asterisk users - Dec 2006 - Settings CallerId for outgoing calls based on the sip account making them

Hi,

I have 10 DID numbers.
Calls coming from the PSTN network are routed correctly to the SIP users
based on the number that was called.

But when sip users call the PSTN network, the CallerID should be set
to correspondent with their DID number.

At the moment I can set the CallerID to a global number,
but I have no idea how to check who's making the call.

All sip users start in the context [internal]

Any ideas?

Thank you.

If your provider allows you to set your own CID you can try setting it in 
sip.conf. If not you can create a seperate context for each user and then 
have them use the diffrent DID's. Another option is too have diffrent 
pattern matches. For instance to use DID1 dial 1+number for DID2 dial 
2+number etc.
