[asterisk-users] Asterisk QSIG doesnt send the calling name to Nortel CS1000

[Dale Noll]

It is not something that Nortel ever really talked about. I had used their
tool Meridian Admin Tool (MAT) which used an Ethernet connection to my
switches to sent commands over the network.  It did not take much to figure
out that they we using an rlogin connection(tcpdump and wire shark are your
friends).  From that point forward, I could simply use rlogin to issue
commands to the switches right from my Linux command prompt.  The next step
was to automate commands using the available tools.  I have used Perl and
Expect for that.  Perl being my favorite, but Expect has some nice features
for this.  Your choice.

There is a username required for the rlogion connection.  I do not know if
that username is unique per customer or generic to all systems.  The
command line I used to get a Nortel command prompt was:

rlogin nortelswitch -l CPSID1110 -e'%'

This site says the name is simply CPSID.

Now, back to the original topic.  Perhaps I did not read your original post
correctly.  Is your problem that...

A: Calls from Asterisk to Nortel do not display Asterisk names on the
Nortel phones

or

B: Calls from Nortel to Asterisk do not display Nortel names on the SMON
phones

My problem was A and matching the outbound CLID from Asterisk with a name
entry on Nortel fixed the problem.  If your problem is B, I would go with
Richard's suggestion.  I do not think that I had problem B, but I do
database dips for CLID lookup on inbound calls so I may not have noticed
the problem.
