[Asterisk-Users] Re: siemens pbx and asterisk

[Michael Hamann]

Hi Silviu,

did you manage to get the callername to work? I have a comparable setup
with a hipath System but I can´t get the callername to be displayed over
the trunk. The callernumber works but not the name...

Any suggestion?

Thanks
Michael
