I’m having a bit of a problem setting outgoing caller ID.  
Here are a few lines in extensions.conf  
exten =\> \_9X.,1,Set(CALLERID(all)=“Company\_name” \<1234567890\>)  
exten =\> \_9X.,n,Dial(DAHDI/G0/w${EXTEN:1})

And a few lines from chan\_dahdi.conf  
usecallerid=yes  
callerid=asreceived  
hidecallerid=no

Dialing out works fine. The correct caller ID isn’t passed though. Instead, the persons extension is passed, with no name.

I’m probably just missing something VERY easy, but I can’t figure it out.

Please capture a call from the console and post it on here. I’m pretty sure I have an idea of what you’re doing… but I’d like more details.

I figured it out. I had a line pointing to somewhere else in my dialplan. Thanks for getting me look at it a little closer.
