The outgoing caller ID

[bradtem]

Noojee click has a field for a caller-ID now, but I am not sure it is doing anything.  I find that in my scripts for calls in my outgoing context that there is no caller ID, and it seems to be the case that in manager set up calls, my channel specific variables are not set.

What I do in asterisk is for each extension (which has a SIP channel definition) I define a variable OUTCID, which is the caller-id that this phone generates on outbound calls.  As each phone has a DID, it is normally that number.    I define other variables, though, because for example when I call Canada, I generate a CID of my Toronto DID and so on.

Is there a way to get my channel variables imported on a manager call?

Short answer is no.

The longer answer is that I'm considering an option to allow you to specify one or more variables which Noojee Click would pass in when dialing.
