Call Name Identification
Enable
Enables CNI function. Call Name Identification is not the same as Caller ID. When enabled on a given
VOIP unit currently being controlled by the MultiVOIP interface (the ‘home VOIP’), Call Name
Identification sends an identifier and status information to the administrator of the remote VOIP
involved in the call. The feature operates on a channel-by-channel basis (each channel can have a
separate identifier).
If the home VOIP is originating the call, only the Calling Party field is applicable. If the home VOIP
is receiving the call, then the Alerting Party, Busy Party, and Connected Party fields are the only
applicable fields (and any or all of these could be enabled for a given VOIP channel). The status
information confirms back to the originator that the home VOIP, is either busy, or ringing, or that the
intended call has been completed and is currently connected.
The identifier and status information are made available to the remote VOIP unit and appear in
the Caller ID field of its Statistics – Call Progress screen. (This is how MultiVOIP units handle CNI
messages; in other VOIP brands, H.450 may be implemented differently and then the message
presentation may vary.)
