Hoping you wonderful people can give me a clue..
I have an IPO 500 with a sip trunk to an Asterisk server.
IPO has an auto attendant, "press 1 for sales". That destinates to a ring group. Works fine.
My task was to forward sales calls between 5 and 7 to our west coast office (the asterisk server)
I tried it a bunch of ways but in every instance, the caller id of the forwarded call to the west coast came up "restricted". This is not an issue when an IPO extension directly dials an asterisk extension. It only seems to be an issue if there is an auto-attendant somewhere along the route. Also keep in mind that the "internal" sip trunk between the IPO and the Asterisk is not subject to call ID "hardcoding" like the external SIP trunk we use for regular outgoing calls so it should go through.
The current setup is:
Incoming -> AA -> [press 1] -> Sales Hunt Group set up for night service failover between 5 and 7 -> West Coast Hunt Group -> Ext 253 -> Forward unconditionally to 6701 (west coast ext)
If in the AA I dial 253 directly instead of 1, it calls the west coast with the ext 253 caller id. If I hit 1 I get restricted.
I assume I'm missing something stupid.
I've tried using a short code with ss at the end as a forwarding number (as suggested in another thread), but that didn't work either. The short code forced the use of the internal sip trunk.
Any ideas would be most appreciated. I would love to get the originating caller ID to come through the Asterisk. Or the very least extension 253 so we know its a east coast call.
Thanks!
