[asterisk-users] Calling Line Identity - any ideas

[Sherwood McGowan]

I'll see if I can make it a little clearer for you...

When ext 123 makes a call to another SIP device through the server but
not requiring a middleman (i.e. a third party provider that allows you
to dial to parties outside the immediate control of your PBX) to
accomplish the call, what happens is Asterisk sets the CallerID on leg
B of the call (the leg that's "going" to the other internal extension)
to Ext 123's configured CLID.

However, when you call through a provider (the "middleman"), the call
has to use a peer/friend definition OTHER than the original one (Ext
123's)...it has to perform the call via the friend account you made
for ABCTelco, which could have included the CallerID information you
wanted displayed over all calls being sent outbound through that
provider...

Here's a really simple way to view this...

In the dialplan, the call to another internal extension is dialed thus:

Dial(SIP/456)

However, when you're dialing through a peer (middleman, provider,
whatever) it looks like this:

Dial(SIP/3148083030 at PROVIDER)

See, the @ indicates that you want asterisk to use another account as
a trunk to reach the number you're dialing. In your dialplan, when you
dial the outside world, what's after the @? Whatever it is, go to that
entry in your sip.conf, and you'll be 90% of the way home
