[asterisk-users] Inbound CallerID displays asterisk

[ERIC HERRON]

I set verbose to 10. I will let you know if capture it.

 

I would like to elaborate as well.

 

We use this MTE to test polycoms and routers and allow clients to demo the
hardware.

 

It's the polycoms that are displaying the "asterisk" caller ID.

 

There is also no inbound route to the tenant.

I have an asterisk 1.4.26 mte running.

 

Sometimes inbound caller ID displays "asterisk"

 

These calls do not show up on the CLI nor the CDR.

 

I read somewhere that these are asterisk hack attempts.

 

Is this true? 

 

What is the best way to defend from this?

 

I know a secure password and all but the client is getting annoyed with the
random inbound calls.

 





Crank you CLI verbosity up to 10 or so and wait for the next time this
happens.  You should see SOMETHING on the CLI during the call.  Post that
output to the list and we can help you from there.

This does not always indicate someone attempting to hack you, I've seen this
occur when there are line errors on FXO devices (among other things).
