[asterisk-users] time/date over POTS?
I had a customer ask me about time/date information being sent to his analog (attached to a Linksys SPA2102) answering machine. I didn't know that POTS could carry this information. Is this something Asterisk could send over SIP? Cheers, j -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

It is up to the analog endpoint sending the caller ID stream to know the current time to send. Anything that works with SIP should also have NTP capabilities and should be getting its time using that. -Dave -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Sadly I know that the incoming calls from our PSTN provider (over RBS T1) do NOT carry caller ID, so what we are passing on via SIP to the Linksys box must also be missing the time info. Is there any way to add that to the outgoing call to the Linksys box? Cheers, j -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Time and date information is not included in SIP caller ID (to my knowledge). It's up to the SIP endpoint to know what time it is. Check the NTP settings on the sipura to make sure it is syncing its time with an internet time server. -Dave -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
