[Asterisk-Users] Setting Caller ID after Dial

[Chris A. Icide]

What about setting and using Accountcode for each sip client?  It tracks 
separately than callerid in the cdr.

so in your sip.conf, add an

accountcode=

statement for each sip entry, and in the AccountCode field in the CDR, 
you'll have the correct entry needed to determine who made the call.
