[asterisk-users] The o dial option

2009-09-14 Thread John A. Sullivan III
Hello, all.  I see there is an o option for the Dial() command which
reverts to the previous behavior of using the original callerid
throughout the call - I suppose more specifically, using the callerid
from leg 1 for leg 2 in B2BUA if I understand it correctly.

That seems to be highly desirable behavior; I know we are seeing some
problems with call history and call forwarding because of the default
use of callerid.  However I'm assuming it was changed to the current
behavior for a good reason.  Before we revert to the old behavior, I'd
like to ask, why was it changed? What problems arose from the old
behavior that provoked the change? Thanks - John

Hello,

This changed years ago, and originally it was the 'p' dial option(for
preserve CallerID). The reason we are told for the change was for
calls being transferred within a company that originated on outside
lines, so that you would know who the transfer was coming from.  I
didn't understand it either, but there it is.
