2-42 Reference Guide

 

Note: If the actual calling number and entered calling number do

 

not have the same number of digits, CNA can still match the

 

numbers. The smaller number determines how many digits must

 

match. For instance, if the actual calling number is 10 digits and

 

the entered calling number is 7 digits, only 7 digits must be

 

matched. The 7 digits that must be matched in this example are

 

the last 7 digits of each calling number. In this example then, the

 

first 3 digits of the actual calling number will be ignored. This

 

method allows the actual calling number to include prefixes and

 

area codes without requiring the entered calling number to

 

include them.

 

Calling numbers can also be matched using the wildcard

 

character, ?, which will match any digit. For example, if you enter

 

555-123?in the Calling Number field, the following actual calling

 

numbers will be matched: 555-1231, 555-1232, 555-1233,

 

555-1234, 555-1235, 555-1236, 555-1237, 555-1238,

 

555-1239, and 555-1230.

 

Using CNA can also provide cost savings because calls are not

 

billed during the CNA phase. With CNA, a caller can set up a

 

connection to the Netopia Router without incurring any charges by

 

accessing a dial-back connection profile. If the caller’s rates are

 

higher than those charged to the Netopia Router’s return call,

 

then using CNA has saved the difference.

 

CNA should be available where CallerID services are available.

 

You will need to consult with your telephone service provider to

 

find out if your line is provisioned for CallerID.

 

Also note that if the calling side has instructed the phone

 

company to block delivery of its caller ID, the answering side will

 

not be able to authenticate.

North America models

If you have a Northern Telecom DMS-100 line (either Custom or

only

NI-1) you should verify that the line supports “Calling Number

 

Delivery" service.

 

If your line is an AT&T 5ESS (either custom or NI-1) verify that it

 

supports "CPN/BN (Calling Party Number/Billing Number)

 

Delivery" service.

 

If your line does not support the appropriate service, CNA may

 

not work properly.
