<pre>After playing around with the CALLERID(number) and
CALLERID(name) variables and things, I find that asterisk is sending
the "name" to my phone and the name is "unknown". I added a line
exten => _X.,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERIDNUM}) and now it shows
the number. Is this the right way to do this?

Check your logs, make sure you are waiting long enough before sending
the call to the polycom.
Uf asterisk sees the CID, it should send it and it should show up on the
polycom.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] CallerID not passing through to Polycom 500
I have a basic system working, except for callerid. The Polycom 500 just
shows call from "Business Line" on the screen. "Business Line" is the
name of the context that line is in. How do I get it to show the
callerID on the screen instead? Yes, I have CallerID on that line and it
works on a standard analog phone.</pre>
