Caller ID issue passing to Toshiba Strata 670

Greetings,

I have set up an Asterisk box (PBX in a Flash) as a front end to a Toshiba Strata CIX-670 which is our main phone system. They are connected via a Sangoma A102 and a T1 crossover cable. This works famously, by the way.

The issue at hand, the caller ID number is being passed from the Asterisk system to the Toshiba, but characters such as “Wireless Call” are not being routed to the Toshiba. The call reports on the Asterisk box show said characters are arriving from the phone company. Before I installed the Asterisk box the caller name would display on an incoming call, so the problem is somewhere in my configuration.

My Asterisk configuration is:
FreePBX 2.6.0.1
Asterisk 1.4.21.2
Zaptel 1.4.12.1
Libpri 1.4.7

I looked at the forum entry on ‘Set Caller ID’ and attempted the fix suggested on 1/4/2010, but that did not seem to make a difference.

There probably is a simple fix, more than likely in the zapata configuration files, but I am at a loss as to what it may be. Yes, my inexperience with Asterisk is showing.

Here are the configuration files for my Asterisk system and a log file segment of an incoming call.

Thanks for any help.

Greetings,

When I posted the above scenario, I had forgotten to mention how I am passing the extensions from the PSTN through the Asterisk system to the Toshiba box.

Each extension on the Toshiba box is listed on the Asterisk system as a ZAP extension.

Thanks again for any pointers.

As an example of the configuration for an extension –

======================================================================

zapata-additional.conf:

;;;;;;[7224]
signalling=fxo_ks
pickupgroup=
mailbox=7224@device
immediate=no
echotraining=800
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echocancel=yes
context=from-internal
callprogress=no
callgroup=
callerid=device <7224>
busydetect=no
busycount=7
accountcode=
channel=>g1/7224

===============================================================

extensions_additional.conf:

exten => *767224,1,Goto(app-dnd-toggle,*76,1)
exten => *767224,hint,Custom:DEVDND7224

exten => 7224,1,Macro(exten-vm,novm,7224)
exten => 7224,n,Goto(${IVR_CONTEXT},return,1)

exten => 7224,hint,ZAP/g1/7224&Custom:DND7224
exten => 7224,1,ExecIf($["${BLKVM_OVERRIDE}" != “”],dbDel,${BLKVM_OVERRIDE})
exten => 7224,n,Set(__NODEST=)
exten => 7224,n,Goto(from-did-direct,7224,1)

I did find that the caller id lookup module was not installed, so I grabbed that and the caller id SuperFecta application. Still no joy.

Any ideas where I should check next? I’ve enjoyed learning this system, but am a bit overwhelmed at times.

Many thanks.

Also another question: from whence does the cdr report obtain the caller id name if not from the incoming call itself?

I am having a similar issue. The caller ID is being passed to the Toshiba and the number shows, but the name is not displayed on our phones. I think it has something to do with the 670 maybe? I can see Asterisk sending both the name and the number.

To get a solution for the issue please get in touch with your local Toshiba dealer now or visit http://www.telecom.toshiba.com. Also, if yours is an SMB, try switching over to Toshiba’s VIPedge solution which is a cloud based telephone system.

You know this thread is over three years old, right?
