What happens in Canada is slightly different. The help pages are for US characteristics. Case in point, we could really use a Calling Name Display Mask that is set on all outbound calls, but there is no field like that.<br><br>I've heard through the grape vine that with v7/8 there is an ASCII field that is actually sent out instead of the normal one. <br><br><br>---<br>Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br>Senior Analyst (CCS) * University of Guelph * Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1<br>(519) 824-4120 x56354 (519) 767-1060 FAX (JNHN)<br>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br>Cooking with unix is easy.

<p class="MsoNormal">This is not really a problem per se (I actually enjoy the
functionality), just a riddle that has always bugged me. Does anyone know why
on the settings page for a DN, there is “Internal Caller ID,” but
there’s actually nothing “internal” about this field at all? CUCM
*does* send this supposedly-“internal” text out my MGCP gateways to
the PSTN provider where it ultimately *does* end up on the external callee’s
display. The description for the “Internal Caller ID” even says
that it’s for internal calls… but it lies. Yes I am classifying the
calls as Off-Net, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(FYI – Here in Canada, the PSTN providers tend to
accept display name the entire way through a call path, unlike in the U.S.
where my understanding is they typically only accept the number and then do
their own database look-up to get a name.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe the DN settings page was translated from some other
language and “internal” didn’t come across right? Or maybe I
have some obscure service parameter set that I don’t know about?</p>
