CallerId is configured on my analogue phone line and is displayed okay when my phone is connected to the line however when Asterisk (1.0.5) is connected to the line then I get no CallerId.
Has anyone got CallerId to work with an analogue phone line in Germany (provider T-Com)?
What do I have to do to configure CallerId on inbound calls and where?
The only place I found was in zapata.conf and I did not have any joy in getting the settings there to work, but then again I did not know what to configure for Germany.
;
; Whether or not to use caller ID
;
usecallerid=yes
;
; Type of caller ID signalling in use
; bell = bell202 as used in US, v23 = v23 as used in the UK, dtmf = DTMF as used in Denmark, Sweden and Nethe
rlands
;
;cidsignalling=bell
;
; What signals the start of caller ID
; ring = a ring signals the start, polarity = polarity reversal signals the start
;
;cidstart=ring
;
thanks in advance for any help.
You’re in the right place. v1.0.5 of Asterisk requires configuration of two variables: cidsignalling and cidstart. The supported values are:
cidsignalling: bell, dtmf, or v23
cidstart: ring, polarity
Bell/ring is the appropriate combination in the US. There’s a great CID FAQ here: ainslie.org.uk/callerid/cli_faq.htm
Unfortunately, it doesn’t shed much light on Germany. If you’ve tried all the possible combinations of the above, you’re probably out of luck. 
Good luck!

Hi,
I tried all the combinations from the following
I even tried using two different extension scripts because I was not sure if I had to answer the inbound call or not
[inbound-analog]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Wait(1)
exten => s,3,NoOp(${CALLERID})
exten => s,4,Hangup
[inbound-analog]
exten => s,1,Wait(2)
exten => s,2,NoOp(${CALLERID})
exten => s,3,Hangup
and I got exactly the same result for all 12 calls
