[asterisk-dev] AMI originate - 2 callerid (local and remote)

[Stephen Coles]

In the originate command you can set callerID - there should be 2 one
for local and one for the remote side of the connection



Am using the originate command to dial a number to my phone - I have to
set it up so my phone comes up with my extension and name for it to show
my extension and name on the phone I'm calling (unlike when you dial
direct from the phone).



I would like to show that the phone is being dialled by the computer on
my phone or even the party I'm dialling and then my name and number to
show on the remote phone



An example of the originate command with 2 caller id's:



Action: originate

Channel: SIP/220

Exten: 321654

Callerid_local: "Computer Dial: Bob Smith" <321654>

Callerid_remote: "Steve" <01231453123>

Priority: 1



This would then show Computer Dial: Bob Smith <321654> on my phone and
on the bob smith's phone (the phone number I'm dialling) Steve
01231453123



Callerid_local and callerid_remote could be called CallerID_Channel and
CallerID_Exten to keep them in line with the other asterisk variables
used.

In the originate command you can set callerID – there should be 2 one
for local and one for the remote side of the connection

Actually, the way it works is that the CallerID information you specify
is sent to the "Channel" leg of the call, and that the other one can be
specified in the dialplan using the CALLERID() dialplan function.

To take your earlier example:

Action: originate
Channel: SIP/220
Exten: 321654
Priority: 1
Callerid: “Computer Dial: Bob Smith” <321654>

You could simply put this in the dialplan:

exten => 321654,1,Set(CALLERID(name)=Steve)
exten => 321654,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=01231453123)
exten => 321654,n,Dial(SIP/some_provider/${EXTEN})

Does that make sense?

End how to make that usable (callable) by multiple users? Should we
create different context for each caller? That is kinda inconvenient,
isn't it?

May be the idea of having 2 callerids in the originate(callfiles) isn't
that bad?

Yes it would be inconvenient, but only if you were silly enough to
interpret a helpful example as a fully blown implementaion.

It is not necessary. You pass a "variable:" in with the "Action:
originate", and use that as the callerID. Much of this type of thing
is mentioned in the WiKi page:

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+Manager+API+Action+Originate

even if some things are mentioned only indirectly.
