Identification control makes use either of the name of the remote site or the caller ID. The caller ID is the telephone number of the caller, which with ISDN is usually transmitted to the remote site with the call.
The "Identifier" to be used to identify the caller is set in the following ways:
LANconfig:
WEBconfig: LCOS menu tree / Setup / WAN / Protect
The following options are available:
- All: Calls are accepted from any remote station.
- By number: Calls are only accepted from Calling Line Identification numbers (CLIP) that are entered in the number list.
- By approved number: Only calls from those remote stations whose Calling Line Identification number (CLIP) is entered in the peer list and whose number is found to be correct by the exchange.
Obviously, identification assumes that the caller transmits the corresponding information.
