Modems Examples
9-13
Define Ports Modem Answer Rings configures the number of rings, either 1 or 3, that the SCS will wait
for before answering the line. The telephone company sends Caller-ID information between the first and
second rings, so the SCS must be set to wait for 3 rings before answering in order for Caller-ID functionality
to work.
Figure 9-14: Setting Modem Ring Value for Caller-ID
Note: The modem init string must be modified to tell the modem to pass Caller-ID
information to the SCS. See Editing a Profile on page 9-3 for more information.
Finally, Show/Monitor/List Modem Status displays status information about modems connected to SCS
ports, including the most recently collected Caller-ID information. A sample modem status display is shown
in Figure 9-15.

Caller-ID information is also recorded by modem logging level 2 (see Set/Define Logging on page 12-174)
and sent to RADIUS servers (see Appendix D, Supported RADIUS Attributes).
