27 The cideasy2ncid gateway sends Caller ID messages in a modified MDMF
28 format. Model-E and Model-F are supported. Model-E has two telephone
29 line inputs labeled A and B. Model-F has four telephone line inputs
30 labeled A, B, C and D.
31 The line identifier is set to CIDEASY-<port> (CIDEASY-A, CIDEASY-B,
33 etc). It can be aliased by the NCID server so you can give each phone
34 line a meaningful identification such as the last 4 digits of the
35 phone number. For example: 1234. You can even use the complete phone
36 number if you desire.
37 The configuration file for cideasy2ncid is /etc/ncid/cideasy2ncid.conf.
39 It may be located in same directory as the script, or in the etc direc‐
40 tory, or in NCID default configuration directory. Read the comments in
41 the config file for more details.
42 The -fIcideasy2ncid=fR device can run on any system, but normally it is
44 run on same box as the NCID server. If it is not run on the same box
45 as the NCID server, you must configure the server IP address in the
46 configuration file.
47
49 -C <filename> | --config <filename>
50 Configuration file.
51 Default: /etc/ncid/cideasy2ncid.conf
52 -D | --debug
54 Debug mode, cideasy2ncid stays attached to the terminal and dis‐
55 plays all messages that go into the log file.
56 -h | --help
58 Displays the help message and exits.
59 -H <0|1> | --hostname-flag <0|1>
61 When the hosthame flag is set to 1, the IDENT string sent to a
62 server will include the hostname with the program name.
63 Default: 1
64 -L <filename> | --logfile <filename>
66 Specifies the logfile name to use.
67 Default: /var/log/cideasy2ncid.log
68 -P <filename> | --pidfile <filename>
70 Specifies the pidfile name to write. Set to
71 /var/run/cideasy2ncid.pid in an rc or init script when used as a
72 service. The program will still run if it does not have permis‐
73 sion to write a pidfile. There is no default. If pidfile is
74 not set, no pid file will be used.
75 --test | -d
77 Test mode, cideasy2ncid stays attached to the terminal and no
78 connection is made to the server. Displays all messages that go
79 into the log file.
80 Test mode sets debug mode and verbose = 3. The verbose level can be
82 changed on the command line.
83 -v <1-9> | --verbose <1-9>
85 Verbose mode. Send information into the logfile and display in‐
86 formation for the -D option. Set a higher number for more in‐
87 formation.
88 To debug, try: verbose = 4 or 5
89 Default: 1
90 -V | --version
92 Displays the version then exits
93 --osx-launchd
95 This option is only for OSX when using launchd to control ncidd.
96 It prevents ncidd from entering daemon mode. It is like debug
97 mode, but nothing is printed to the screen.
