ANI and EANI, Whats the difference?

[AlanS]

Good morning gents!

I am wondering whats the difference between ANI and EANI?

I setup an action url for when a trunk call is made. I am sending it [to, from, domain].

Since none of those show what actual ANI is used for the call, I made a call to /domains to get all the users. Then I find the user that made the call. I consoled the user and saw ani and eani. But since these are both arrays, which one is used for the primary ani?

Thanks!

EANI

Emergency Ani used for when dialling Emergency numbers.

 

Primary ANI depends on the one that is sent out from your trunk seen under the "Regular ANI" field.

So, even though ani is an array, ani[0] will always be what was used as the outbound ani?

The rules for what ANI to use are in https://doc.vodia.com/docs/trunk-ani in a nutshell unless you set something else up: yes. its an array because you can have different ANI depending on what trunk the call goes out.
