See number of caller on Yealink T42 on group pickup

[Ebe]

If we use group pickup we can't der the number of the caller on our screen. The screen only shows the called feature code *8. Is it possible to update this with the number of the caller that you picked?

Another thing: when we forward a call internal the number is also not updated. What I want is that when we forward we still can see the number of the the person that calls us (not of the collegue that forwarded the call). How can I do this?

So we figured it out how to fix this yealink problem.

Basic CID settings that need to be set in $mac.cfg

#######################################################################################
##                            cid_source                                                                                                                        ##
#######################################################################################
#Configure the type of SIP header(s) to carry the caller ID; 0-FROM (default), 1-PAI 2-PAI-FROM, 3-PRID-PAI-FROM, 4-PAI-RPID-FROM, 5-RPID-FROM;
account.1.cid_source = {$yealink_cid_source}

account.1.cid_source_privacy = 1
account.1.cid_source_ppi = 1

#Configure the presentation of the callee ID; 0-PAI-PRID, 1-DIALED DIGITS (default), 2-RFC4916;
account.1.cp_source = 0

where $yealink_cid_source = 4 and account.1.cp_source = 0

But the missing part (not in the $mac.cfg) was the following line:

##########################################################################################
## Yealink Show caller ID when forwarding internaly                                          ##
##########################################################################################

account.1.refresh_remote_id.enable = 1

What does this fix?

When you receive a call and forward this to another extention the last receiver will see the original CallerID and not the extention that forwarded the call.
