[asterisk-users] Parked calls and callerid

[Guido Hecken]

Hi list,
 
sorry if this has been discussed in the past and is also posted twice to the
list,
but I couldn't find anything wise about it.
 
Since we had some trouble with the builtin hold function of some (all?) SNOM
320/360
phones, we decided to use the call parking feature in asterisk instead.
 
Assume, a call comes in with CALLERID(num) 1234567 for extension 10.
Extension 10 parks this call into 801, dials extension 11 and asks if she/he
could
fetch the call on parkposition 801.
Extension 11 dials 801 and get's the call and can only see 801 in the phones
display.
 
So, how could we get the original CALLERID(num) 1234567 back in the phones
display?
Using a channel variable or use astdb comes in mind, but what is the best
way to achieve 
this?
In traditional pbx systems this seems to be a "standard" function.
Any ideas on how do handle these callerids?
 
 
Here some of the involved configs
---------------------------------------------------
in extensions.conf:
 
[parkedcalls]
exten =>  80[1-5],1,NoCDR()
exten =>  80[1-5],2,ParkedCall(${EXTEN})
 
in features.conf:
 
[general]
parkext => 800    
parkpos => 801-805
context => parkedcalls          
parkingtime => 60
 
-------------------------------------------------

We are using SVN-branch-1.4-r96449 and other, older versions of asterisk

Kind regards,

 
Guido
