Re: [asterisk-users] Display Caller ID of called party
Quoting "Savoy, Kevin - Williston, ND" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Not sure if this can be done or not, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the Wiki. When dialing interoffice with Asterisk 1.4.2, I would like to have the caller id of the person I am dialing displayed and not the number I just dialed. Is this possible? So, if extension 4023 is John Doe, and I dial 4023, my display should read John Doe and not 4023. I am using a Polycom 501 by the way in case that matters. The polycom will display the name of the person you are calling if it receives it in the remote-party-ID. This is how it works with Broadworks.

This feature is often referred to as 'Called Party Identification'. There is a patch on the bug tracker that implements it for chan_sip and chan_skinny. > The solution to this is bound to be proprietary to the phone > in some way or another--if there is one.

SCCP endpoints support it, and in theory some H323 endpoints support it. > Of course, you COULD always set your dial plan in such a way > that it never actually completes the outbound call leg, but > instead hangs up, and then dials it, and rings you back (with > the caller ID of the intended "incoming" leg). The current patch in the bug tracker does require dialplan edits. Deeper changes would be required in Asterisk to allow it to lookup a called party to see if it was a local extension and use its caller-id for this.

On a Grandstream GXP-2000, this happens when the dialed number is in the XML phonebook that the phone sucks down from my provisioning server. It might work the same on the Polycom units. Of course, you need to have some process in place to keep the phonebook file up to date. To do it in a generic way where the name is looked up by * and sent back to your phone for display as part of the 100 Trying or 180 Ringing responses, is an entirely different matter. I suspect that the end-user experience would vary wildly based on the equipment each user was using. If this is possible, I'm sure people more knowledgeable than me will chirp in. The phonebook route might be the quickest bang for your buck though. If I recall from testing Polycom phones, you can have a central phonebook shared by all phones and a per-phone phonebook that is uploaded by the phone to your TFTP server so that even when re-provisioning from factory reset, nothing is lost. I didn't get far enough in the evaluation to set up a provisionin server of my own. The evaluation died in committee when an exec reported that she "didn't like the small buttons" on the IP430. -- j. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] Display Caller ID of called party
Kevin, It seems to me that what you are really talking about is manipulating the display features of the phone. Caller ID is unlikely to have this effect as the phone does not consider the From: URI in the SIP header unless the call is of an incoming nature. The solution to this is bound to be proprietary to the phone in some way or another--if there is one. I just wanted to point out that the mechanism for its delivery would almost certainly not be caller ID. Of course, you COULD always set your dial plan in such a way that it never actually completes the outbound call leg, but instead hangs up, and then dials it, and rings you back (with the caller ID of the intended "incoming" leg). -- Alex -- Alex Balashov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
