[Asterisk-Users] Overriding Caller ID

[Waldo Rubinstein]

Hello list,

We have some kind of a problem with our Asterisk installation. We  
want to be able to publish different caller id when placing outbound  
calls through the PSTN. We have Asterisk with TE410P and T1 from FDN  
Communications. The problem is that all our outbound calls show our  
main number, regardless of what we set with SetCallerID, even using  
CallingPres with all possible combinations. When speaking with FDN,  
they say they have set their T1 to show our main number for outbound  
calls, but that we should be able to override that with no problem.

As I said, I have tried all possible combinations, yet, nothing seems  
to work. Below are snippets of some of our configs:

extensions.conf

;
; Local calls
;
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,CallingPres(32)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,2,SetCallerID(2125551234)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,3,Dial(${TRUNK_LO}/${EXTEN})

zapata.conf

[channels]
usecallerid=yes
cidsignalling=bell
cidstart=ring
hidecallerid=no
restrictcid=no
usecallingpres=yes
callerid=asreceived

switchtype = dms100
signalling = em_w
group = 1
context=inbound
callerid=asreceived
channel => 1-24

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Waldo
