______ is a feature which automatically displays the telephone number of the caller and the address or location from where the call was made.

• A. Automatic Location Identification
• B. Automatic Number Identification
• C. Caller ID
• D. ANI

Answer: (A)

Automatic Location Identification provides the caller’s number along with the address or location from which the call originated. This is a part of enhanced 911 data used by dispatch to pinpoint where to respond, without the caller having to provide location. Automatic Number Identification and ANI focus on the dialing party’s number itself, not the fixed location. Caller ID shows the caller’s number (and sometimes name) but not the associated address. Therefore, the feature described is Automatic Location Identification.
