Hi,

As I wrote, the HiPath needs to be upgraded to version 3 (don't ask me any details, I'm not a Siemens expert) in order to have the CallerID name passed over the H.323 link. Earlier versions (my case) ony sends and accepts the CallerId number.

I have set up a workaround for calls coming to Asterisk: an AGI script sets the CallerID name according to their CallerID number by looking it up in a database. This is done in real time for every incoming call. Obviously it doesn't work for calls going from Asterisk to the HiPath.

Regards,

Silviu

Hi Silviu,

did you manage to get the callername to work? I have a comparable setup with a hipath System but I can´t get the callername to be displayed over the trunk. The callernumber works but not the name...

Any suggestion?

Thanks
Michael
