Hi folks,
I have a rather nasty problem. I have set up an asterisk test system with a Cisco phone, a X-Lite client and so on and did some testing.
To the developers: great work! Hell of great!
However, it seems to me like asterisk puts the Caller ID Number into the SIP Display Name and Called ID into the Caller ID Number. That is kinda ugly because one cannot use e.g. the missed-calls-function of the clients because - at least the Cisco phones - can only dial back to the stored Caller ID Number... Which is the Called ID...
This becomes REALLY ugly if the caller also has a SIP client and has put his real name into Display Name (as supposed by most clients) and his number into the UID/Number field. Then I will find something like
Stefan Gofferje 6000
in the missed-calls-list of my extension 6000 client...
Is there any chance to get asterisk to put numbers as they were supposed to be?
I don't know about other people, but I never bother to set the Caller*ID info on the phones. I like to override whatever the phone is sending as the information by using callerid= option in zapata.conf, sip.conf, iax.conf, etc. i.e. callerid=Robert Dobbs <6668> (notoce the lack of quotes, Cisco gets REALLY upset if there are quotes in the CallerID name.)
