Hi all,
I'm starting out with FS 1.4.7 on CentOS 6 (installed via the FS repo at http://files.freeswitch.org) and have a simple working config with two sofia profiles, internal and external. I can register SIP clients, call between internal extensions and call external numbers through a SIP gateway.
Each user in directory/default/*.xml looks like this:
<include>
<user id="106">
<params>
<param name="password" value="xxx"/>
</params>
<variables>
<variable name="accountcode" value="106"/>
<variable name="user_context" value="default"/>
<variable name="effective_caller_id_name" value="Gavin Hamill"/>
<variable name="outbound_caller_id_name" value="Gavin Hamill"/>
</variables>
</user>
</include>
However, when I call from 106 -> 105, I only see '105' appear in the destination client when I would expect to see 'Gavin Hamill' If I force the effective_caller_id_name to be a fixed string:
<context name="default">
<extension name="bashton_office_staff">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^(10[0-9])quot;>
<action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_name=QWERTYUIOP" />
<action application="bridge" data="user/$1"/>
</condition>
...
</context>
Then sure enough calls always appear as coming from 'QWERTYUIOP' At https://confluence.freeswitch.org/display/FREESWITCH/XML+User+Directorythere is a section 'Variables' which states:
Any variables defined in the domain or user will be defined as channel
variables when there is a call to user or when there is an inbound calls from that user.
That's exactly the behaviour I was expecting - any pointers where I'm going wrong would be warmly received.
Cheers,
Gavin
