Are my expectations doable?
MrNetwork:
I was trying to set it up so when I dialed 911 it would dial the 7-digit police phone number.
I guess I don't know how to configure the obi directly (not using the portal). I assume I would enter the IP address but I don't know what the username and password is.
QBZappy:
Log into the IP address by dialing ***1 from the phone attached to the OBi.
The username/password is admin/admin.

The default OutboundCallRoute in the OBi is:
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},
{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
To have the OBi call an alternate number using SP1 when 911 is dialed, make the following change:
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>):li},{(<911:12125551212>):sp1},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},
{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
where 12125551212 is the number you wish to be called when you dial 911.

You will also need to disable Auto Provisioning:
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> Auto Provisioning -> Method : Disabled.

I'd like to be serious for a second here (unusual for me) but when it comes to E911 (or whatever your country uses) emergency services please be aware that the 911 operator may not automatically get your location (i.e. address, etc) when dialing through a voip provider (if the call even goes through to the proper E911 center) that they would normally get if dialed via a traditional phone line. By default the OBi110 appears to route 911 to the LINE port probably assuming that the LINE port will be connected to a traditional phone line. I don't recall giving GoogleVoice personal details about my address. I don't have another voip provider, but in researching callcentric and voip.ms I seem to recall that callcentric pretty much forces you to get their E911 service if you are in the US and E911 service is optional on voip.ms. Just two examples.
I think the authorities generally frown on making test calls to E911 without at least calling the non-emergency number and letting them know what you are planning to do and getting an ok. I'd hate for someone to think they have E911 service and find out in a real emergency that they don't. The sticker on the top of the OBi110 says "No Emergency Calls" probably because of the possible confusion in setting it up correctly (and a room full of lawyers said they had to put it on there).
Just a thought. Now back to my regularly scheduled programming.
jimates:
The "E" in E911 stands for "enhanced", as opposed to regular 911. The "E" means the location of the call is transmitted to the 911 call center. Most services that offer E911 have a separate place to enter the 911 location information instead of just using the account address. This allows you to change the 911 information yourself on their site from within your account.
I also agree that everything with the Obi that says anything about not using it for emergency calls is strictly for liability purposes.
