Hello, I'm trying to fill CID data into the astdb using AsteriskWin32's asterisk.exe, to no avail: The batch file stops after the first line, and just waits: ---------------------------------------- rem c:\cygroot\mystuff>import.bat rem rem c:\cygroot\mystuff>C:\cygroot\bin\asterisk.exe -rx 'database put cidname 123 "My cellphone"' rem rem Asterisk module

I am using Sipura 841 phones and Asterisk CVS-v1-0-06/14/05. Whenever a call comes in with blank CIDName or CIDNum the phone reports the respective variable as "asterisk". I can manually set the variables to whatever I want: CIDName (alpha-numeric) & CIDNum (Numeric). But if I try to make them blank, or null, or maybe throw some alpha characters into CIDNum, they get reported

Hi All, I'm looking for a way to filter the AstDB cidname family to show only those entries with a specified area code in the Asterisk CLI. If this were a SQL database it would be something like: SELECT number, name FROM cidname WHERE number LIKE '1234%' I've tried "database show cidname 1234*" and substituted "%", "$", "-" for the wildcard

Admittedly this is probably pretty stupid of me, but there are just some things I can't understand by reading documentation. Any suggestions or recommendations about how to handle my problem are greatly appreciated. I'm trying to achieve the same functionality as my Nortel PBX, without rewriting much 'C' code. In my dialplan I'd like to compare two variables as a means of

Hi all, I tried to set the calleridname of an incoming call to get different incoming labels displayed for different incoming numbers. This does work for hidden number-calls so I can set the displayed CIDName on my cisco7960 from "CID withheld" to "abc CID withheld" If the incoming CID isn't hidden it works to use SetCallerID but not to change only the CIDName with

I'm having a problem with intermittent lookup of Caller ID Name info using LookupCIDName. The same problem occurs when doing: asterisk -rx "database show cidname" No data is returned on every fourth or fifth query. No errors are being logged. I'm currently running CVS-HEAD-07/07/04-17:04:31 and first noticed the problem a few weeks ago. Is anyone seeing a similar problem?

Hi All, I need to use partial matches on the CIDNAME family I have stored in AstDB. For example, an organisation might have several numbers with the same area code and the same first few digits: 1234 567890 1234 567889 1234 567824 ... I'd like to store these (e.g.) as CIDNAME/12345678* (where "*" is a wildcard) so that I can retrieve the organisation name from

Why Asterisk showing (on SCCP and H323 phones) different CID related to type of Incoming channel: If incoming channel is SIP, on phone is displayed CALLERIDNUM If incoming channel is ZAP, on phone is displayes CALLERIDNAME It vas very frustrating! I lost couple hours of my time to find that my dialplan is not faulty, but asterisk is!

Hello, I'm having an apparent issue where caller id name isn't coming through my IAX2 channels. The name shows up in the asterisk cdr log, but my IAX2 application doesn't receive it. I'm running asterisk 1.2.4. Is this a known problem or config issue? Thanks!

Hello, Sometimes, when a call comes in from the PSTN through our VoIP gateway, the information that is sent to our web page that logs calls includes the original CID name instead of the one that is we expect to be rewritten on the fly using Asterisk's LookupCIDName: ================= ;extensions.conf [internal] exten => group,1,LookupCIDName exten =>

Hi, I am setting up a hylafax server. From what I've read so far, hylafax supports CID numbers and names but currently does not support DID. I assume I can do something like this... [40faxDIDs] exten => _87[5-8]X,1,SetVar(CALLERIDNAME=${EXTEN}) exten => _87[5-8]X,2,Dial(Zap/g${hylafaxMODEMGROUP}) ...and use the CIDName variable in hylafax to route the faxes to the appropriate

hi. currently i am running the phonebook in astdb with *database put cidname 0123456789 "name_surname"* and i retrive it with *exten =>9876543210,1,Set(CALLERID(name)=${DB(cidname/${CALLERID(num)})})* Now, my system has mysql and i got all my contacts in there in a database is called *asterisk *and a table called *addressbook**. *password of the mysql is *whateverpasswd* how do i

I am trying to use the simple CID name management script on the wiki. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+tips+managing+CID+names I can not see what is wrong. The values never get entered in the database. Here are the files: I have asterisk running as the user asterisk also. ---cid-store.php---- <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Storing Asterisk CID data</TITLE> </HEAD>

It looks like asterisk isn't honoring EOF on stdin. file add-phonelist: database put cidname 200551234 "name 1" database put cidname 200551235 "name 2" database put cidname 200551236 "name 3" database put cidname 200551237 "name 4" asterisk -rn < add-phonelist What I see is an infinite stream of prompts as asterisk is banging onto the EOF. How

Hello When using LookupCIDName, Asterisk 1.4 says that it's deprecated, and we should use "${DB(cidname/${CALLERID(num)})}" instead, but I don't know how to use it: ;DEPRECATED exten => s,1,LookupCIDName ;ERROR exten => s,1,${DB(cidname/${CALLERID(num)})} I guess I should use this as a parameter to a function, but which one? Thank you.

Hi List I've a CID lookup hooked onto an inbound route (i m using trixbox) ...it runs well but it returns the value as "CIDNAME<CIDNUMBER>" ... if i just want to display the CIDNAME [leaving the quotes and <CIDNUMBER>] .. how can i do it ? do i have to edit some macro in extensions.conf ? rgds Sriram -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

I'm having a problem with the callerID that the polycom IP600 phones are displaying. I would like to modify the CIDName and leave CIDNumber as exactly what the phone call came in as(provided they aren't hiding callerID). Most of the calls will be going to the queue, but a few will go directly to the SIP phones. I've done a various combinations of using SetCallerID(),

Hello When a call comes in, I'd like to fork a Python script that broadcasts a message so that users see the CID name + number pop up on their computer screen, and simultaneously ring their phones. The following script doesn't work as planned: It waits until the script ends before moving on to the next step, which is Dial(): =========== exten =>

Hi Most of our customers have generic names like "Hospital", so I need to rewrite their caller ID name by looking up the number in a database on the Asterisk server, and rewriting the name such as "Reading Hospital" so that we know who's calling. Any idea if this can be done with Asterisk, and how to do it? Thank you.

Is there a protocol I'm supposed to use here? It seems that people are asking 100 questions a day and SOMEONE is helping them, and I've posted this three times and not even an "I Don't Know". My third repost: Ok, I've been trying to figure out why my A@H won't answer the lines when I can call out and the panel shows the call coming in - well something bizarre has
