asterisk users - Oct 2008 - mismatched callerid on phone and CDR ?

Hi,

Using asterisk 1.4.21.2.

For some calls (usally telemarketers) entering through a BRI zap channel
I somtimes notice the callerid on my polycom 601 phone and the CDR's
'src' field don't match. They are even totally different. And the
displayed callerid is nowhere to be seen in the CDR record.

Is there a rational explanation?

The ANI and CallerID do not necessarily have to match; they just generally
do.  The src field reflects the ANI, if set, with a fallback to CallerID
number, if not.
