I'm guessing you didnt press the left hand intercom twice. Changing the time on a Partner system is done on either ext 10 or 11. At one of those ext's press the feature key and "00"
next press the left hand intercom twice
the display should say system programming
enter in "#103"
the display should say system time and the current programmed time
enter the new time in 24 hour format
press feature "00" to logout

Yes you can get stand alone caller ID units, they simply plug into the main line in phone jack. BTW, If you have a modem in your PC you can also then use it as a telephone "anything" Call center, answer-phone, voice-mail, and of course Caller ID. A lot of the software is freeware available on the 'net for download and install.

The "18-d" is the telephone set model. The Partner System control unit is where you will find the system battery. It is located in the Processor Module - usually 2 AA batteries.

The time and date is a system feature rather than an individual telephone feature. To change the date in the Legend Magix system, from the System Programming console: 1.- Press Menu 2.- Press System Program. 3.- Press Exit or Start. 4.- Press System. 5.- Press Date. 6.- Enter date in following format: mmddyy (where MM is the month, DD is the day, and YY is the year). 7.- Press Enter. 8.- Press Exit or Back. 9.- Press Home or Exit to exit programming mode. To change the time in the Legend Magix system, from the System Programming console: 1.- Press Menu. 2.- Press System Program. 3.- Press Exit or Start 4.- Press System. 5.- Press Time. 6.- Enter the time in military/24 hour format: HH:MM (where HH is the hour, 01-24, and MM is minutes, 00-60). 7.- Press Enter. 8.- Press Exit or Back. 9.- Press Home or Exit to exit programming mode.

On one of those phones, press "feature 59" That will display the release of the processor. It might be that your processor is not CID capable.

From the phone at extension 10 or 11 press FEATURE 00 Left Intercom Left Intercom #103 and enter the 4 digit military time. (if you need it, the date is #101 in mmddyy format).

I know this was posted 2 years ago, but I'll try to answer the questions anyway.

1) By itself, the AT&T 960 telephone does not have the ability to forward calls. That would be a function of your service provider (or in this case the PBX that it is connected to).

2) How to forward calls varies from PBX to PBX. You would need to speak with someone who administers the telephone system.
