Calling Name to PSTN...

[MBC67]

Sending caller name out to PSTN over PRI circuit? Send number and name set to yes. Circuit is NI 1 (protocol a). Today not working as of yet. Li trace command says it is going out, but CO does not see it. Thoughts?

calling name is a lookup in a data base performed by the recipient's phone company. The caller's phone company has to register the name and the recipient's phone company has to have access to it. There are multiple data bases out there and they do not all have shared access. So even when the caller has it set up right the recipient may not see it. Unlike the number, your phone system has no control over what name is sent, only if it is sent.

Thanks... I want to send the Avaya PBX station's name to the PSTN and I know I have done it before in a previous life. So the search continues...

Have you put anything into "change public-unknown-numbering"??

if so...then I have no clue sorry.

 

[MBC67]

Yes I did... I am making the CO do some changes like using the NI 2 protocol and enabling the "names in / names out" feature. I will update when the fix is in...

9mmgeek is correct, on PSTN calls CPI Name is pulled from LIDB/CNAM database which is retrieved ("dipped") by receiving carrier. Your carrier will need to load the correct name/number data into LIDB/CNAM and the receiving carrier will 'dip' to obtain those names when the call arrives.

USNI Calling Name for Outgoing Calls?

Valid entries y/n
Enter y to send a name on outgoing calls over NI PRI trunks.
Important: Be sure you have validated that your service provider's central
office is capable of accepting calling name information from
Communication Manager in this way. For example, if the central office
has a 5ESS, it must be a generic 5EXX or later. Failure to validate the
central office capability might cause the central office to drop outgoing
calls from your Avaya S8XXX Server. In this case, change the value in this field
to n. Enter n to prevent sending calling name information with outgoing calls
over NI PRI trunks. n is this field overrides a y in the Send Name field of the
outgoing Trunk Group screen.

With these settings, list trace will show the name being sent from your switch. If you call a cell phone and do not see the name but list trace shows it, call your provider.

Thanks... This feature has been set. Need to make the circuit NI 2 and I will test it again. Need to update license file (FEAT_QBSS) feature is not turned which will allow me to program the signaling group correctly...
