The global variables HOME_CIDNUM and HOME_CIDNAME need to be defined in your extensions.conf file, such as: -- snip -- [globals] HOME_CIDNUM=8005551212 HOME_CIDNAME=John Doe -- snip -- Or explicitly set the values in the CALLERID lines. > Also, while your reading... there is a longish pause from the time the phone > dials until asterisk dials.

Your delay is probably related to your dialplan as defined in your extensions.conf file. It takes some asterisk 'learning' to get the feel how extensions are matched and in what order. In your case, if you are using N digit extensions for speed dials, make sure that no other match has an ambiguity with that N digit extension. In my setup all speed dials begin with 10 or 11 which may not occur with a NANPA number, so there is never any ambiguity. Be sure to take a look at the free online PDF version of the book "Asterisk - The Future of Telephony" http://astbook.asteriskdocs.org/ And a lot of trial and error... :-) Lonnie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [email protected].
