[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream CallerID

[David Ishmael]

I forgot to ask, since the BT100 can't take characters (only numbers), I
would have assumed that there was a function to extract a number from an
incoming PSTN CID, is that possible?

Thanks again,
David

I did have fromuser set in my sip.conf so I went in and commented the line
out (thanks for the help on that).  This is what I have in my
extensions.conf file:

exten => s,1,SetCallerID(${CALLERID}) ; Set the caller ID
exten => s,2,Wait(2)
exten => s,3,Dial(SIP/1234,20,tr)  ; Dial our office SIP phone
exten => s,4,Hangup

That produces the full CID coming from the PSTN (Verizon) in the log
something like:

"Joe Somebody" <7035551212>

When I change the SetCallerID() function to:

exten => s,1,SetCallerID(1111111) ; Set the caller ID

It still doesn't send the CID to the phone (or if it does, the phone isn't
recognizing it).  Do I have my extensions.conf file setup wrong?  Is there
something special I need to do in the SIP phone configuration?  Here's the
SIP section of the /etc/asterisk/sip.conf:

[1234]
type=friend
context=sip
username=1234
secret=********
callerid=Office <1234>
host=dynamic
nat=no
canreinvite=yes
dtmfmode=inband
incominglimit=1
mailbox=1234 at default
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw

I noticed on the WiKi there's a function called SetCIDNum(), but that
doesn't do anything (or at least nothing I could see). I'm stumped on this
one.  Any advice is always welcomed.  :)

Thanks,
David

I'm having the same issue as David, and forcing the CallerID with 
SetCallerID() doesn't work - it still only shows the extension of the 
phone I'm calling. (Yes, I've checked the CDR and also done a show 
channel on the phone while ringing - the Caller ID is reset properly

I think I have the solution -- I had the fromuser= variable set, which 
is what Asterisk uses to force CallerID as when it's making calls out 
to the Grandstream.  Is that set, David?  If so, unset it, and you 
should be fine.
