# Hiding the Caller’s Number from Employees

In some cases, employees should not see the actual phone number of a client. Here is a possible approach to solving this problem: employees will be provided with an alternative number that they can use to call back.

1. Go to **System** → **System File Customization**.

2. Open the **modules.conf** configuration file for editing. Set the mode to "**Add to end of file**".

3. Connect the module to calculate the hash sum:

```
load => func_md5.so
```

4. Open the **extensions.conf** configuration file for editing. Set the mode to "**Add to end of file**".

5. Define the context for number substitution:

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```php
[dial_create_chan-custom]
exten => s,1,NoOp()
    ; Only for incoming calls
    same => n,ExecIf($["${CHANNEL(channeltype)}" == "Local" || "${FROM_DID}x" == "x"]?return)
    ; No processing required if an internal number is calling
    same => n,ExecIf(${DIALPLAN_EXISTS(internal,${CONNECTEDLINE(num)},1)}?return)
    ; No processing required if the number is not in the list
    same => n,ExecIf($[${DIALPLAN_EXISTS(bluring-extensions,${CHANNEL(endpoint)},1)} == 0]?return)
    ; Retrieve the cached number
    same => n,Set(blNumber=${CONNECTEDLINE(num):-4}*${MD5(${CONNECTEDLINE(num)})})
    same => n,Set(DB(bluring/${blNumber})=${CONNECTEDLINE(num)})
    ; Replace the caller ID
    same => n,Set(CONNECTEDLINE(num)=${blNumber})
    same => n,Set(CONNECTEDLINE(name)=${blNumber})
	same => n,return

```

{% endcode %}

6. Describe the context with the numbers for which you need to replace the number:

```php
[bluring-extensions]
; Allow number substitution for extension 201
exten => 201,1,NoOp()
; Allow substitution for all four-digit extensions
exten => _XXXX,1,NoOp()
```

7. We will provide the opportunity to call back to a replacement number:

```php
[all_peers](+)
exten => _XXXX*.,1,Set(number=${DB(bluring/${EXTEN})})
    same => n,ExecIf($["${number}x" == "x"]?hangup)
    same => n,Goto(all_peers,${number},1)
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mikopbx.com/mikopbx/english/faq/cases/bluring.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
