OBi1062 Speed Dial setup help needed
Rhine:
I just got the OBi1062 and really like it. I am having some issues getting the Speed Dial entries working the way I need them. I am using the obitalk website to configure the speed dial.
Here is what I need:
I need to speed dial a number ( which is a conference call line), wait/pause 5 seconds and then enter a 7 digit password followed by the # key. For example: 18771234567 wait 5 seconds then enter 6949693#
Doing that will open up the conference line and I would be all set. However all I can get is the speed-dial to dial the conference line and I don't know how to do the pause for 5 seconds nor sending the passcode followed by the # key. I tried entering the passcode in speed-dial position 2 but the phone tried to use that as a phone number and got a failed call.
Can someone please help?
Thank you,
Jerry

It cannot be done.
The phone number is sent to the ITSP as data in a SIP message. The password needs to be received by the conference bridge as DTMF tones encoded in the audio channel after the call is established. OBi ATAs and phones have no way to change part way through a speed dial number from first to second method of handling digits.

Thanks for the reply.
After some thought, I would think all that is needed is a new action type from the 1st column pull down list of items. Instead of selecting speed dial you could select a new item that would just echo whatever is in the Ext: field and send it over the phone line. So you would need to use two of the speed dial memories - the first one would be the phone number with a type 'Speed-Dial' the second memory would be password followed by a # with a type "echo" so that all the OBi does is send it over the phone line.
The first memory would then connect you to the conference line. You would manually wait a few seconds and then press the second speed-dial memory and it would send the passcode and you're good to go.
That would work, but would require an enhancement to the code.

On an OBi ATA, this function can be done by the analog phone's contact list. Obviously, you can't use an analog phone with your IP Phone, but you can use an Android phone. You would install a SIP Softphone on the Android, define a contact with the pauses and route the call to the OBi1062 via WiFi. If you don't have an Android, there are always sales for No-Contact Pay-As-You-Go devices. I bought an Android 4.4 phone with a 4" screen for $10 and it works without purchasing any minutes. If you want to do this, I'll help you with the setup.
