It is a Switchboard Server command, without a response payload.

It invites ("calls") a user to a Switchboard session.

# Client/Request
`CAL TrID user-handle`

Where `user-handle` is the user that you'd like to invite.

# Server/Response

Where `RINGING` is always `RINGING`, as there are no other states avaliable.

Where `session-id` is the Switchboard session identification number.
