Morning Asterikians,

I've just got my nice shiny quadBRI card, and it seems to be working very well - except for one little issue - CallerID.

The card is currently connected to an ISDN2e line in P2P mode, and an S0 adapter on our existing alcatel PBX.


Is this an omnipcx?

Jup, omnipcx 4400.



The S0 connection recieves callerID and displays it correctly - the 2e line doesn't, and BT have said that CLID was enabled on the line two days ago. Does anyone have any pointers on this?


I assume the callerid is also being displayed on the alcatel handsets?
or is this just callerid generated on internal calls?

The * box displays callerid in internal/external calls (the omnipcx is owned by a seperate company, we just didn't want to pay to call them (they're in the same building))


If it is then that should show the bt line is setup correctly.  I have
callerid working from a bt 2e line in ptp mode using zaphfc.  So
assuming the bri-stuff versions match the only difference would be the
quadbri card.  Not sure where that leads because I think/thought all the
callerid stuff would be handled by libpri from a q.931 SETUP message on
the d-channel and not be driver/card specific.

I could only get my s0 box to operate in ptmp mode, so there would be
change in the signalling line in zapata.conf, but then if you weren't
changing that nothing tends to work rather than just callerid.  I also
note that you have to match the msn assigned to the s0 when dialling out
through the omnipcx whereas bt doesn't seem to be as fussy, but again
nothing todo with callerid.

I had a slight configuration problem with the S0 adapter that resulted in nothing working, but that's all fixed now, you're right though, it's an all/nothing senario - either it all worked or none of it worked.


I've just been onto BT again, and it seems they did have CLIP on the line for a few minutes, but then they removed it again and put COLP on, which they then told me was the same as CLIP... monkeys :(

Wait... I take that back.. calling BT a bunch of monkeys is insulting to monkeys.

They then proceeded to tell me that I didn't need to purchase a "presentation number" service (that allows us to display our non-geographic numberto people with CLIP rather than our geographic one)... I could just tell my switch to send whatever callerID I wanted and it'd get displayed... BT ISDN2e - the phreakers delight :)


Thanks for all your help...
