For the voice feature you will need to update the firmware.

I have installed the firmware and also got the confirmation from the manufacturer that the modem supports caller id.

I am unable to type in the putty terminal, it does not accept anything that i try to type. But it is detecting the ring when i call the phone.

Can you please help me with entering the commands of activating the caller id in the putty terminal.

AT#CID=2
I used this command, after the second ring it says MESG=80080.

Is 80800 is the correct phone number?

@morshed1

Also ensure your telephone line supports Caller ID (double check with Telephone company)

That might be an issue related with this.

[napsterj]

80800 is not the correct number.

I just checked with the telephone company, they say that the service is enabled. In support to that, when a call comes to my telephone, it displays the number from which the call is coming.

The POS application says that access to port COM3 is denied.

[emre]

You have to close putty before running sambapos to free com3.

I’ve searched support manuals for you and found that +VCID=1 command enables caller id.
