The available settings are as follows:
•
Baud rates: 300, 1200, 4800, 9600, 19200

Parity settings: None, Odd, Even
•
Data bits: 7 or 8

Configure ANI and ALI, field firmware upgrade
“WHERE ANI” changes where the phone number for an incoming call is received. There
first choice is Internal Caller ID, which gets the caller identification number from the
phone company directly on the phone line. This is the default setting and should be
used unless a different source supplies the DIR911 with a serial phone identification
stream.
The second choice is “Extract from serial ALI stream Port B”. Using this setting, the
DIR911 must be supplied with a standard 16 line x 32 column ALI data input. If this is
chosen, then the “SETUP ALI” key should be pressed. This allows the user to set the
line number, column where the phone number starts, and the length of the phone
number in the ALI data field (See SETUP ALI Screen below).
The third choice is “Extract from serial ANI stream Port C”. Using this setting, the
DIR911 must be supplied with a serial phone data input via serial port C. ANI is
supported via a serial port ONLY!!
