6.7.2 Caller Identification Options
Caller identification settings available in this section allow users to set default, system‐wide policy for passing
caller ID to the PBX system integrated with VoiceGear SkyBridge. This policy can be overridden for each address
book contact or Skype account registered with the system.

For more details on available settings please refer to the table below.
Setting
Description
Default Caller ID
This setting allows selecting a default caller ID passed to the PBX system for incoming
calls. The default value for this setting is set as “Shortcut number” in which case the
system will pass a numeric address book shortcut for all incoming callers.
Default Caller Name
This setting allows selecting a default caller name passed to the PBX system for incoming
calls. Analog PBX systems do not support extended caller name values within the caller ID.
Default Caller Prefix
This setting allows users to add an alphanumeric prefix to any caller ID passed to the PBX
system. This setting can be used to distinguish incoming Skype calls from all other
incoming calls.
Please Note:
New SIP PBX systems are able to support alphanumeric characters in the caller ID, while older analog or
hybrid systems are not. Please refer to your PBX system configuration guide to determine whether your
system supports alphanumeric caller ID.
Please Note:
If your PBX system supports alphanumeric caller ID, it is possible to configure default caller prefix as “Skype”
and Default Caller ID to pass “Skype username”. In this case, an incoming caller ID shown on an office phone
will be shown as “Skype: incoming caller name”.
6.7.3 Skype Authorization Policy
Skype authorization policy settings allow setting the default system behavior for handling Skype authorization
requests sent to any of the registered Skype accounts. The system can be set to automatically grant an
authorization request allowing a remote Skype user to add one of the Skype accounts registered with the system
to their contact list. Alternatively, the system can be configured to deny such a request.
