[Asterisk-Users] Looking for PRI Outbound Caller ID Configuration

[Shaun Tierney]

I'm having trouble setting the outbound caller ID on calls I make from my
PRI trunk group.  The PRIs are served out of a 5ESS.  Telco has set the PRIs
up for user provided caller id information, so I believe I just don't have
it set up right in my dialplan or something.  I can't seem to find an
example of setting the outbound caller ID specifically for a 5ESS.  Does
anyone have an example configuration that they have used with a 5ESS switch?
Below is the my configuration from Zapata.conf and a sample extension I've
tried to use to connect a call with new caller ID information provided by my
PBX.  Any insight is most appreciated.

priindication = outofband
usecallerid=yes
