QUESTION How to communicate 2 PIAF boxes capturing the original caller id

[johnny2000]

I have 2 boxes of PIAF, the first one has a2billing installed on it to manage the phonecard. The second PIAF box acts as the gateway for all the calls that would come from the first PIAF box and also manage the different providers that would terminate the calls. To communicate between the two boxes I use IAX2, I created an extension number on the second PIAF box and made it as an IAX trunk on the first PIAF where the a2billing is installed. Everything works fine, all the calls from the first PIAF box are all terminated on the second PIAF box, however on the CDR records of the second PIAF box the caller id that is recorded is the extension number ( extension number that was created on the second box that becomes a trunk on the first box) not the original caller id that comes from the first box. I tried allowing all calls from the first box to the second box by allowing the ip address of the first box to the second box(without using the extension that I created on the second box), I can see that the calls are coming in with the original caller id to the second box, but I don't know how to make these calls from the first box to use the outbound routes that I created in the second box. My question is, is there any other way to communicate both boxes and record the original caller id that comes from the first PIAF box? Thank you.

You need to set up IAX trunks between the 2, not extension and trunk, and set the "Intra Company" check box.

You need to set up IAX trunks between the 2, not extension and trunk, and set the "Intra Company" check box.

I actually have setup the IAX2 trunks on both boxes, the calls can get through from box 1 (freepbx with a2billing) to box 2 (freepbx, acts as a gateway for all outbound calls), however my problem is, how to tell the second box to dial out the number that it received from box 1. Right now , box 2 has no clue on what to do with the _FROM_DID=15142942365, which was dialed by the caller or phone card user, ( Set(CALLERID(name)=5142962262)"). Below is the excerpt from the asterisk cli:

I figured it out. Thank you.
