<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> We have two asterisk PBXs connected. </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> PBX 1 has SIP trunks connected to our provider.
PBX 2 is a remote <br>
> PBX and SIP Trunk connected to PBX 1. </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> We are able to dial extensions either way and
PBX 2 is able to dial <br>
> out using PBX 1 SIP trunks connected to our provider.</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> We would like to use a separated Caller-ID for
PBX 2 and cannot <br>

<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</font></tt>

<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Without seeing your dialing plan, it is hard to say
for certain what you should do. However, there are a couple of things you
could check.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>1. When a call comes in from PBX 2 to PBX 1, does
it have the caller ID you want already set? If so, then something in PBX
1 is overwriting it. The way to handle this is to have a separate path
set up for external calls that come in from PBX 2. That way you can ensure
that your caller ID isn't getting clobbered. If you are sure that you are
setting the CID correctly before the call goes out, look at the next item.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>2. Does your SIP provider allow you to set your caller
ID? I have seen three answers to this question. Some allow you to set the
CID to any number you want, even if it isn't a valid number or one you
own. Some allow you to set it to any number, as long as it is one you own
through them. Finally, some of them let you pick one number and all calls
get that CID regardless of what you set before you send the call to them.
If your provider falls into the third category, you will need to contact
them to find out if you can be allowed to set your CID to a different number.
I had a provider for one of my locations that defaulted to one number only,
but was happy to make a change to allow me to set it to whatever number
I wanted out of the ones they provided service for.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If neither of these work, we would likely need more
details to be able to help spot the problem.</font></tt>
