Caller ID Overview
Caller ID (sometimes called CLID or ICLID for incoming call line identification) is an analog service offered by a central office (CO), which supplies calling party information to subscribers. Typically, the calling party number, and sometimes the name, appears on a station (also called extension) device such as a PC telephony software application screen or the display on a telephone. Type 1 caller ID provides the calling party information while the call is ringing, and Type 2 caller ID provides the additional convenience of calling number display while the recipient is on another call. In this release, Cisco provides only Type 1 caller ID support.
The caller ID feature supports the sending of calling party information from foreign exchange station (FXS) loop-start and ground-start ports into a caller ID equipped telephone device. The FXS port emulates the extension interface of a private-branch exchange (PBX) or the subscriber interface for a CO switch.
The caller ID feature supports receiving calling-party information at foreign exchange office (FXO) loop-start and ground-start ports. The FXO port emulates a connection to a telephone and allows connection to a PBX extension interface or (where regulations permit) a CO subscriber line.
The following are benefits of using caller ID:
•Enterprises—Caller ID is invaluable for increasing efficiency through its use in computer telephony integration (CTI) applications, where for example, calling party information can be used to retrieve client information from a database when a customer call is received.
•Service Provider—In traditional telephony, caller ID is a standard service that service provider customers expect. With the Cisco support for caller ID, service providers can offer the feature for packet-switched Voice over IP (VoIP), Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR), and Voice over ATM (VoATM) services.
Calling Name and Number
Figure 147 shows a hypothetical topology where users, indicated by telephone icons, receive different types of caller-ID support depending upon whether the caller-ID information from the caller passes through an FXO or FXS port before reaching the party who receives the call.
Figure 147 Caller ID and ANI Support
Table 59 shows how caller-ID information is received by the users in Figure 147 as follows:
•When an outbound caller-ID call is carried by a trunk with E&M or R2 signaling, the recipient sees only the ANI calling number of the caller.
•When caller-ID information is sent from an originating FXS station by way of the PSTN, the recipient sees only the identification of the FXO port through which the call is routed.
•When caller-ID information is sent from an originating station over a trunk with E&M or R2 signaling and through the PSTN, the recipient sees only the trunk identification because the ANI information is not preserved by the PSTN.

Call Time Display
When caller-ID information is sent, the local time set on the router is transmitted with the station name and number. If a call received on an FXO port is terminated on an FXS port, the calling time received on the FXO port is replaced by the local time while transmitting caller ID to the FXS port. This is also true for calls received from the network. The router should be configured to retrieve network time at boot up from an NTP server in order to maintain the correct local time setting.

Caller ID Configuration Task List
Voice-port configuration is the only special configuration required to support caller ID. To configure your voice network fully, use the reference information in the section "Caller ID Prerequisites Tasks" section to perform the following tasks on your routers:
•Configure your IP, ATM, or Frame Relay network to support real-time voice traffic.
•Configure voice cards for codec settings.
•Configure voice dial peers. Each dial peer defines the characteristics associated with a call leg.
The remainder of this section describes the steps required to configure caller ID on FXS and FXO voice ports.
Configuring Voice Ports to Support Caller ID
To configure voice ports to support caller ID, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
| |
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# voice-port slot/port
or
Router(config)# voice-port
slot-number/subunit-number/port
|
Enters voice-port configuration mode on a Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator. The slot number for analog voice ports on the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator is always 1. There is no port 0 for voice ports.
Enters voice-port configuration mode on a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-voiceport)# connection {plar | tie-line
| plar-opx} digits {trunk digits [answer-mode]}
|
Specifies the voice-port connection type and the destination telephone number. The keywords and arguments are as follows:
•plar—Specifies private line automatic ringdown.
•tie-line—Specifies a tie-line connection to a PBX.
•plar-opx—Specifies a PLAR off-premises extension (the local voice port provides a local response before the remote voice port receives an answer).
•trunk—Specifies a straight tie-line connection to a PBX.
•answer-mode—Indicates whether a trunk connection is specified. The router should not attempt to initiate a trunk connection, but should wait for an incoming call before establishing the trunk.
