Matrix ETERNITY NE - Calling Line Identification and Presentation (CLIP)

Matrix ETERNITY NE System Manual 461
Calling Line Identification and Presentation (CLIP)
What's this?
The ETERNITY provides the facility of detecting the caller's number and presenting it on the display of the called
extension phone. This feature is called Calling Line Identification and Presentation (CLIP).
The calling number can be presented on DKP and Extended IP Phones. The calling number can also be presented
on SLTs that support CLI protocols.
The signaling protocols for CLI supported by ETERNITY are: DTMF, FSK V.23, and FSK-Bellcore.
These protocols are supported on trunks as well as extensions. Any type of trunk line and supporting DTMF or FSK
signaling can be interfaced with the ETERNITY.
Similarly, any type of telephone instrument supporting DTMF or FSK signaling protocol can be connected to the
SLT port.
How it works
When CLIP is enabled on a trunk,
• ETERNITY senses the digits/codes sent by the network.
• It sends this information to the landing extension/Operator along with the ringing signal.
• In case of, Internal calls the calling extension's name and number both are presented to the called
extension.
• In the case of External calls, only the number will be displayed on the landing/Operator extension.
• When the landing extension/Operator transfers the incoming call to an extension, putting the external
caller on hold, the system sends this information to the extension to which the call is transferred.
• During the transfer, the number of the landing extension/Operator will be displayed on the transfer
destination extension.
• On successful call transfer, the caller's number will be displayed on the transfer destination extension.
In the case of Call Transfer, the system also provides the option of displaying to the transfer target extension either
the number of the Transferring Party or the number of the Party put on hold to be transferred, while the call is being
transferred. This feature is called Caller ID Presentation on Call Transfer.
It is also possible to remove and replace the '+' character received as CLI on telephones that do not support CLIP
starting with this character.
For example, the mobile network sends the calling party number with '+' as the prefix. If the telephone connected as
extension does not support this, it will not present the CLI of the caller. To overcome this, ETERNITY NE provides
you the option of replacing '+' with an appropriate number string which these telephones can display.
