sip.conf:

[my-extension]
         setvar                          = LOCATION=Main Lobby

extensions.conf

         exten = *,n,                    set(CALLERID(name)=Tora! Tora! Tora!)
         exten = *,n,                    set(CALLERID(num)=${LOCATION})
         exten = *,n,                    dial(sip/security)
         exten = *,n,                    hangup()

This shows 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' as line 1 and 'Main Lobby' on my cisco 
7960.
