[asterisk-users] Calling Line Identity - any ideas

[Paddy Grice]

Hi Sherwood 

I actually do want "dynamic" CLID as I tried to make clearer

>> An internal call from Ext123 should send 123 as the CLID to SIP/Ext400
but should

44123455667788 should 
>> send the received CLID 44123455667788 to both. 

So over the provider connection the CLID will be different for different
calls. Setting the main office number in sip.conf is fine as a default but
as the code/dialplan needs to set cli for some calls I actually set CLID for
all calls. This setting and onward transmission by provider works fine. 

So what I am trying to do is call 2 different sip endpoints AT THE SAME TIME
presenting different AND VARIABLE CLIs. If Nasir's trick is not recommended
what is the best way to achieve this.

As a newbie to Asterisk advise and best practice gained from user experience
is always welcome.

Paddy

First, the reason is, why use a BAD IDEA when there's perfectly good
solutions in front of the user.... There was no mention on this ONE call
going outbound over the trunk needing a different CID...the request was as
follows:

Client needs to call an INTERNAL extension, where the INTERNAL CallerID will
be used, and at the SAME TIME, a call to an EXTERNAL number (which would
necessitate USING THEIR PROVIDER TRUNK), using the EXTERNAL CallerID....

Now, p-lease tell me how just configuring the damned trunk's outbound CID is
NOT more sensible, efficient, and just friggin' COMMON SENSE TO START
WITH...over using a Local channel call, which would require slightly more
typing, and using something that I've almost NEVER found a good reason to
use, and if you'd care to search the damn archives, you'll see that I was
pushing upwards of 5k CONCURRENT CALLS back in 2005, WITH 1.4 Trunk and the
RealTime addiiton (which was experimental)...

For the love of whatever you find holy and good and true...don't come at me
like that...I'm really not in the mood anymore...I put 3-4 solid years of
helpjng newbies figure out why shit didn't work, reporting REAL bugs and
issues to thew developers and even assisting with some of the fixes....I
feel entitled (yes, I know that's an asshole thing to say) to a little
common respect....


Now...anyone for a pint? I'm off to vent some frustration with people who
jump on the WRONG bandwagon and try to take over....
