<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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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?<o:p></o:p></p>
