display will show the "NBR Blocked" and will then be added to the Blocked Callers List.

Block Button - Numbers

Blocked Callers can be entered by First using the Call History Up or Down viewing buttons to put the

dashes in the selected number, then pressing the Block button Twice quickly on the front panel.

"NBR Blocked" will display and the red LED indicator will flash to show that call is now on the Blocked

Call List. "Blocked" will display with the LED flashing to show when that caller has been hung up on.

Block Button - Names

This feature only works with the Block button on Call History entries and not in Programming.

Block up to 20 individual names (except OPX names) with or without numbers that use the same name

with different numbers. Using the Call History Up or Down view buttons, press the Block button

Once quickly on the front panel on the selected Name you want to block. After 1 second, the Name on

the lower line of the display will begin to blink. To store that name, press the Block button again

Twice quickly and then the display will indicate "Name Blk Stored" for that Caller ID name shown.

Invite Button - Numbers

Invited Callers can be entered by First using the Call History Up or Down view buttons to put the

dashes in the selected number, then press and hold the Invite button on the front panel for one second

until you see "Release Button" displayed. Release the button and you will see "NBR Invited". The red

LED indicator will flash to show that call is now on the Invited Call List. When an invited caller calls in,

the caller ID will display their number and "Invited".
