Hello,

I recently gave CONNECTEDLINE function a try on an Asterisk 11 setup with a couple of SIP phones.

When a SIP phone dials an other one, with a CONNECTEDLINE statement in its dialplan, I noticed that Asterisk update caller’s information using a Remote-Party-ID header in 180 Ringing message.

For instance:
Alice —————-> Asterisk ——————->Bob
——- INVITE ——>

<-----180 Ringing--- (*) (*) Ringing message includes Remote-Party-ID header with which Asterisk can update dialed name or number. Now, I’m trying to let Asterisk update dialed name or number when caller simply dials an Asterisk application such as VoiceMail ou Playback. At the moment, I can’t get what I’m looking for. Specifically, I tried with: Set(CONNECTEDLINE(name)=Foo); Ringing(); Playback(tt-monkeys); HangUp(); As you may guess, I want to have Foo displayed on caller’s phone screen. I can see that 180 Ringing message sent back by Asterisk following Ringing() statement doesn’t hold any Remote-Party-ID header. What would you suggest ? Regards

  • You usually need to set a number to go with a name. Depending upon the channel driver protocol, a name with no number may not be enough to send out on its own.
