asterisk users - May 2003 - CalledID by channel difficulties

Ok, I want to be able to set a different callerid for each Zapata
channel.

-[zapata.conf]-

callerid=>"Reception" <0>
channel=>3
callerid=>"Batman" <2000>
channel=>4
callerid="Robin" <1001>
channel=>5
callerid="The Joker" <1002>
channel=>6

group=2
channel=3-6  ;TDM10B



Whenever I dial an extension, the callerid only shows the last defined
callerid (The Joker / 1002)

Why is this happening?

Move the group=2  above your other channel definitions, and remove the
channel=3-6 line. The resaon your getting just the last caller ID is
because you redefine the channels with only the last callerID.

The zapata.conf file is parsed from the top down, so Asterisk uses the 
value since the last channel keyword.

so Asterisk really only sees: 

callerid="The Joker" <1002>
group=2
channel=3-6 ;TDM10B

in your zapata.conf file
