asterisk users - Aug 2006 - Challenging problem regarding CallerID in TDM 04B (Trying to solve since 8 days)

Hi,

Here I am posting my problem. I am getting this problem since 8 days. I have
studied documentation and looked previous posts in forums. But, I am unable to
solve this problem. Please show me a solution. I am from India.

We have installed Asterisk with Digium 04B card (4 FXO ports). Now, I  have
connected my PSTN line directly to first port. I am making outgoing  calls and
receiving incoming calls successfully through my Asterisk. The  problem is: When
I am receiving a call from outside (PSTN-Eg. Mobile), I am not  getting the
callerid number of the caller and getting callerid as "Asterisk" in my
softphones (XLite).

Here I am giving my config files and error message. Please see it.

[internal]
exten => 105, 1,  Dial(SIP/105,15)

When somebody calls from outside (Eg: mobile), I am getting this below error
message on Asterisk console:

Error Message:
Aug  17 19:45:41 ERROR[10449]: callerid.c:276  callerid_feed: fsk_serie made

failed: Success
Aug  17 19:45:41 WARNING[10449]: chan_zap.c:6131  ss_thread: CallerID returned
with error on channel  'Zap/1-1'

Please tell me the solution. Looking forward to your kind response. 

Thank you.

Regards,
Chandra.

Do you actually _HAVE_ caller ID on that PSTN line?

A few things:
a. As El mentioned - did you actually subscribe for callerid? Most 
telcos will charge it as a VAS(Value Added Service).
b. Check the format of the Caller ID provided by your telco - bell,v23 
or dtmf?
c. Check when is Caller ID sent, in some places it's between 1st and 
2nd. Other between 2nd and 3rd. You need to Wait(?) as El suggested to 
wait for it to be sent.

Other things I see in your config:
a. Is there any reason you're using US tones instead of India?
b. Is your line really a kewlstart line? I think it should more likely 
be loopstart.
