Here is how I do it :-

[did]
exten => _6XXX,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=90${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => _6XXX,n,Set(CIDNAME=${DB(cidname/${CALLERIDNUM})})
exten => _6XXX,n,GotoIf($[ "${CIDNAME}" = "" ]?cont:setname)
exten => _6XXX,n(setname),Set(CALLERID(name)=${CIDNAME})
exten => _6XXX,n(cont),Goto(voip,${EXTEN},1)

Incoming PRI calls go to the [did] context (from-pstn in your case) and the rules above match calls coming into extentions starting with a 6.
The first line appends a 90 to the start of the calling number. I put 90 infront as we use 9 to get an outside line and doing this enables people to easily redial the number using the history feature of the phone.
Lines 2-4 lookup the number in the built in asterisk database and assign a name if found. This enables us to apply a name to the incoming number for people that often call us.
Lines 5 jumps to the dialed extension in the [voip] context which is where we have all our extensions defined.

Sorry to mention this later,

I am using Trixbox, as you know that has freePBX.

If i change this, it will effect the DID feature avaliable in from-pstn context.

is there any code that can be appended to the from-pstn contest.

I looked at from-pstn code in extensions.conf
-------
[from-pstn]
include => from-pstn-custom                     ; create this context in extensions_custom.conf to include customizations
include => ext-did-direct            ; MODIFICATOIN (PL) put before ext-did to take precedence
include => ext-did
include => ext-findmefollow            ; MODIFICATOIN (PL) for findmefollow if enabled, should be bofore ext-local
exten => fax,1,Goto(ext-fax,in_fax,1)
----------

if i put the following code in [from-pstn-custom] context will it be OK, Will i lose any other features that are currently handeled by trixbox from-pstn context.?????
[from-pstn-custom]
exten => _[23478].,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=00${CALLERIDNUM})


Have a look at the link
http://www.trixbox.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1795&forum=2
i tried adding the nationalprefix=0, but this didnt change any thing.

regards
Naren

No the standard trixbox code includes the standard extentions within the [from-pstn] context so you cannot just add a custom entry. You have to remove this include so that you can define your own entry for the group of extentions which sets the callerid and then jumps to the correct extension on the other context.

I had a loog at the URL you gave. Did you try adding the nationalprefix=0 into the zapata.conf file?
You might need to restart asterisk rather than reload the configuration for this change to take effect.

Thanks for help, i will try to restart the asterisk and see how it goes

 

by: r_naren22atyahooPosted on 2006-12-20 at 15:07:38ID: 18177224

I have added the nationalprefix=00,

but its still no effect, also restarted the asterisk
using command
amportal stop
amportal start

i still want to use the context [from-pstn] coz there are many features i am using in freepbx that depend on from-pstn context.

can we add a code at the starting of this from-context to prepend the callerid

regards
Naren

 

by: grbladesPosted on 2006-12-21 at 00:50:04ID: 18178991

You could add this. You will need to change the _6XXXX. to a pattern which matches your internal numbers and also change ext-did to the context which contains your extensions.

[setcid]
exten => _6XXX,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=0${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => _6XXX,n,Goto(ext-did,${EXTEN},1)

Then change the following (1st line added). This will jump to the [setcid] for any matches and since it is placed first it will always take precedence.

[from-pstn]
include => setcid                     ; include the setcid contect
include => from-pstn-custom                     ; create this context in extensions_custom.conf to include customizations
include => ext-did-direct          ; MODIFICATOIN (PL) put before ext-did to take precedence
include => ext-did
include => ext-findmefollow          ; MODIFICATOIN (PL) for findmefollow if enabled, should be bofore ext-local
exten => fax,1,Goto(ext-fax,in_fax,1)
