asterisk users - Feb 2004 - Caller-ID is being sent wrong. How to fix it?

I'm running Asterisk 0.5.0 and using Cisco 7960 phones in a "sip
only"
configuration currently.  Everything is working except that caller ID is hosed.

Say for example extension 100 calls extension 200.  200 sees "100" as
the
name but "200" as the number.  IE, it gets its own number as the
supposed
CLID of the calling party.

This is flat out wrong.  Am I doing something wrong or is Asterisk just 
terribly broken with respect to sending caller ID information properly?

Is this something that only effects Cisco phones?

Thanks,

John

u probably should upgrade to 0.7.2 but as far as the caller id that
would be from your sip.conf being set improperly  add to your sip.conf
callerid="Caller Name" <#> for each sip entry and that should
clear it
up.

Also, it is the same syntax for the SetCallerID() application.

The way you had it:

callerid = 200

Sets the string portion to "200" and leaves the number portion null.

The null number portion is what is causing you trouble.