•digits—Specifies the destination telephone number.
|
Step 3
|
Router(config-voiceport)# voice confirmation-tone
|
Enables the two-beep confirmation tone that a caller hears when picking up the handset, if connection plar or connection plar-opx is configured.
|
Step 4
|
Router(config-voiceport)# dial-type {dtmf | pulse}
|
(For FXO ports only) Selects the appropriate dial type for out-dialing.
|
Step 5
|
Router(config-voiceport)# signal {loop-start |
ground-start}
|
Selects the appropriate signal type for this interface.
|
Step 6
|
Router(config-voiceport)# codec {g729r8 | g729ar8 |
g726r32 | g711alaw | g711ulaw}
|
(Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator only) Configures the voice-port compression mode. The g729ar8 value is the default and is recommended.
Note On Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers, codec configuration is performed on dial peers. On all supported routers, codec command options may vary depending upon the voice card settings.
|
Step 7
|
Router(config-voiceport)# cptone locale
|
Selects the appropriate voice call progress tone for this interface. Caller ID requires this setting. The caller ID standard (Bellcore/Telcordia, ETSI, ETSI-DTMF) is determined by this command.
On the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator, the default setting for locale is northamerica. On Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers, the default setting for locale is us.
See Table 60 for a list of options.
|
Step 8
|
Router(config-voiceport)# ring frequency {25 | 50}
|
(Required on Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers FXS ports only) Selects the appropriate ring frequency (in hertz) specific to the equipment attached to this voice port.
|
Step 9
|
Router(config-voiceport)# caller-id attenuation
attenuation
|
(Optional on FXO ports only) Specifies an attenuation other than the default of 14 dB (minus 14 dBm), enter a value of from 0 to 64, in decibels.
|
Step 10
|
Router(config-voiceport)# ring number number
|
(Required on Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers FXO ports only) Specifies the maximum number of rings to be detected before answering a call.
|
The following table lists the options that may be used for the locale variable with the cptone command.

Configuring FXS and FXO Voice Ports to Support Caller ID
To configure caller-ID on FXS and FXO voice ports, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
| |
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# caller-id enable
|
Enables caller ID. This command applies to FXS voice ports that send caller-ID information and to FXO ports that receive it. By default caller ID is disabled.
Note If the station-id or a caller-id alerting command is configured on the voice port, these automatically enable caller ID, and the caller-id enable command is not necessary.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-voiceport)# station-id name name
|
Configures the station name on FXS voice ports connected to user telephone sets. This sets the caller-ID information for on-net calls originated by the FXS port. You can also configure the station name on an FXO port of a router for which incoming Caller ID from the PSTN subscriber line is expected. In this case, if no caller-ID information is included on the incoming PSTN call, the call recipient receives the information configured on the FXO port instead. If the PSTN subscriber line does provide caller-ID information, this information is used and the configured station name is ignored.
The name argument is a character string of 1 to 15 characters identifying the station.
Note This command applies only to caller-ID calls, not Automatic Number Identification (ANI) calls. ANI supplies calling number identification only.
|
Step 3
|
Router(config-voiceport)# station-id number number
|
Configure the station number on FXS voice ports connected to user telephone sets. This sets the caller-ID information for on-net calls originated by the FXS port.
You can also configure the station number on an FXO port of a router for which incoming caller ID from the PSTN subscriber line is expected. In this case, if no caller-ID information is included on the incoming PSTN call, the call recipient receives the information configured on the FXO port instead. If the PSTN subscriber line does provide caller-ID information, this information is used and the configured station name is ignored.
If the caller-ID station number is not provided by either the incoming PSTN caller ID or by the station number configuration, the calling number included with the on-net routed call is determined by Cisco IOS software by using a reverse dial-peer search. In this case, the number is obtained by searching for a POTS dial-peer that refers to the voice-port and the destination-pattern number from that dial-peer is used.
number is a string of 1 to 15 characters identifying the station telephone or extension number.
|
Step 4
|
Router(config-voiceport)# caller-id block
|
(FXS ports only) When this command is configured at the originating end of a call, it requests that the originating calling party information not be displayed at the called party's telephone.
Note The calling party information is included in the routed on-net call, as this is often required for other purposes, such as billing and call blocking. The request to block display of the calling party information on terminating FXS ports will normally be accepted by Cisco routers, but no guarantee can be made regarding the treatment by other equipment.
This command affects all calls sent to an FXO station from the configured FXS station. The central office (CO) may supply a feature code that a user can dial in order to block caller-ID transmission on a call-by-call basis.
