With a RBS(Robbed-bit) T1(in other words, not a PRI) the CallerID(Called ANI) is sent in the digits and come across in Asterisk as part of the extension. It is not standard, you do need to ask for it to be enabled and you usually have to specify how you want it.
A standard way of receiving ANI on a RBS T1 is this: *NXXNXXXXXX*DNIS where NXXNXXXXXX is the callerID and the DNIS is the last 4 digits of the number the caller dialed. There is no option of receiving callerIDname with RBS T1s but you do get that 24th channel to use for voice that you don't get with a PRI.

That's the difference with a PRI circuit--you get the caller name as well as caller number. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
