Solution

  • following is description from Asterisk

    Gets or sets Caller*ID presentation on the channel. The following values are
valid:
    allowed_not_screened - Presentation Allowed, Not Screened.
    allowed_passed_screen - Presentation Allowed, Passed Screen.
    allowed_failed_screen - Presentation Allowed, Failed Screen.
    allowed - Presentation Allowed, Network Number.
    prohib_not_screened - Presentation Prohibited, Not Screened.
    prohib_passed_screen - Presentation Prohibited, Passed Screen.
    prohib_failed_screen - Presentation Prohibited, Failed Screen.
    prohib - Presentation Prohibited, Network Number.
    unavailable - Number Unavailable.

    This is useful when you are using network calls through T1/E1 and while you dialing calls for setting caller*id on network call you need to send specific description to telco for setting callerid on PRI/BRI just discussed with telco what setting they allowed.
