RonR:
ProfTech,

Why would you want to remove PHONE Port support for?:

1. Speed Dials
2. SP2 Service
3. OBiTALK Service
4. Auto Attendant
5. One-Stage Dialing to Another OBi
6. IP Dialing
7. SIP URI Calling

It sounds like your local area code is 403 and your PSTN provider requires 10 digit dialing for a local call. If this is correct, the settings below should give you the dialing you want without any need to press any extra digits like **1, etc. I am leaving the *** in there just in case you want or need to access the internal settings.

(911|***|#|(Mli)|(Msp1)) Phone port digit map

{(911|<#:>|(Mli)):li},{(Msp1):sp1},{***:aa2}} Phone port outbound call route

(1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx|[011]xx.)  ITSPA Digit Map

(<403>[2-9]xxxxxx) Line port digit map

Please DO NOT follow this advice.  As RonR points out, you will be killing most of the functionality of your OBi device.  This is a REALLY bad suggestion.

MichiganTelephone:
You know, I have a strong visceral negative reaction to guys like you.  You just ASSUME that the customer will never want to use certain features of the device he bought and paid for, so you cavalierly remove them just so it won't confuse him.  In doing so, you treat "the customer" like an idiot.

If you know what you are doing, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to cripple existing functionality.  You can give the customer the dial patterns he is used to, and still leave the other features available in case he someday decides he wants to use one of those features.  Unless you can predict the future, you have no way of knowing that he won't ever want to use the OBiTALK network, for example.

If you don't know what you are doing, then you have no business setting up these devices for others, especially if they're the ones paying for the devices. And you CERTAINLY have no business giving such bad advice in this forum.

Darin:
Thanks everyone for your help. We don't want to cripple any functionality and I apologize for not being more clear. We're new to this device and I've been reading the forum like crazy to figure out how to make it work for our needs, which are:

1. We want 7 digit dialing via PSTN with 403 area code.
2. We want 10 digit dialing, 011, and all other area codes to go via GV. We don't want to dial 1+10 digits.

I tried this:

 Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap::

(<403>xxxxxxx|403xxxxxxx|<**1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|<**1>011xx.)

The 7 digit 403 calls work fine but 10 digit calls get an error recording from the PSTN telco.

Just as a sanity check, when you first pick up the phone, press # to get a dial tone direct from the telco and then try dialing your ten digit number and see if you get the same recording,  It may be that your phone company requires 11 digit dialing (although that would be strange since you say that 7 digit calls, which are translated to 10 digits seem to be working for you) or it may be there is some other problem with the particular number you are calling.

Beyond that, I'll let RonR address this because he and I do things a little differently and since he's already helping you, he would probably have a better idea of what needs to be tweaked.
