Hi list,

After successfully configuring Linksys SPA3000 and SPA3102 devices as
Asterisk PSTN gateways, the only thing I can't get working is the PSTN
Caller ID. The analog and SIP phones I've used can both display CIDs
for internal calls, while the analog model also displays CIDs
correctly when attached directly to the PSTN line. However, when PSTN
calls come in via the SPA device, all I see is the SPA device CID
associated with the PSTN line; not the CID of the incoming call.

The only SPA settings I know of that are supposed to enable the
passing on of PSTN CIDs are the "PSTN CID For VoIP CID" option (under
PSTN Line), which AFAIK must be set to "yes," and the "Caller ID
Method" (under Regional), which I must set to "ETSI DTMI With PR", or
else my analog phone will not display any CIDs when attached to the
SPA's FXS port. Yet, these settings have never led to any positive
results, despite attempts with different firmware versions on both
devices.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Jaap

Your caller ID is probably being over-ridden by the settings in your
sip.conf file. Remove the caller ID from your PSTN section of the
sip.conf, and the CID should be passed on from the POTS line.

That sounds like a good idea regardless. On the SPA3000 I've changed
the User ID to "PSTN", while the sip.conf now has the following entry:

[4500]
; SPA3000, PSTN line: incoming.
type=friend
host=dynamic
port=5061
context=home-in
username=PSTN
secret=1234
dtmfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
insecure=very
qualify=yes

While still not a solution in my case, this is an improvement. CIDs
for incoming PSTN calls are now reported as "Unavailable", instead of
always being "4500".

Thanks!

What do you have for your "PSTN Answer Delay" (in PSTN tab)? I had to
set mine between 3 to 5 to get reliable CID from the POTS line. This
was for a SPA3102, not a 3000. I've never had a 3000, but everyone
says they are nearly identical.

I normally have 0 for both "PSTN Answer Delay" and "PSTN Ring Thru
Delay". Increasing the latter has also been said to solve this
problem. However, if I change both of these values to 5 it does add a
noticeable delay before any phones ring, but the CID remains
unavailable. Perhaps this is because where I live (in the Netherlands)
the local telco always sends the CID first.

Thanks anyway!

Cheers,

Jaap
