Hi All,

I have an app running on FS making outbound calls over a PRI line. The calls all caller-id at the endpoints with the PRI's pilot number. Say I wanted to change it so that the endpoint receives the call from one of the block of hunting numbers that my line comes with (instead of the primary/pilot number), how do I originate a call to do that? Here's the command on fs_cli that I'm trying, that doesn't seem to work:

> originate {destination_number=XXXXXXXXXX}openzap/smg_prid/a/YYYYYYYYYY@g2 &echo

Neil, use "origination_caller_id_number=xxx" like this:

> originate {origination_caller_id_number=1234567890,destination_number=XXXXXXXXXX}openzap/smg_prid/a/YYYYYYYYYY@g2 &echo

NOTE: The telco must support custom sending of "calling party number" sometimes called CPN. It won't hurt to try it, though, so give it a whirl and let us know.
