I'm using the CUTI (Cisco Unity Connection Telephony Interface) API to make internal calls. I can successfully make calls and play uploaded Audio clips. I'm also using the AXL API to change a given extension's 'Forward All' so that I can call out. For example:
I have internal ext 1111 with its external masked being 123-456-7890. If I set 1111 to forward to 111-222-3333 then when I have CUTI call 1111, 111-222-3333 receives a call from an unknown source. If I call 111-222-3333 directly from 1111 (not using CUTI or forwarding) then 111-222-3333 sees 123-456-7890 as the caller ID.
I see there being 2 potential solutions:
1. I somehow assign the CUTI call its own ext and mask
2. I set up our phone system so that it does not forward the original caller's caller ID, but the last used one.
I'd prefer solution 1 but will take solution 2 if need be.
If it helps, checking the CDR of CUTI's calls shows its Call Number to be null.
Thank you for any help.
