CLID Privacy works after restart, but then stops.

deane

We have a system where we don't want the caller id of active calls to show for anyone. We have set privacy=clid under each stanza and when FOP2 is restarted, all is great. After a day or so, the caller id numbers start showing up again. Any thoughts?

Hi, that's strange. Please try the following, in fop2.cfg uncomment the poll_interval setting and set it to 3600. Then restart fop2 and see if the privacy stops working after a little more than one hour. If that happens then it is a bug in fop2 regarding that setting that I will have to fix!.

Best regards,

Here's what my customer reports, "I can say definitively that right when you sign into the FOP2 screen, the caller ID does not appear right away. However, within a few minutes, all caller ID numbers begin showing up."

Nicolás,

Any thoughts on this one? My client needs to make a decision on if they can use this going forward.

Thanks,
Deane.

Hi,

Well, I am not able to reproduce the issue myself, so I cannot give you any updates. From my tests and point of view, clid privacy works as expected even after reloads. If someone can give me access to a system with such behavior I would be able to take a look.

Just to be clear, privacy=clid in a button will make the callerid or dialed number to be omitted in that button, nothing else, nothing more. Maybe you are experience some other issue?

In my tests I set my own panel with privacy on some buttons, and it worked fine for several days...

We did some more testing and see that the caller id will hide when privacy=clid is in, but the dialed number is always present. Is this how it's supposed to work?

thanks.
