I clicked on the displayed 2nd line CID and then the drop down listed both numbers. I clicked on my primary number and my CID became my primary number for CNAME as well as for the CNUM portions. The Vpanel display then reverted to the original display with the 2nd line number number listed and with no alternative available in the list.

    The reasoning behind this is because that is your only available option as far as setting your Caller-ID to rather than your regular CID. Once you've changed your default CID, it should then APPEAR in the list (to set it back to DEFAULT).

    I admit this may appear a bit confusing as it says "Outbound Caller-ID: [select box] <-- and the default option selected may / may not be your current Caller-ID depending on whether it is defaulting to your default CID (i.e. has never been set) or if it has been set (in which case it should default to what it is set to)

    Let me know if this makes a little more sense now, also as for the actual CNAM display a callee may see when receiving a call is dependent on something entirely different such as the Regional CNAM Database (which is queried by using your calling from phone number).

    When you are setting Caller-ID all you are doing is changing the phone number appearance that you are calling from, which may/may not yield a different CNAM result depending on what the CNAM database has for that specific phone number on the receiving parties end.

    I hope this all makes sense, let us know, thanks!

    Beta=>Caller ID

    Perhaps the Primary ID should be in the drop-down too?
    Below, you could display the CID being used. (Less confusing)

    Especially nice if it could be assigned to Line#1 and Line#2 separately.
    I like the idea of both lines always ringing (for me), but sending a Virtual Number, when calling from Line#2.

    (Just thinking)

    It would make sense, or be logical I suppose, iff after changing to the 2nd line #, only the primary number were displayed as the option. But I have both numbers displayed/available when I select the 2nd line as CID. When I go back to the 1st line, I again can only see the 2nd line. It's just inconsistent.

    Perhaps a better display would be "Outbound Caller-ID may be changed to: [select box]" iff that is what you intend?
