Setting Callerid

Set(CALLERID())

Synopsis

Set(CALLERID(all|name|num|number|ANI|DNID|RDNIS)=”CALLER NAME” <CALLER NUMBER>)

Asterisk 1.2 and later– For old usage please see Asterisk cmd SetCallerID

Description

Set Caller*ID on a call to a new value or read the current value.

Options are:

• all: Both caller’s name and number like this: “Joe Smith” <2095551212>
• name: The caller’s name
• num: The caller’s number (without the brackets) Note: can be used as num or number . You can set your caller ID number to text; just make sure not to use spaces, as you’ll have unexpected results!
• ANI: Announced Number Identification – the billing number that made the call (this number is usually the same as num, but it can be different)
• DNID: Dialed Number IDentifier
• RDNIS: Redirected Dialed Number Identification Service

Example

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX/2100,1,Set(CALLERID(all)=”Joe Smith” <2095551212>)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX/2101,1,Set(CALLERID(all)=”Jane Smith” <2095551213>)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX/2102,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=2095551214)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})

This is a fragment of a context for routing outgoing calls. It sends NANP toll calls to Zap/g1 after first setting the outgoing caller ID depending on the calling internal extension number.
