[Asterisk-Users] chan_capi-cm 0.6.4 random outgoing MSN problem

[Armin Schindler]

There are three possibilities to set the CallingPartyNumber (own number for 
outgoing):

1) Set(CALLERID(number)=12345)
   before Dial()

2) Dial(CAPI/contr1/12345:${EXTEN}/....)

3) Dial(CAPI/contr1/${EXTEN}/d,...) and 'defaultcid=12345' in capi.conf
   with this defaultcid you can set a number for each interface in capi.conf
   and activate that by the /d option. This is useful when you combined more 
   than one interface into one group, but need to use a correct (and 
   different) number on dialout with e.g. 'g1', because the dialplan 
   doesn't know which interface will be used.
