Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.8 Transfer CallerID
Hello,
when a call comes in and is answered by colleague A, this colleague A
sees the CallerID of the external calling number.
When colleague A transfers the call to colleague B, attended or
unattended, then colleague B sees the number of colleague A on his
screen while talking to the external calling number.
That would be because this is the expected behavior. The call isn't
coming from the outside caller, it's coming from the person who
transferred it.
I expect here that colleague B would see the external calling number
on the screen of his IP-phone.
How can I get this behaviour ?
Thanks.
Jonas.
Getting this behavior shouldn't be too hard I wouldn't think. First,
be aware that the Dial command has an option s(x) which is described:
s(x): Force the outgoing callerid tag parameter to be set to the
string<x>.
Works with the f option.
So if you simply transfer to a dial application with that option,
you can force the callerid to be whatever you want it to be. You can
also retrieve the callerid of the original caller and put it on your
transferring peer in a variable when starting the call. I'm not
exactly sure on the specifics of that right now, but I'm pretty sure
it should be possible. So then when you are making the transfer to
dial, you just use that variable as your argument to the s option.
This is overkill, although it is certainly a way to approach it.
If the OP's SIP peers for his phones are configured to send
Remote-Party-ID or P-Asserted-Identity to those phones, then the
behavior he's looking for should be automatic, since Asterisk 1.8.x has
Connected Line update support. Of course, this also assumes that the
phones in question have the ability to receive this information and
update their displays. This can be tested by using the CONNECTEDLINE()
dialplan function to send anything desired to a phone that is in a call
with Asterisk.
