<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I spent some time investigating this. I'm sure I'll
be corrected if I've got anything slighty ajar. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyways, I'm not sure how much of this translates
to CME, but it might be a start.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good Luck</FONT></DIV>
