[cisco-voip] CME calling name

[Ryan Ratliff]

Configure a name under the ephone-dn that is making the call.

Now if you are using a PRI under the serial x/y:23 interface  
configure 'isdn outgoing display-ie' and CME will provide calling  
name to the PSTN.
You can verify this via 'debug isdn q931'.

As Lelio mentioned depending on where you are located the remote  
telco may or may not pay any attention whatsoever to the name you  
provide.

Some background. In the U.S. the calling name is presented to the  
called party by the called party's service provider via SS7 database  
lookups. Meanwhile, in Canada, the calling name is presented to the  
called party by the calling party's service provider.

While CallManager can be configured to 'allow calling party name' out  
PRIs, the value used is the same calling party name used for internal  
calls. There is no option in CallManager to override the internal  
calling party name with an enterprise calling party name - it is  
expecting the PSTN to do that for you. Unfortunately, in Canada, the  
PRI service model does not allow for that. Supposedly, it does, but  
the service providers have not paid the licencing fees or something  
like that.

Anyways, I'm not sure how much of this translates to CME, but it  
might be a start.

If you're looking for the internal calling name to be passed, check  
the system parameters (or equiv) on CME. If you're looking for an  
enterprise parameter, ask your SP if they can override it.

Good Luck

Hi list,

Would it be possible to configure a CME to actually pass calling name to
an outgoing PRI? If so, can someone please enlighten me on how? :)

Best regards,
