[Asterisk-Users] Overriding Caller ID

[Jeremy Gault]

I may be wrong here, so if anyone else here knows contrary, please feel 
free to jump in and correct me.  ::dons his asbestos armor::

When we first deployed * we were coming from an analog channel bank 
setup (hooked into our old PBX as analog lines.)  I was able to connect 
* to the T1 and use E&M Wink signaling to make things work.  However, we 
couldn't control our caller ID.  The number that appeared would depend 
on which channel the call took.

Not long thereafter, we migrated to a PRI.  Once we were on the PRI, we 
were able to have control of the CID.

As far as I know, you can't control your outbound CID on a T1 setup the 
way yours is.  You probably need to switch to a PRI instead if you want 
this ability.  But again, that's based on my knowledge and experience, 
so I could be wrong.  If so, hopefully someone else here will clear it 
up for both of us.
