[cisco-voip] Issue with 7945 phones and Display Name

[James Buchanan]

For some reason I thought the ASCII Display Name was only needed for
SIP-based phones.

ASCII Display Name must be part of your bat file.  Even though it auto
populates when adding a phone manually,  it does NOT do this when adding
phones via BAT.

 

ASCII Display Name is the name that shows up when a users phone is
ringing.  If not populated, only the phone number will appear.

Hello,

 

I have 7945 phones deployed with CallManager 5.1(3). When the phones
were imported, the Display Name was set on the lines but the ASCII
Display Name was not. When these phones call phones at another location,
only the extension shows up for caller ID. The Display Name does not
show up. If the ASCII Display Name is populated, then the Display Name
shows up properly. Any thoughts on why this is the case?

 

Thanks,

 

James Buchanan
