Translate incoming calls to e.164


Coen

Recommended Posts

I'm having some trouble to translate incoming calls to the e.164 format.

My PBXnSIP installation is connect to OCS 2007 server with a mediation server in between.

 

I've created a PBXnSIP trunk to a Dutch VOIP provider (Budget Phone). The trunk is configured to forward all the calls to a user extension. (Send call to extension: 600).

 

When I call my Budget Phone number from a PSTN phone the trunk will accept the call and forward it to extension 600.

My communicator client will ring and is show the caller-id of the incoming phone call. This displayed number is not compatible with the e.164 standard. With means OCS is unable to do a reverse number lookup in AD or Outlook.

 

Can somebody tell me how to translate incoming calls to a e.164 standard before they are forwarded to OCS??

 

Greeting,

That topic is pretty well addressed in 3.1. If you like, you have a preview image. What OS?

I'm running Windows Server 2003 (32bit)

 

Check out http://pbxnsip.com/protect/. See http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/Installi...#Manual_Upgrade on how to upgrade. In this case, you should make a backup before doing this.

 

In the trunk, there is a setting that defines how to present the number. Choose the "+" style. You must also choose a country code in the domain so that the PBX knows how to interpret numbers.

I have installed the lasted 3.1 build. After that I've configured the trunk settings (Rewrite global numbers: "+" style).

And also change the country code to 31 in the domain settings.

 

But it didn't solve my problem. Inbound call are still in the wrong format. (0351234567 instead of +31351234567)

Do I need to change the trunk settings of my VOIP provider or the one to the OCS mediation server?

Hmmm. Seems that this did not completely solve the problem. I guess we have to try this out here as well...

FYI:

 

After installing the latest versie (3.1.0.3043), the translation to the e.164 works!

When calling from a pstn line to my pbxnsip setup the call is translated to the e.164 format.

OCS is now able to do a reverse number lookup and showing the correct contact name.

 

I'm happy :D

Well, so we just have another reason to do this painful internal conversion into the global telephone number format!
