PRI ques. Outbound caller ID 1

[rocketpwerdtelecom]

I am being told by the LEC that the outbound digits for a call is a programming issue on my side. The existing circuit is pushing the ANI of 'bill to' number, not the extension making the call. Is this true and if so, how do I program a Legend, soon to be Magix, to do this?

Thanks in advance.

IF THE LEC allows it, yo can change the outbound ANI. It sounds like they do, so go into the PRI options, and look at "number to send". Here you can append a fixed number of digits with the extension number. If your DID block is (404)555-1200 to 1299, and you used 3 digit dialing, then have the extension number added to 4045551.

Pepperz, I tried that but no luck. Some of the settings are: Switch type-5ESS, System: by extension, Base number 732933, NtwkServ-CallbyCall, Incoming Routing-bydialplan.

Any place else I need to look at or is time to have words with the LEC? Thanks,

If you have changed the "number to send" and have received no response on the ANI, the LEC is probably not enabling htat feature. Yep, probably time to talk.

FWIW, when I've had to use this, the LEC was looking for 10 digits, therefore my base number had to be 10 digits. So in Pepperz's example, my base number ended up being 4045551200. In a 3 digit dialplan, the Merlin replaces the last 3 digits with the person's extension number.

Yes, but you want to be careful with the Extension Number thing 'cause it may send a number that is not a vailid call back number.

I ususally set them up to send the MAIN LISTED NUMBER for all lines.
