Caller ID

The Global Carrier 56 has enhanced Caller ID functions integrated with its security system. 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.

Enabling the Caller ID Function

The user enables Caller ID by entering AT#CID1 (or AT#CID=1). It is off by default (AT#CID0).

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:
