CALL COSTING
The iDCS 500 provides programmable call costing tables to calculate the cost of
incoming and outgoing calls. Rates are calculated by the number dialed, and may
include surcharges. Display keysets can be set to show the call duration timer or
the call cost. The SMDR report will show either the call duration or the call cost
depending on the station selection. One call handled by multiple callers will cost
each call segment separately.
CALLER IDENTIFICATION
The iDCS500 supports three methods of identifying an incoming caller depending
on the circuit type as described below.
AUTOMATIC NUMBER IDENTIFICATION (ANI)
On a digital T1 trunk programmed as E&M trunks calling party information is called
ANI. This information is the telephone number of the calling party and is sent as in-
band DTMF digits during the call setup. Care should be taken to ensure the system
has sufficient DTMF receiver resources to handle the expected volume of call traf-
fic. Although ANI provides the number only, a name can be attached to the tele-
phone number of frequent callers via the CID/ANI translation table.
CALLER ID
On an analog, loop start CO line, calling party information is called Caller ID and is
available from the telephone company in two formats, Number only and Name
and Number, sometimes called Deluxe. The iDCS 500 is compatible with both
formats. Even if the telephone company only offers the number only, a name can
be attached to the telephone number of frequent callers via the CID/ANI translation
table.
CALLING LINE IDENTIFICATION (CLI)
On ISDN circuits, calling party information is called CLI and is supported on both
BRI and PRI type circuits as described below.
BRI On BRI circuits the iDCS500 only supports Number delivery and, like ANI, a
name can be attached to the telephone number of frequent callers via the CID/ANI
translation table.
PRI On 5ESS and NI2 PRI circuits both name and number support is provided
on the iDCS500 system. On a DMS100 circuit only Number service is provided.
