H on tieline caller ID

[coniglio]

I have an ongoing issue with a point-to-point PRI I have between my office and a remote office. When we call each other we're seeing the name displayed correctly, but the ext shows up as H1234. Is there any way to supress this H? where does this H come from? we've had multiple vendors try to correct this but no-one seems to be able to figure it out. Thanks in advance for your help.

Check this thread 181-27567 it might answer some of your questions. Then try some searches on Tie lines, QSIG, Remotes and such. There is alot of info written in this form that you can learn just using the search button.

conigloi, I gave you the wrong thread go to 798-923501. At the top of this page that your reading now, go to the search bar and change the drop down list on the left to "thread". Then put in the number.
You should also do a search to learn more about QSIG.

thank you all. I'll read up on QSIG since I haven't any idea what it even means.

The "H" is a hard coded option in the X11/X21 software that indicates a Private Network Call.

In the US, this cannot be turned off. In the UK, the vendor can apply a special type of patch to turn this off. In Switzerland, Swisscom (who has rights to the Nortel source code) has written special patches to modify or change this on some of the older releases.

This "H" shows up regardless if the call is Q.SIG, or MCDN. It is applied whenever the PRI Setup messgae is received with NUMBER PLAN: PRIVATE and TYPE OF NUMBER: ESN or CDP.

We never had this H show up when we had an AT&T point-to-point T1. When we switched this circuit for an MCI point-to-point T1 we started getting this H. By sheer coincidence, my husband mentioned the other day that when MCI calls him, their # always shows up with a H in front of it. Any suggestions? We can live with the the H but everyone and their mother is asking me why we now have it.
thanks.
