[Asterisk-Users] Quick Caller ID and Voicemail ?s

[Kyle Thomas]

I cannot help you with the .conf files on the * as I am brand new to the
* and in the process of compiling the software now. 

I do know this.. You have to make sure the the generic name IE
(information element ) is being populated in the outbound ISDN setup
message to Allegiance. If you have a protocol analyzer you could check
this , or maybe Allegiance an check this for you. At any rate, they
should get this parameter inbound from you ISDN and then pass this
parameter to the PSTN (most likely via ISUP). I would get with
Allegiance and make sure they are setup to pass CNAM to the PSTN with
you.

Or you can tell them what ANI/CPN you are sending and they probably
store with an SS7 provider , and they can update the SCP for the desired
name that you want for any ANI. There might be a cost for this...


This last option is the cleanest way to do it. I currently do this for
customer's that have PRI PBX's and sit on my switch with a T-1
