caller ID
|
Telephone number of the caller on the remote end of a USB modem
connection, used to dial in and also to identify the caller. Multiple
caller IDs can be configured on a dialer interface. During dial-in,
the device matches the incoming call's caller ID against the caller
IDs configured on its dialer interfaces. Each dialer interface accepts
calls from only callers whose caller IDs are configured on it.
