AT#CID Caller ID

The #CID command allows the user can set up the modem to display the number of all inbound calls and selectively answer or not answer the call depending on whether the caller is known. The modem can also be programmed to play a unique ‘tune’ if the caller is known.

When enabled a message will be inserted between the 1st and 2nd RING responses from the modem.

The message will be in the form:

 

DATE = mmdd

where mm is the month number (01 to 12) and dd is the

 

day number (01-31)

TIME = hhmm

where hh is the hour number (00 to 23) and mm is the

 

minute number (00-59)

NMBR = nnn...nnn

where nnn...nnn is the calling number. If the number is

 

private the number is reported as ‘P’ if the network was

 

unable to supply the number the number is reported as

 

‘O’

NAME = ttt...ttt

where ttt...ttt is the name of the caller, if supplied by the

 

network or if saved in the security database.

 

This format is compatible with standard Rockwell

 

modem responses.

 

If the extended response option is selected (AT#CID3)

 

the following messages are also available:

REASON NO NAME=<message>where message is ‘Out Of Area’ or ‘Private’ is displayed if the network does not provide a name

QUAL = Long Distance

is displayed if the call is long distance

REDIRECT = <message>

where message can be ‘Call Forward’ or ‘Call Forward:

 

First Number Busy’ or ‘Call Forward: First Number

 

Didn’t Answer’ if the call has been re-directed from

 

another number.

LOOKUP NAME = ttt..ttt

where ttt...ttt is the name looked up by the modem in its

 

security database.

CALLBACK NMBR = nnn nnn where nnn...nnn is the phone number to use to ring the

 

caller back (which may be different from the number he

 

dialed in on)

The modem also supports the following commands:

AT#CID?

Which returns the current setting of the #CID command

AT#CID=?

Which returns the available settings of the #CID

 

command (0,1,2,3)
