[asterisk-users] CallerID from POTS to SIP

[astuser at braingia.org]

Hello,

I'm having some trouble getting callerid to work through a distinctive ring 
line.  Specifically, I'm having a problem getting the callerid to pass from 
an AT&T POTS line connected to a TDM400P to SIP phones, both hard phones 
and soft phones.

What leads me to believe that it's a problem with the distinctive ring line 
is that I have another AT&T POTS line connected to the same asterisk 
instance, through the same TDM400P, and the callerid gets passed to those 
same SIP phones just fine for that line.

For both lines I can definitely see the callerid being reported correctly 
in /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/Master.csv.  It's just not getting passed 
through to the sip clients for the incoming line with distinctive ring.  
For those lines it shows up as "asterisk".

I'm using Asterisk from SVN due to a patch for distinctive ring, to make it 
work a little better with the inconsistent ring patterns sent by the telco.

In zapata.conf, I have these callerid options for the incoming channels:
hidecallerid=no
usecallerid=yes

I also added:
callerid=asreceived
sendcalleridafter=2

Within the context in extensions.conf, I have:
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/gxp3,20|o)

I'm confused as to why it works for the one line (without dring) and not 
for the line with it.  The distinctive ring is the only difference I can 
see between the lines but then I'm confused as to why the callerid is being 
logged correctly but not sent to the SIP phones, regardless of which line 
it's on.

Any help that anyone can provide is appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Steve
