Configuring Caller-ID Settings

Overview

Configuring Caller-ID settings in PacketSky Voice SmartPBX allows you to customize the outbound caller ID name for each number within your phone system and enable the inbound caller ID name. This customization ensures that your business projects a professional appearance and that calls are easily identifiable by the recipients.

How it Works

  1. Accessing Caller-ID Settings:
    • Navigate to the PacketSky Voice SmartPBX dashboard.

  2. Selecting a Number:
    • From the list of numbers, select the number for which you want to configure the caller ID settings.
    • Click on the number to open the configuration options.
  3. Configuring Outbound Caller-ID Name:
    • Caller-ID Name (CNAM): Enter the name you want to display for outgoing calls. This could be your business name or a specific department name.
    • This ensures that recipients see the correct information when receiving calls from your business.
  4. Enabling Inbound Caller-ID Name:
    • Inbound Caller-ID Name: Enable this option to display the caller ID name for incoming calls.
    • This helps your team recognize who is calling, improving internal call management and response times.
  5. Saving and Applying Changes:
    • Save the changes to the caller ID settings.
    • Apply the configuration to ensure that all outbound and inbound calls use the updated caller ID information.

Benefits
