Subject: [asterisk-users] Caller ID
We do not get caller ID (name) on our telco lines.
However we have a few single line extensions with consumer type handsets
that ring at odd hours with "Asterisk" before the phone is picked up,
and
"Out of Area" after it is picked up.
I have read that "Asterisk" is what is reported by Asterisk for 0
length
caller ID number.
But since we don't subscribe to Caller ID Name, I am wondering where the
"Out of Area" is coming from?
Could these be hacking attempts via IP? Perhaps they are doing the caller
ID name? It only happens to a few extensions as far a we know.
TIA for any input or knowledge.
IP Hacking "should not" apply on your Telco lines. I'd start with
your CDR
file (/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv) and go from there.
