Caller ID on PRI facilities

[jasoff]

How do I enable caller ID, both inbound and outbound, on my PRI? I checked every single setting and I know I'm missing something.

First I would check that your provider allows you to transmit it.

From the docs:
Telephone Number to Send 3
Use this procedure to assign the telephone number to send to the network when
outgoing calls are made on an ISDN line. If the person being called subscribes to
an automatic number identification service, the number indicates who is calling.
The number assigned to each channel does not have to be unique because it is
not used for routing.
The telephone number sent to the network can be one of the following:
n The extension number assigned to the calling telephone (Select
Extension Only in Step 4).
n The extension number substituted into the lower order digits of a
systemwide base number (Select Base Number with Ext in Step 4).
n The facility-based line telephone number (Select Line Telephone
Number in Step 4).
NOTE:
Only one base number is supported per system. In systems having nonuniform
extension numbers, for example, where there are some 3-digit
extension numbers and some 4-digit extension numbers, one base number
may not be sufficient to represent all the outside telephone numbers of all
extensions.

Forgot to mention that the Legend can only work with one DID npa/nxx. All transmitted numbers must fall in the same NPA/NXX. We eventually had to have DID's in another NXX, so we converted to transmitting a single number.
