Hallo! Finally we have E1 PRI connected to our Asterisk box. Now I have one question. My internal extensions (_XXX) are SIP phones connected to Asterisk. Our telco routes some public numbers (_71602XX and others) to our Asterisk via E1. Some internal extensions can be reached from outside using public numbers (e.g. 7160234 -> 200), and some others cannot. Everyone can call outside numbers from our network. How can I set caller id to something meaningful when they are calling outside? For example, 201 -> 7160201, 202 -> 3678685, etc. If I send incorrect caller id, my telco overrides it to first number from my block (7160200). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

[Asterisk-Users] Set caller ID for outgoing PRI calls
It seems it's 'normal' behaviour since I heard exactly the same thing happening in Croatia. If caller id is set to some number, telco overrides it to first caller id.. (even if that number belongs to your block (right?)) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dmitry Ivanov Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 2:19 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Set caller ID for outgoing PRI calls Hallo!

Because, sometimes you have an office suite style configuration where you want to push out an 800 # because they get cheaper rates going out the PRI than their other circuit or because you are in the process of porting a # and don't want to confuse people who pick up the phone (and you still want your clients normal phone # to show up) or simply for redundancy reasons - pushing out a call over the 2nd PRI if the first one is full (which may be at a different carrier for redundancy). Another big issue is call forwarding - call comes in the PRI from my cell 301-748-xxxx and enters my Asterisk box where it gets forwarded out to say my home phone. Well, Asterisk sets the caller ID to 301-748-xxxx but the telco drops it so it shows up at my home phone as the first number of the DID block. How do I know who is calling then? I don't! We just enabled "call redirection" feature that our upstream offers but it's not activated yet - but according to them this will fix that problem. As simple as the concept is to most people, I found that explaining the call forwarding issue usually gets the carrier to understand what we want accomplished. Then again, I don't know if that will work yet. :) Bill -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Tomislav Vojvodic Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 8:34 AM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Set caller ID for outgoing PRI calls umm i don't understand anymore ..you have one block of numbers - E1 / PRI and you want to assign number that is not in your block? Why do you want to do that? You have 'external numbers' which you can route to your local extensions and you can set caller id to number from e1-block when someone is calling outside, right? Now what? :) If you have some additional interfaces, for example, 2 BRI with n numbers -you can't mix numbers from different interfaces. You could ask your telco about that.. but.. hm... Is that what you were asking? -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dmitry Ivanov Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 3:03 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Set caller ID for outgoing PRI calls On Tuesday 28 March 2006 15:40, Tomislav Vojvodic wrote:> It seems it's 'normal' behaviour since I heard exactly the same thing > happening in Croatia.

This is why I wish to set caller id myself when originating calls from office extensions. _______________________________________________ --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

[Asterisk-Users] Set caller ID for outgoing PRI calls
Dmitry, it seems to me that just in the definition of the extension, (Outbond CID - thru the AMP) you just define the CID of that extension. be carefull to give the proper CID, within your block, to that extension. good luck, Mickey On 3/29/06, Dmitry Ivanov <dimss@telecentrs.lv> wrote:> > On Tuesday 28 March 2006 16:33, Tomislav Vojvodic wrote: > > Is that what you were asking? > > My question is: how can I set specific caller id for outgoing PRI calls? > > > _______________________________________________ > --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 > > > >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
