[asterisk-users] Linksys SPA devices and CID

[Jaap Winius]

Quoting Tim Johnson <tjapml at cometonovascotia.ca>:

That sounds like a good idea regardless. On the SPA3000 I've changed  
the User ID to "PSTN", while the sip.conf now has the following entry:

    [4500]
    ; SPA3000, PSTN line: incoming.
    type=friend
    host=dynamic
    port=5061
    context=home-in
    username=PSTN
    secret=1234
    dtmfmode=rfc2833
    disallow=all
    allow=ulaw
    insecure=very
    qualify=yes

While still not a solution in my case, this is an improvement. CIDs  
for incoming  PSTN calls are now reported as "Unavailable", instead of  
always being "4500".

Thanks!
