[asterisk-users] CID Issues

[mail-lists]

Hello,

I've posted this at the trixbox and freepbx forums and haven't been able 
to get an answer. I thought perhaps the guru's here might be able to 
help me out :)

I'm having some issues with setting caller IDs. There are 2 problems 
that I would like to solve.

1. I have a DID pointing to a ring group. The only 'extension' in that 
ring group is an external number (cell phone). So essentially the DID 
fwds to a cell phone. The problem is that the CID that shows up on the 
Cell phone is the number that's set on the outgoing trunk the the 
CALLERS #. Is there a simple way to override this? Or better yet, is 
there a prefered method for forwarding calls out with freePBX?


2. I have sevaral trixbox installs connected through DUNDI. The DUNDI 
works very well.. I can call local extensions from every PBX. The PBX's 
are connected via an IAX trunk. In freePBX I've created a custom trunk 
that accepts a 4 digit extension and puts the call into a 'trydundi' 
context. The problem I'm having is that whenever someone calls from an 
extension at one location to an extension at another location the 
CallerID that shows up at the other location is the one set either in #1 
The custom trunk, or #2 in the 'Outbound CID' field in the users screen. 
What I WANT this to be set to is the Name of the extension ie. just like 
local calls are. Is there a way to do this painlessly. Is it possible to 
hook dundi into a different context so that it would think all calls are 
local.. I'm kinda guessing here.


Sorry about the length of these descriptions and thanks for any advice!
