similar to: sometimes CIDNUM shows, sometimes CIDNAME??? Why, why, why, why?

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

Previously, when I wanted to forward to incoming callerid when I forwarded a call to another number I had to set the callerid on the outgoing call to be that of the incoming number. So today I do this: exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERIDNAME}) because I want the outgoing callerid that I forward to not be the normal callerid of the local extension but I want to forward the incoming

Somebody must have! Please, send me a g723 and/or g729 (for Asterisk) to pisac@hotmail.com (antispam subject: codec) Thanks, thanks, thanks... :-)

If my extension is 22, and voice mail access number is 909, then with exten => 909,1,voicemailmain(s22) I can access voice mail 22, without number and password prompt. But, I want that every extension can access its voice mail without number and password. So, when I put exent => 909,1,voicemailmain(${calleridnum}) voicemail want only password. I want to eliminate password too, so when I

Is there a bug in Firefly (3rdparty) wherein it does not show caller ID? I am using SetCIDNum(12345) before I dial my firefly (IAX2) phone... no caller ID. CallerID is passed properly to other clients. -A.

hi all! I'm running an Asterisk-box with bristuff-....RC8n and 2 HFC-S cards. I m located in Vienna/Austria. I have the problem that on outgoing calls i hear my voice as a short echo (about half a second). This occurs not on every call. I tried some changes in my zapata.conf, with rxgain and txgain settings, but to me its hard to find a configuration which is good for every call i make. Is

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?

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!

Do somebody using CISCO AS5350 with Asterisk? Which protocol do you using: H323, MGCP, SIP? This direction: [12sp->Asterisk->h323->as5350->isdnPSTN] is ok But reverse: [isdnPSTN->as5350->h323->Asterisk->12sp] cannot hear 12sp, but 12sp hear PSTN (codec g711u) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm using sipgate.de as my sip provider. When I'm using xlite as client on sipgate.de, everything works fine: I call number, hear ringing (real progress tone form called party, not one generated in xlite) and then talking with called person. But, when I'm using Asterisk as sip client on sipgate.de, I don't hear progress tones: I hear only one (locally generated) ring tone, and

FreeCNAM.org is providing a free CNAM API for Open Source PBX users. This API queries a private CNAM database, and returns standard 15-Character CNAM results. Any entry not already in the database will be queued for investigation, and added to the database as soon as information is located. This system has access to several CNAM backends, and is not a party to any use-limiting or no-caching

Hi Folks, having an issue with outbound calls through a VOIP provider. Calls get sent out with the CallerID(number), but where does callerID(name) come from? Apparently not from provider, as we are seeing different (sometime missing) names on inbound calls, different than what we have configured. Apparently this comes from some telco database somewhere? Numbers were ported from a wired-telco.

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 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

Hello Instead of using PrivacyManager, I'd rather use my own dialplan to prompt the user for a ten-digit number if they called while blocking CID. This code does prompt the user, but 1) hangs up if the user didn't type the ten digits before the timeout 2) if the user did type the right number of digits, it still hangs up instead of Returning and then jumping forth to the "cid"

Hi Folks, I'm trying to send CallerID Name information out to the PSTN via a PRI with Bell Canada with no success. With inbound calls (originating from the PSTN) CNAM is received successfully, and we've not had any similar problems with other Telco PRIs, so I'm stumped.

Hi, Does anyone know of any projects that would allow you to use Redis in place of AstDB? By in place of I don't mean for what Asterisk needs but to store values. For instance for CNAM currently we need to use an AGI to connect to redis to pull CNAM. So in place of: Set(CALLERID(name)=${DB(CNAM/${CALLERID(num)})} it would be done with redis for example:

I'm using bristuffed Asterisk with ISDN/ZAPHFC I have VERY ugly (outgoing) sound through ISDN/HFC if echocancel=yes in zapata.conf, but without echocancel I have bad (incoming) echo Through PSTN/FXO sound is ok with or without echocancel. I tried other echo cancellers (in zconfig.h) two times: ECHO_CAN_KB1 (this was default) ECHO_CAN_MARK2 ECHO_CAN_MG2 after any change I compiled (make

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

Hello Guys, I'm somewhat of a newbie and am desperately seeking for some help... I've managed to get asterisk up and running on my server, and signed up with a broadvoice account... I'm having no problem dialing and communicating between extensions, but whenever anyone tries to call my broadvoice account, they are greeted by no ring or anything, but rather simply a direct to
