7

DESCRIPTION

9       The ncidd.alias file contains the alias information for ncidd, the NCID
10       Server.  It contains the aliases for Caller ID names and  numbers.   It
11       also contains the aliases for telephone line identifiers.
12
13       The ncidd.alias file understands 3 types of lines:
14
15       blank line: ignored
16
17       comment line, beginning with '#': ignored
18
19       alias line: processed
20           alias [NMBR|NAME] ["]FROM["] = ["]TO["] [if ["]VALUE["]]
21           alias [LINE] ["]FROM["] = ["]TO["
22                where  NMBR, NAME or LINE is a KEYWORD
23                       FROM is a CID string:
24                            can be a '*' (match everything) when using if
25                       TO is the alias for the FROM string
26                       VALUE is a NAME if KEYWORD = NMBR
27                       VALUE is a NMBR if KEYWORD = NAME
28                             can contain a '^' (partial match from beginning)
29                       VALUE is a LINE if KEYWORD = LINE

EXAMPLES

32       Change OUT-OF-AREA to UNAVAILABLE in both name and number fields:
33            alias OUT-OF-AREA = UNAVAILABLE
34
35       Change OUT-OF-AREA to UNAVAILABLE in the name field only:
36            alias NAME OUT-OF-AREA = UNAVAILABLE
37
38       Change any name to a specific name for a phone number:
39            alias NAME * = "John on cell" if 4075551212
40
41       Change  any  name  to a specific name matching the beginning of a phone
42       number
43            alias NAME * = "Toll Free" if ^800
44
45       Mask a phone number:
46            alias NMBR 4075551212 = "----------"
47
48       The default line indicator for a POTS line is  "-".   The  ncid  client
49       will not display the "-" indicator.  To display 'POTS' for a POTS line:
50            alias LINE - = POTS
51
52       To  not  display  a  gateway  line  indicator,  change  it from the one
53       received a '-'.  If the line indicator is '1122':
54            alias LINE 1122 = -
55
56       Change any line indicator to VOIP.  Be careful to place  this  after  a
57       POTS line indicator if a POTS line is also present:
58            alias LINE * = VOIP
