Call Appearance Call Handling Electronic Key Telephone System 
 

Definition  
Call Appearance Call Handling Electronic Key Telephone System (CACH EKTS) simulates multiple call handling at a single desktop station. Users can receive multiple calls for the same directory on several ISDN lines using one of the call appearance IDs that is assigned to the directory number. With this feature, the CO can offer a call on multiple interfaces because the directory number call appearances are shared. This allows the HiPath 3000 to respond to the call with an idle interface. CACH is called call appearance identification (CAID) in the HiPath 3000.

Call appearance identification (CAID) values  
In a basic EKTS system CAID values are not supported. AT&T's 5E exchanges and Unify EWSD exchanges support CAID. The Northern Telcom central offices use phantom DID numbers instead of CAID values.
