[asterisk-users] Caller ID Question

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

Are you calling the other phones by URL or through asterisk?  if your 
phone is registered to asterisk, and you ask to dial a number, it will 
connect through asterisk to another registered phone.  If you ask to 
dial a url from the polycoms, i.e. sip:user at host, then it will connect 
directly to the other SIP UA, skipping asterisk entirely.  This is 
typically when you see the URL on the screen of the receiving phone. 

Am I clear?  Sorry if I'm not.
