Subject: [asterisk-users] CID Issues
Hello,
I've posted this at the trixbox and freepbx forums and haven't been able
to get an answer. I thought perhaps the guru's here might be able to help
me out :)
I'm having some issues with setting caller IDs. There are 2 problems that
I would like to solve.
1. I have a DID pointing to a ring group. The only 'extension' in that
ring group is an external number (cell phone). So essentially the DID fwds
to a cell phone. The problem is that the CID that shows up on the Cell
phone is the number that's set on the outgoing trunk the the CALLERS #. Is
there a simple way to override this? Or better yet, is there a prefered
method for forwarding calls out with freePBX?
I dont mean to be harsh but learn the "real" asterisk. trixbox is a crutch
for asterisk. I have not used trixbox enough to know how they generate the
dialplan files to tell you how to mod them. One thing you can check is to
see if your VOIP provider allows you to set the caller ID at all. I know
some providers wont even let you change it.
2. I have sevaral trixbox installs connected through DUNDI. The DUNDI
works very well.. I can call local extensions from every PBX. The PBX's
are connected via an IAX trunk. In freePBX I've created a custom trunk
that accepts a 4 digit extension and puts the call into a 'trydundi'
context. The problem I'm having is that whenever someone calls from an
extension at one location to an extension at another location the CallerID
that shows up at the other location is the one set either in #1 The custom
trunk, or #2 in the 'Outbound CID' field in the users screen. What I WANT
this to be set to is the Name of the extension ie. just like local calls
are. Is there a way to do this painlessly. Is it possible to hook dundi
into a different context so that it would think all calls are local.. I'm
kinda guessing here.
Sorry about the length of these descriptions and thanks for any advice!
