Title: OBI110 with VOIP phone Post by: delaney on May 20, 2013, 04:59:17 am Hi all, new to the forum, what I am trying to do is this
VOIP-Phone <-> OBI110 <-> POTS Any advice on how to procede would be most welcome. Thanks in advance Title: Re: OBI110 with VOIP phone Post by: azrobert on May 20, 2013, 07:19:44 am Is your VOIP phone on an Android smartphone, Iphone or PC (Windows?)

http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=4647.0 Before you start see my Reply #58 on the 3rd page. Ianobi includes every possible option and more in the inbound route. If your only requirement is POTS use a SP2 inbound route like: {8134219536>(Mli):li},{ph} I won't be available much this morning. If you have questions I'll be back this afternoon.

It is quite confusing to someone new to this device Title: Re: OBI110 with VOIP phone Post by: azrobert on May 20, 2013, 03:19:12 pm There is no way for a softphone to register directly to the OBi.
I did get CSipSimple to work without registration on WiFi, but others couldn't get it to work on a mobile network. I don't have a data plan for my phone. Even if you could get it to work there is no way to route inbound calls to it outside your LAN. See starting with reply #26 on the same thread. You could try OBiHai's OBiON app, but people find it buggy with poor quality audio. It's a much easier install. http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=47.0 Title: Re: OBI110 with VOIP phone Post by: delaney on May 21, 2013, 05:24:55 am So basically I either need a third party SIP account, or an Astrix server?
One other question I have is, how do I get a UK phone to actually work with this thing? I get no dial tone when I plug a phone in. Title: Re: OBI110 with VOIP phone Post by: ianobi on May 21, 2013, 07:43:46 am To use a UK phone you need to make sure that you have the correct 431A socket to RJ11 plug adapter. Something like this:
http://soho66.co.uk/7369/all/1/RJ11---BT-Adapter-(with-Ring-Capacitor).aspx The ring capacitor is needed for some older 3-wire phones. Most modern UK phones are 2-wire. With or without the capacitor you should get dial tone if the adapter connects pins 2 and 5 of the UK style 431A socket to pins 2 and 3 of the US style RJ11 plug. |
