Yes, they will fail. The P75's implementation of the relevant Bellcore
specs is incomplete and improperly done. I do hope they correct it soon as
CID can really be a valuable marketing tool for those who are aware of its
uses.
The reason your time is shown as it is, is because it's the default value
in your CID reader. The Pipe isn't passing anything in the date/time field.
Their implementation also does not differentiate between blocked and
unavailable CIDs.
These defects are crippling.
