How do I capture Caller ID in PIAF (using British Telecom analog lines, ZAP cards)

[Lee Christie]

Hi, my company has a PIAF system set up in the UK (British Telecom) and I've been told by some that setting up CLI (Caller Line Identification) so that IP phones display the incomming number is easy, others said there's a problem with BT.

I have Caller ID enabled on the lines, it's standard analog lines on ZAP cards, how do I get the PBX to recognise the Caller ID?

Sorry I had to go away from my thread for so long, our office lost Internet connection.

Anyway, thanks, but the link you posted is broken. The domain seems to be parked.

first, check that BT have provided your lines with CLID (test with a normal telephone), they sometimes "forget" this..

the bits in bold and red below should be in your zapata.conf file

if you have featurelines and get errors with "internal" extension caller ID or run into any other odd quirks let me know as I have workarounds against these..
