Synchronization of device configuration with OBiTalk and OBiExpert Configuration

I *wish* there was a way of maintaining separate speed dials for each device
I have separate speed dials because I configure my OBi's locally, but this is not a viable option for you.
You could create your own 3 digit speed numbers. Define a User Defined DigitMap ud1 as:
(<100:8005551212>|<101:8005551313>|..........)
Add rule (Mud1)| to the phone digit map.
You can use the same technique to create 1 or 2 digit speed numbers, but the corresponding real Speed Dial number must be blank.

Thanks for the suggestion, Robert. I basically follow your protocol of keeping ObiTalk.com locked out of my own OBi and administering it via its LAN web interface. Thus, I maintain my own speed dials that way and the only one in the ObiTalk.com pool that I leave set is #1, which is permanently set to the soft phone number. In a way, I suppose there's little need for anything more, as the external OBis I maintain belong to people who are not VoIP-literate and don't want to venture into the programming side of things, even for this. Rather, they generally use the speed-dial facility in their phones and are happy with that approach.
I see you've crossed out your statement in your last comment to the effect that the corresponding Speed Dials must be blank, so can we infer that your User Defined DigitMap takes precedence over the Speed Dials?

The Speed Dial processing takes place between the DigitMap and the OutboundCallRoute processing. What I suggested actually changes the dialed number to 10 digits in the DigitMap, so the OBi won't recognize it as a speed dial. If you want to send 1 or 2 digits to the service provider then you must blank the corresponding speed dial.

Robert, one final question concerning your earlier code for getting AA2 access: In the OBi Device Admin Guide, on page 181, they have a section entitled "Using Speed Dial Number as Ad Hoc Gateway". My reading of this section is that if I have a speed dial (say "8") set to an OBi number, and have that OBi set up to send "0" to AA2, then I can touch tone in "8*0" from my OBi and it should connect me to the AA2 on the remote device. However, this doesn't work on my OBi; My OBi is sending the entire "8*0" string to my Primary Line. Should it work?
azrobert:
I'm not sure what you mean by "if I have a speed dial (say "8") set to an OBi number".
The speed dial should be in the format of pp(OBi_num) or **9OBi_num
I never tried just the OBi number.
In any case I don't think the call should be routed to the primary line.
You need phone digit map rule [1-9]x?*(Mpli)
and phone outbound route rule {([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp}
