asterisk users - May 2006 - chan_capi-cm and type of number problem (ToN)

Hi!

I have problems with the ToN configurations in chan_capi-cm. I 
understand how incoming calls are rewritten using national and 
international prefix. But for outgoing calls - what is the ToN?

Further, is there any debug info of the Ton? "capi debug" and the 
divactrl dchannel both show the CLI and CDLI, but do not show the ToN.

How can I set the ToN? I suspect chan_capi to use the received ToN also 
for outgoing calls when bridging calls. How can I verify this?

thanks
Klaus

I never really needed ton in TE mode, but when your card is in NT mode, 
setting the ton may be important.

The ton is a byte prepended to the callerid and can be seen when looking at 
the capi messages. On outgoing call when 'capi debug' is set, the
presentation and ton value is shown as well.

When using a newer Asterisk with cid_ton (I think 1.2.x has them), then 
chan-capi will set ton on incoming call and on outgoing call, this value is 
used as well. So it is bridged.
Since Asterisk does not provide (as far as I know) a possibility to change 
that cid_ton value, chan-capi will overwrite that value with the value in
variable ${CALLERTON}, if set.
When you use the latest chan-capi from trunk (HEAD version), you can use
'capi show channels' to see the ton as well.
