[Asterisk-Users] Auto-assign CallerID for all my FXS Interfaces
As far as I can tell, in order to have caller ID show up for calls from other internal phones, I have to set the caller ID on each channel in zapata.conf. This is tedious, and redundant (since Asterisk knows which extension is making the call, and it could look up the name from the voicemail configuration--if the extension matched the mailbox). Is there a way to set the caller ID for these calls from the voicemail information so I don't have to duplicate all the names? Is there some variable or function that will return a voicemail name for an extension? Would this functionality be pretty trivial to implement? Also, the stutter dialtone mapping to mailboxes requires the same duplication. However, I can't see how Asterisk would know that a zap channel "belongs to" a single extension, so I can understand this requirement. -- Shaw Terwilliger <sterwill@sourcegear.com> SourceGear LLC -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

[Asterisk-Users] Auto-assign CallerID for all my FXS Interfaces
In an answer about the voicemail box extension, I have 3 different sipura boxes linked to the same voicemail account? Sipura 1 = Sipura 2000 - with line 1 being my home phone Sipura841 - Extension 2 = also my home phone Sipura 2 = Sipura 1001 = phone in the bedroom - being the home phone so i can pick up any one of the three and get the stutter tone and check voicemail. I have the seprate ones, becuase after hours (after 10pm) i dont want to ring the bedroom phone), etc.. $.02> As far as I can tell, in order to have caller ID show up for calls from > other > internal phones, I have to set the caller ID on each channel in > zapata.conf. > This is tedious, and redundant (since Asterisk knows which extension is > making the call, and it could look up the name from the voicemail > configuration--if the extension matched the mailbox). > > Is there a way to set the caller ID for these calls from the voicemail > information so I don't have to duplicate all the names?
