CALLER IDENTIFICATION
The iDCS 100 supports three methods of identifying an incoming caller depend-
ing on the circuit type as described below.
AUTOMATIC NUMBER IDENTIFICATION (ANI)
On a digital T1 trunk programmed as E&M trunks calling party information is called
ANI. This information is the telephone number of the calling party and is sent as in-
band DTMF digits during the call setup. Care should be taken to ensure the system
has sufficient DTMF receiver resources to handle the expected volume of call traf-
fic. Although ANI provides the number only, a name can be attached to the tele-
phone number of frequent callers via the CID/ANI translation table.
CALLER ID
On an analog, loop start CO line, calling party information is called Caller ID and is
available from the telephone company in two formats, Number only and Name
and Number, sometimes called Deluxe. The iDCS 100 is compatible with both
formats. Even if the telephone company only offers the number only, a name can
be attached to the telephone number of frequent callers via the CID/ANI translation
table.
CALLING LINE IDENTIFICATION (CLI)
On ISDN circuits, calling party information is called CLI and is supported on both
BRI and PRI type circuits as described below.
BRI On BRI circuits the iDCS 100 only supports Number delivery and, like ANI, a
name can be attached to the telephone number of frequent callers via the CID/ANI
translation table.
PRI On 5ESS and NI2 PRI circuits both name and number support is provided
on the iDCS 100 system. On a DMS100 circuit only Number service is provided.

The following features apply to all forms of Caller Identification, however, to make
them easier to read caller identification is referred to as Caller ID.

to view the other pieces of information.
