asterisk users - Oct 2005 - Incoming CallerID Name display

I'm running a T1 between Asterisk and a Nortel Meridian Option 61c. When I
call from Asterisk to the Nortel system, it displays both the name and
number of my SIP phone. When I call from the Nortel system to Asterisk, I
only get CallerID number. Set-to-set calls on the Nortel system display both
name and number.

Is it possible to get CallerID name from a Nortel switch? I'm running Lucent
5ESS emulation with ND2 signaling.

Andy.

I have a Norstar MICS and was unable to find a way to make it send out the
name as well as the number.
Workaround: Have each handset have it's own OLI, and then use Asterisk's
LookupupCIDName, or use a macro to do the lookups in the realtime voicemail
db and use SetCIDName.