When a blocked-information call passes through an FXO interface on the way to its destination, the blocking is passed on to the receiving party.
|
To configure the alerting method, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode. Configuration of the alerting method is required when the caller ID standard, specified by locale through the cptone command, is other than Bellcore/Telcordia (if you do not configure the alerting method, the default caller-id alerting ring 1 command is applied). The command that you enter is determined by the Bellcore/Telcordia or ETSI standard that your service provider uses for caller ID. For more information about standards, see the Caller ID Prerequisites Tasks section.
| |
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# voice-port slot/port
Router(config)# voice-port
slot-number/subunit-number/port
|
Enters voice-port configuration mode on a Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator. The slot number for analog voice ports on the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator is always 1. There is no port 0 for voice ports.
Enters voice-port configuration mode on a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-voiceport)# caller-id
alerting ring {1 | 2}
|
Configure this command on FXO ports where caller ID information is received from a subscriber telephone line. and on FXS voice ports from which caller ID information is transmitted to an attached telephone device.
Compatible settings are required on both ends of the telephone line connection or caller ID information may not be displayed.
Enter 1 if your telephone line service provider or telephone device specifies it, to provide or expect caller ID information following the first ring at the receiving station. This is the default setting.
Enter 2 to provide or expect caller-ID information during the long ring pause following two short rings. This setting is used in Australia and the United Kingdom.
|
Step 3
|
Router(config-voiceport)# caller-id alerting
line-reversal
|
(FXS ports only) Configure this setting only when the attached telephone device requires line polarity reversal to signal the start of caller-ID information transmission.
|
Step 4
|
Router(config-voiceport)# caller-id alerting
dsp-pre-alloc
|
(FXO ports, only when caller-ID alerting line-reversal is required) Configure this command on the FXO port when the incoming subscriber telephone line uses line polarity reversal to signal the start of caller-ID information transmission.
The Cisco FXO interface cannot detect line-reversal alerting in the on-hook state. For this reason, DSPs must be pre-allocated to serve the Type 1 caller ID information when it arrives. Preallocating the DSPs enables the DSP to continuously monitor for the arrival of caller-ID information.
|
Step 5
|
Router(config-voiceport)# caller-id alerting pre-ring
|
(FXS ports only) Configure this setting only when the attached telephone device requires the pre-ring (immediate ring) method to signal the start of a caller ID information. The command activates a 250-ms pre-ring.
|
Verifying Caller ID on Voice Ports Configuration
To verify voice-port configuration, enter the show voice-port command. You can specify a voice port or view the status of all configured voice ports. In the following example, the specified Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator FXS port is configured with a Bellcore/Telcordia standard (cptone value is northamerica), a station name, and a station number. The caller-id alerting ring setting is 1.

Troubleshooting Tips
If you have caller-ID problems on telephones connected to FXS ports, the following tips may be helpful:
•Try a different brand of phone to confirm that the problem is not caused by a malfunctioning or incompatible caller ID telephone.
•Ensure that the cptone command is set correctly to reflect your locale.
•If the call time display is incorrect, check the router clock setting. An NTP network time server is recommended for accurate display of the local time.
•If expected information is not displayed, use the show call history command to make sure that the information that the router received during the call setup is complete.
•The line voltage available on FXS voice ports of the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator and Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers is -24V. Some phones, particularly those manufactured by Bell South, do not recognize -24V caller-ID signaling. On a Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator, use the idle-voltage high voice-port configuration command to boost the voltage on an FXS port.
If you have caller-ID display problems on FXO ports, the following tips may be helpful:
•Disconnect the router from the phone line and attach a caller-ID equipped telephone to verify that the CO is sending caller-ID information:
–Listen and watch to see when the caller-ID information is displayed: before the first ring, after the first ring, or after the second ring?
–Make sure that the router configuration matches the timing of the display. If the phone is answered during the first ring, does this cause the phone not to display the caller-ID information? If so, the CO may be sending the caller-ID information after the first ring, requiring a change to a caller-ID alerting setting. Make sure the router is not configured to answer the call on the FXO before the Caller ID-information is received. If needed, increase the number of rings required before answering.
•Use the show call history command to check the information received by the caller ID receiver.
The following debug commands may be useful for analyzing problems:
•debug vpm signal
•debug vtsp dsp
•debug vtsp session
Note Specific hardware is required to provide full support for the Caller ID features. To determine support for these features in your configuration, review the appropriate hardware documentation and data sheets. This information is available on Cisco.com.
