Thus spake Brian
We have an 800 number that is forwarded to our main dialup pool number, so that users can use 800 service when they are out of town.
We would like to capture DNIS for the 800 number in RADIUS so that we can bill accordingly. Currently when someone dials the main number (not 800 number) we get DNIS. When someone dials the 800 number, we do not get DNIS information of any kind.
Is it possible to get DNIS information from this 800 number?
You need both telco's (the 800 provider and your local) to be configured to pass the DNIS info. Keep in mind that if you're using switched 800 service that it might end up that the DNIS information that is delivered to you is the DNIS for the local number that the 800 number is switched to. This happened for us...we got an 800 number (actually 888 in our case) and pointed it to our main dial-in local number. The only DNIS that ever showed up was the local number. The workaround is to have your local telco assign another local number and point your 800 number at this new local number. Then when the new local number shows up in DNIS, you know the 800 number was the one that was actually dialed. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
