Hello,

We use Asterisk and as per book we use MAC addresses as user names.
So, when call coming in from outside (SIP trunk) - caller id is good.

But when users calling each other on extensions - they see MAC addresses. How would I make it so we see actual names instead of MAC addresses? Without changing users..

Thank you,
Ivan

Do you have a line like the following in your sip.conf for each user?

callerid="Name Here" <number here> ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.

This is true and any SIP phones can be configured to pass a configured Callerid value when dialing out.

This can be different from user name.
