Interesting idea - I can see that being very useful. I know on my old
SPPA-841s they would do that - but it was based on looking up the dialed
number in the internal directory (which I programmed using a perl script
in the asterisk server.) So, when I dialed 213, the name appeared that I
dialed, confirming I had the right person.
Unfortunately, I never have been able to get my Polycom SoundPoint IP
500 phones to do that.
I just tested the SIPAddHeader command given above - doesn't work with
the Polycom Soundpoint IP 500 that I tested with. (Even with the missing
'}' at the end that I fixed - still doesn't work.)
Good idea thought - anybody have any magic that might make that work?
