WHAT IS ANI?
ANI (Automatic Number Identification) is a feature offered by some telephone
service providers that provides the calling party’s telephone number. This ser-
vice is only available on E&M Tie Lines on a T1, digital trunk. ANI is similar to
Caller Identification (CID) but the format and information of the calling person is
different. CID uses FSK signalling and ANI uses DTMF signalling. Usually, with
ANI, a calling party’s identity is the Listed Directory Number (LDN) unless a
separate bill-to-number has been specified, (in which case the bill-to-number
will be sent). Along with the ANI digits you also receive DNIS digits with a
separator digit. The DNIS digits are used to tell the SAMSUNG DCS where to
route the call. Note that ANI does not provide calling party NAME, only the
number. The DCS system can provide calling number to name translation table.

• With the handset on-hook, press TRSF and then dial 119.
