We are having issues with our CenturyLink SIP Trunk. outgoing calls stopped working all of the sudden. CL support says they are receiving a PAI request in the header. we have this set to none in the SIP URI but they are saying they are still reviving the PAI info.. is there anywhere else that the PAI us sent from? I cannot find any other settings.

If you run a monitor trace do you see anything about PAI in the trace? I tend to not believe providers without seeing it for myself. I make the joke that providers have a flow chart when calling in...
Step 1 Do you have a PBX?
If yes blame PBX
Return to Step 1
The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.

Incredible!
Never heard of a provider that expects a field to be not there. Usually they ignore headers they are not interested in.

I have had a provider tell me "if you send it we use it" like they have no control over ignoring something... ended up having nothing to do with what they complained about it too. I hate dealing with most SIP providers they blindly blame the PBX and rarely listen to any kind of reason. Getting a good tech who will actually work with you and use his head, not read off a sheet, is a rare treat.

Yes/No (my fav phrase of the month). Yes, they can ignore any headers that they don't use. But with a header like PAI, it is good that they don't unless it was expected, otherwise they can be letting information meant to be private network only out onto the public network. But as said, it wasn't actually PAI in this case.
Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.
