asterisk users - May 2006 - RE: Asterisk-Users Digest, Vol 22, Issue 132

I haven't intentionally done anything to the CID, the odd thing is that
another aastra phone (480e) connected to the same port DOES display CID,
it's only these PT350s that can't seem to read it.. Been talking to
Aastra
support & they've suggested some avenues to explore, but none of them
have
worked... The PT350s definitely have a problem w/*'s cid signals.. Just not
sure where to look to track it down.

Thanks for your input! I'm still trying to get this darn issue sorted, as I
have boxes of these phones that I really want to deploy, but I need this CID
display for them to be usefull in our environment.

Thanks again!

Dan
