[cisco-voip] internal numbers ID masking

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I set up translations that bypass the masking, like police and voicemail.

But that being said, I should look at our translations to see if I block connected party presentation!

  Sorry to revive an old thread, but running into a "new" snag in this, at least something we hadn't considered before.

  I set up internal caller-ID masks per below, normally everything is fine. But we've discovered that if a secretary transfers a caller in to the person who's number is supposed to be masked, their true number is displayed on the calling party's IP Phone as the connected number. Don't ask me how we've missed that one for the passed 4 years.

  I've changed my translation pattern to restrict the "connected line id presentation" which did the trick.. but it totally scewed up their voicemail now. If a masked party calls someone and gets forwarded to voicemail, they get Unity's opening greeting rather than the called person's mailbox. When i look at the call viewer in unity, it looks like the forwarding number is blank. What would the connected party line ID of the caller have to do with the forwarding number?

  CCM 5.1.3
  Unity 4.2

    I never noticed the "Restricted" setting on there (or didnt realize what it was for). A lot of the users request that their secretaries numbers show up instead.. but for the ones that just what "Private" that would be quite a bit easier to just reuse one. Thanks!

      Right, I missed Ed's statement of "and of course, all masked as
      something different" :-)  As Lelio mentioned the easiest way is to
      Restrict the Calling Line ID and Calling Name (if appropriate) in the
      Translation Pattern.  There is no easy mechanism to change the Caller 
      ID on a phone by phone basis.  One could write a script to query a DB
      and mask the Caller ID based on the source of the call.  This way only
      the DB would need to be updated.  To make it seamless all internal
      calls should be intercepted by this script but it could be built so
      only those phones that need to mask the Caller ID are intercepted.
      Building a system that would be robust enough to handle the call volume
      might be a challenge and potentially costly. 

      I would agree that having the ability to restrict the Caller ID info
      from the phone would be best.  Interesting changes would be the ability
      to restrict the ID and Name and also an Internal Phone Number Mask. 
      Not sure if either of these are on the roadmap.
