[Asterisk-Users] CallerID not passing through to Polycom 500 (SOLVED, sort of)

Is this the right way to do this? ---------------- Check your logs, make sure you are waiting long enough before sending the call to the polycom. Uf asterisk sees the CID, it should send it and it should show up on the polycom.

The Polycom 500 just shows call from "Business Line" on the screen. "Business Line" is the name of the context that line is in. How do I get it to show the callerID on the screen instead? Yes, I have CallerID on that line and it works on a standard analog phone.</pre> </body> </html>

Is this the right way to do this?Nope, the correct method is probably to upgrade the firmware in your polycom phone. I recall one of the bugs fixed in 1.5.2 was to display CID name + number instead of name only... Regards, Adam
