Recently I started to use **chan\_dongle** module and I obseved that this module doesn’t show CALLERID(num) in incoming calls.

I am using a modem Huawei E160X firmware versions 11.609.10.02.432.

Anyone have this kind of problem?

My dongle variables are:

```auto

[general]

interval=15 ; Number of seconds between trying to connect to devices

[defaults]
context=dongle-incoming ; context for incoming calls
group=0 ; calling group
rxgain=0 ; increase the incoming volume; may be negative
txgain=0 ; increase the outgoint volume; may be negative
autodeletesms=yes ; auto delete incoming sms
resetdongle=yes ; reset dongle during initialization with ATZ command
u2diag=-1 ; set ^U2DIAG parameter on device (0 = disable everything except modem function) ; -1 not use ^U2DIAG command
usecallingpres=yes ; use the caller ID presentation or not
callingpres=allowed_passed_screen ; set caller ID presentation by default use default network settings
disablesms=no ; disable of SMS reading from device when received
language=en ; set channel default language
smsaspdu=yes ; if 'yes' send SMS in PDU mode, feature implementation incomplete and we strongly recommend say 'yes'
mindtmfgap=45 ; minimal interval from end of previews DTMF from begining of next in ms
mindtmfduration=80 ; minimal DTMF tone duration in ms
mindtmfinterval=200 ; minimal interval between ends of DTMF of same digits in ms
callwaiting=auto ; if 'yes' allow incoming calls waiting; by default use network settings
disable=no ; OBSOLETED by initstate: if 'yes' no load this device and just ignore this section
initstate=start ; specified initial state of device, must be one of 'stop' 'start' 'remote'
exten=+1234567890 ; exten for start incoming calls, only in case of Subscriber Number not available!, also set to CALLERID(ndid)
dtmf=relax ; control of incoming DTMF detection, possible values:

```
