Applies if you want the public CallerID (when available) to be used for local and extended local calls as well.
It allows the association between the CallerID of the Phone terminal user and an existing card code defined for the same CallerID.

Preserve original CallerID on transferred calls

Send SIP P-Asserted-Identity and P-Preferred-Identity headers

Allows the headers to be added to all outgoing INVITE requests sent from this extension. 

The SIP P-Asserted-Identity header contains the caller ID number of the extension, e.g. P-Asserted-Identity:sip:0003*003@localhost.localdomain.

The P-Preferred-Identity header is sometimes used to indicate an additional identity of preference when there is a choice. 

These headers are preserved only on outgoing external calls, e.g. P-Preferred-Identity: "John White" <sip:johnny@somedomain.org>.
