[Asterisk-Users] Caller-ID via database lookup

[O'Connor, Jonathan]

I have my Definity attached to my Asterisk box with a PRI Trunk.  The
guides and seemingly most people say to use a tie type connection,
however I did not get correct caller-id and setup until I:

1) Set the trunk-group on the Definity to isdn
2) Carrier/Medium to PRI
3) Trunk group numbering format to Public

At this point I had to delete all the 23 ports from the trunk, busy it
out, change to the above, add the ports and release the trunk (a royal
pain).

My Asterisk box just uses:

loadzone        = us
defaultzone     = us
span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23 
dchan=24 



Once I had all of this done it was back to the Definity and into:

change isdn public-unknown-numbering

In mine, trunk group 4 is the Sprint PRIs used for normal calling.
Using 3742 as an example extension:

Ext Len	4
Ext Code	37
Trk Grp	4	
CPN Prefix	614791
Ext Len 	10

Therefore on trunk 4 it sends a caller id number of 6147913701

To make that send just 4 digits to Asterisk I added entries for:

Ext Len	4
Ext Code	37
Trk Grp	1	
CPN Prefix	
Ext Len 	4

And when 3742 calls an Asterisk box the Avaya send sonly its 4 digits as
caller ID on trunk 1.


I think the main change is the PRI type instead of tie, my system works
great since I did that, transferring back and forth no problem.  Oddly
tie only worked well with CSUs in place, PRI doesn't seem to care with
just a twist cable

Hope that helped, and didn't confuse you :)
