What type of phones are you using? We had the same situation and resolved it by using the Directory feature in our Aastra telephones. At that time, about a year ago, PNXNSIP did not provide the Called Party info to the receptionist. Maybe it has changed since then. So, look in your phone and see if it has any type of local directory that can be programmed with your extension numbers. Bill H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name of the person you are calling is sent back to your phone in the Session Descrition Message where it says "To:" Here you can see where I (From:Bill H) called 204. SIP/2.0 183 Ringing Via: SIP/2.0/UDP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5060;branch=z9hG4bK529adcf0b4a33dd7f.6dce497b54b3b09a0 From: "Bill H" <sip:205@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5060>;tag=23bf47af02 To: "204" <sip:204@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5060>;tag=7450add047 Call-ID: a97b2bcc6cd8a1a9 CSeq: 14255 INVITE Contact: <sip:205@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5060> Supported: 100rel, replaces, norefersub Allow-Events: refer Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, BYE, REFER, PRACK, INFO, UPDATE Accept: application/sdp User-Agent: pbxnsip-PBX/3.0.0.2998 Require: 100rel RSeq: 1 Content-Type: application/sdp Content-Length: 277 v=0 o=- 61201 61201 IN IP4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx s=- c=IN IP4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx t=0 0 m=audio 60172 RTP/AVP 0 8 18 101 a=rtpmap:0 pcmu/8000 a=rtpmap:8 pcma/8000 a=rtpmap:18 g729/8000 a=fmtp:18 annexb=no a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000 a=fmtp:101 0-16 a=ptime:20 a=sendrecv That being said I believe that PBXNSIP is sending the Name to the telephone (in the SDP), but the telephone lacks the ability to extract and display it. Aastra has a common Directory configuration file that all our phones pick up by TFTP when they boot up. Does Polycom have such a method as well?
