Can you please share an outline of an internal forwarded to external, that you say is working as expected, with all details on all the calling/called/forwarded numbers and the output of Q931 debug?
Thanks, that’s what I did expect. For your internal call the calling number is 2341, this is why it matches the transformation. Whereas when you get an external call and forward it to an external number the calling number that hits the route pattern is that of the external calling party. This would not be a match for your transformation. So the system is operating as expected. Changing the setting for what number to show for redirected calls happens on the gateway or trunk configuration object and that’s later than where the transformation takes place. A transformation is always matched on the information that is received on the route pattern level, ie multiple steps before the gateway/trunk in the call routing logic.
I would think that your opinion would be to use translation rules on the gateway, but that requires you to change the control protocol for your gateway from MGCP to either SIP or H.323, where SIP would be the preferred.
No you cannot use both protocols. I have some far away record that you might be able to put the voice translation profile on the voice port(s) and have it modify your called/calling number even if you use MGCP. But it’s nothing I’ve used or done myself. It’s been a long time since I used MGCP, we moved to SIP about 8-9 years ago.
