CLI
Calling Line Identification (CLI) is the telephone number of the remote caller in an incoming call scenario. This feature permits the recipient of an incoming call to determine, even before answering, the number from which the incoming call is being placed.
Dialled number
The dialled number is defined as the number that is dialled (in the case of an outbound call), or the DDI number that the remote party dialled to reach a particular extension or group (in the case of an inbound call).
Destination
The destination of a call specifies where the call terminated. The destination will display different information for each type of call:
| Call type | Information displayed |

| Incoming calls | The name of the user whose extension answered the call, or the extension number if not available; |
| Outgoing calls | The network or geographical location that was dialled, or an alias if defined in your contacts list; |
| Internal calls | The extension that was dialled, enclosed in square brackets [ ]. |
Destination ID
The ID of the destination called.
Feature call
A feature call is a special type of call that a user dials in order to obtain a specific PBX feature, such as voicemail enable/disable, group pick up, etc.
