For those of you that have callerid and would like to name your incomming calls for known callers
You will need to log into your asterisk box at the command line type the following
asterisk -r -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
You will need to add 2 lines to the asterisk database
database put DEVICE/012345678 user “012345678” database put AMPUSER/012345678 cidname “NAME OF CALLER”
You will need to change 012345678 to the incomming callerid number you should then find that when that number calls into your phone system it will show on you phone display the caller number and the name of the caller
If you want to remove any of the entery that you have added to the database then the next example will remove the above example
database del DEVICE/012345678 user database del AMPUSER/012345678 cidname
