[Asterisk-Users] Caller ID problem - SOLVED

[Oswaldo Arratia]

I did it and it worked. The problem was the national plan!
Thank you very much for your tip. 

For those who run into this, here is the configuration of the voice port in
a Cisco AS5300 series:

interface Serial2:23
 no ip address
 isdn switch-type primary-ni
 isdn incoming-voice modem
 isdn map address .......... plan isdn type national
 isdn T310 60000
 isdn send-alerting
 isdn negotiate-bchan
 no cdp enable

When we ran into this with certain carriers, it was because we were using
PRI NI-2 to our CLEC, but not setting the isdn numbering type to 'national'
(it was set to 'unknown' or something else.)

Apparently, some carriers look at that bit before deciding to accept/display
the CLID, some don't.

Try setting the following in your zaptel.conf:
  switchtype=national

and see if it makes any difference.
