Caller Id - Diamond SupraExpress 56e Manual

If you plan to use your modem to run a Bulletin Board System (BBS), the BBS software should

to your BBS software manual or contact the BBS software publisher for details on how your modem
should be set.

Caller ID (Feature #142) is not available on all modem models. (The ATi10 command reports
which features your modem supports.)
What is Caller ID?
If you sign up for this service with your phone company, Caller ID allows you to find out who is
calling before you answer a telephone call. The phone company sends the following information in
between the first and the second rings of an incoming call. (This is why the ring count is off by one
ring.)
• the date and time of the call
• the phone number from which the call originated
• possibly a name associated with that phone number
The information displayed varies depending on your phone company and your software.
