Caller ID starts at the top. Your SIP trunk provider. Some force it, most have a place for a default.
Working back the trunk is next.
Back again is the outbound route
Then finally back to the Extension.

All of these places can specify what outbound CID is shown. Most can also be set toforce or override any previous steps.

  1. Extension - bottom of the pile, and rarely populated for most systems.
  2. Outbound Route - this is where I typically set the CID, but I rarely flag it to override the extension, just in case I set it there for a specific user. Usually it is only force onthe ourtound route for 911 calls.
  3. Trunk - I will populate this field only because I hate the extra click I have to make when I apply a change to a trunk with no CID. I never set this to override. Ever.
  4. Provider - Some providers will let you pass anything in the outbound Caller ID form your PBX. Some will require you to validate the outbound CID you are using with a call back before they let you send a number that you are not buying from them. A rare few will not let you send anything but the CID they associate with your trunk.
