TO RUN CIM SUCCESSFULLY, YOU NEED SOME HARDWARE:

• An Amiga with Kickstart/Workbench 2.1 (not tested), 3.0 or better strongly recommended. (Old versions (V1.337 and older) may run under WB V1.3 with arp.library in LIBS:)
  
• A hard drive, CIM uses direct disk accesses to find the caller data
• MC680X0 microprocessor
• 3 Mb of free memory (Old versions may also barely run on Amigas with 2 Mb RAM)
• A modem supporting Caller ID (CID) such as PowerBit, Telia, Supra with CID ROM, Hayes, Pace, Intertex (V.34 with ROM V1.13A or better).
  
  

IS MY MODEM SUITABLE?

As a rough rule, example Intertex and other European modems should work in Europe (Except in Great Britain, which has it's own CallerId-system, at least new Pace-modems should work there), Supra and other US-made in (Norhern) America and so on. Contact your local phone company and refer your modems manual for further details.

To test if your modem has the CallerId support: Type each of the following strings in a terminal program (like Term) followed by 'Enter' until your modem responds with an "OK".

Command	Comments
AT#CID=1	Used in U.S.Robotics, Texas Instruments, Rockwell compatible modems (excluding software modems and Rockwell HCF), Hayes, several Pace modems, PowerBit, Intertex, Telia, GVC, PCTel, IDC (VR series) devices, Diamond Supra (Rockwell compatible)
AT+VCID=1 or AT+FCLASS=8;+VCID=1	All IS-101 modems, Lucent LT, Rockwell HCF (V.90 or K56FLEX, e.g. PCI modems from Creative), some Pace modems (IS-101 compatible), MultiTech, IDC, Cirrus Logic, most of IDC modems
AT#CLS=8#CID=1	Caller ID in voice mode, met in some 56K U.S.Robotics modems, some Rockwell compatible (Boca Research, Cardinal, voice Zoom)
AT#CC1	Older non-voice Aspen modems, older Cirrus Logic, Motorola Voice Surfer, Phoebe
AT*ID1	Lot of Motorola devices
AT%CCID=1 or AT%CCID=3	Practical Peripherals modems
ATS40.2=1 ATS41.6=1 ATS42.2=1	All ZyXEL modems

If you get an "ERROR" response, that means that this is not the string for your modem and you should try the next one.



Once you get the "OK" response from your modem dosen't mean the CID feature will work in your country because there are different variations of CallerId data transfer:

Variation (Version)	Used in
DTMF	some European countries: Finland, Denmark, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Sweden, Iceland the Netherlands etc. Supported by some Intertex/PowerBit modems
Bellcore	USA, Canada, Australia, and some other countries
British Telecom, ETSI, CCA	United Kingdom
Russian ANI	Russia, some other European countries

Ask someone to call you and watch the result. If Caller ID is working correctly, you will see RING on the terminal screen followed by one or more additional lines of data. Its advised to store the correct settings after found. Usually its done with command 'AT&W'. Remember to verify CID settings after every firmware upgrade.

CallSign /Distinctive Ring may also require a special CallSign support in your modem. Intertex (PowerBit, Telia) owners: Distinctive Ring is enabled with command: 'AT-SDR=7'.

CIM has been developed and tested on the following platforms:

• Amiga 4000/040 25 Mhz, 18 MB ram, AOS 3.0 (Kick & Wb), Intertex 28.8 V.34 external modem (ROM V1.13A->)
  
  
• Amiga 4000/060 50 MHz + 604e 180 Mhz (Cyberstorm PPC from phase 5), 64 MB RAM, AOS 3.0, 3.1 (Kick 3.0) and 3.5 (Kick 3.1), rbm's IOBlix io-card, Intertex IX56 Extended external modem
