#Chars Calling Party Name Display on 7940 & 7960

Hello!

Would anyone happen to know (or know where to find) the maximum characters available for display of a Calling Party name on a 7940/60?

Thanks!

The answer is: It depends! ;)

I've done this before, and recreated it quickly to post the following:

When receiving a call and the name display has 14 or fewer characters, it will show:

From

(DN)

When receiving a call and the name display has 15 or more characters, it will show:

From <13 chars>...

(DN)

When placing a call to a DN and the name display has 17 or less characters, the display will show:

To

(DN)

When placing a call to a DN and the name display has 18 or more characters, the display will show:

To <16char>...

(DN)

Some notes:

-you can have up to 30 characters in the Display (Internal Caller ID) field

-all characters will show up in the directories listing (up to 30 anyways that I tested)

-some of the lines on the display use proportional font, some use non-proportional, so it can be misleading, e.g. the line text I believe uses proportional so it's hard to line up text on the phone.

Perfect! This is exactly the information that I needed, and in much greater detail than I had any hope of receiving....

Many thanks for your time!
