Hello All,
My Asterisk is configured like a Soft Switch, I have many incoming
and outgoing traffic to different providers.
How can I forward CallerID to my providers. My providers are
complaining big time as the CallerID is set to Zero...
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Neal
In your provider's outgoing context, add the following before calling
out:
exten => _X.,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERNAME})
Why would he want to do that? It's pointless. It won't work. If the
provider is not getting Caller*ID then no amount of the above lines
will fix it.
You want to set the callerid using callerid=Robert Dobbs <666> in the
sip.conf, zaptel.conf, iax.conf, or whereever the calling device is
configured. You'll notice the lack of quotes. That's deliberate.
Ok, so? That's an 'If" alright. I'm not an oracle. He didn't give us any
examples of what he wanted. I just grabbed the first thing I saw in my
extensions.conf and pasted it.
Granted, that wasn't very bright, but the answer he needs might not even
be what we think. He did mention incoming and outgoing, so my example
could be wholly wrong.
But so could yours. He might not be able, (or might not want), to
statically assign callerid.
How do we know he doesn't actually need to do exten =>
_011.,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=(${EXTEN}) ?
My point is that CALLERID(number) is ALWAYS the same as ${CALLERIDNUM}
so setting one to the other is pointless. It's like setting 2=2. Same
with the CallerIDName stuff.
