[cisco-voip] Caller Name ID possible via Facility IE with H.323?

[Brian Feeny]

I have read the thread:

https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-voip/2005-March/003509.html

And was curious as to the outcome.  I have PRI's coming in from a 5ESS, and the carrier is sending the ID in the facility IE (inbound calls to us), and of course CM appears to want it in the display IE.  I have read of ways CM would take it via the Facility ID if using MGCP AND NI2/3 or MGCP AND QSIG.  Does any solution at all exist for H.323?  I have tried to set my switch type for NI and QSIG, both work as far as placing/receiving calls, but I still cannot get inbound name id.  I have tried to set "isdn supp-service name calling" on the gateway as well but it doesn't seem to fix it.  Gateways are running late 12.3T code, CM is 4.1(3)SR2.

Sure I can try to battle it out with Bellsouth and ask them to change to display IE, but I am sure they will not do it for me, I'll try though.  But I am hoping there is a solution for those of us with H.323 links.  I could possibly get them to switch the circuit to NI2 or QSIG.  Like I said switching the switch type on the gateway works, without having the carrier do anything probably because its just compatible, but not sure if formally having them change the switch emulation would do anything.  The q.931 output is definitely more "friendly" with QSIG/NI, as it decodes the facility IE.  With 5ESS it doesn't like to receive the name id facility ie stuff, it errors on it (but of course call completes).
