Make call from xlite/obipc app
RonR:
The title of the post is : Single-Stage Dialing Through Any OBi Trunk
The description reads:
This article illustrates how to configure 1 to 98 OBi100/OBi110 devices plus any number of OBiON Apps for single-stage dialing capability. Any OBi or OBiON App can initiate a call through any trunk of any OBi. OBi's are named #2 through #99, with no OBi named #1 due to Speed Dial #1 being forced to be an OBiON App by the OBiTALK Web Portal.
I'm not sure how to describe what it does more clearly. You're wanting to do single-stage dialing through SP2 of your OBi instead of being limited to dialing through the PrimaryLine only (SP1 in your case). That's precisely what this configuration allows you to do.
It's an example showing three OBi's and their OBiTALK numbers. Given that you have only one OBi, you would only be concerned with the first OBi in the example and you'd obviously substitute your OBi's OBiTALK number for 200123002.
OBi # : OBiTALK #
==== =======
OBi #2 : 200123002
It tells you exactly what to put in various places:
Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute:
{(Mcot)>(Mpli):pli},{(Mcot)>(<*1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(Mcot)>(<*2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(Mcot)>(<*8:>(Mli)):li},
{(Mcot)>(<*9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mcot)>(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(Mcot)>(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},
{(Mcot)>(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(Mcot)>(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mcot):aa},{ph}
Note: Replace pli above (2 places) with the OBi's PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine trunk name (sp1,sp2,li,pp,tg1) as the OBi won't do it for you.
User Settings -> User Defined Digit Maps -> User Defined Digit MapX:
Label : cot
DigitMap : (200123002|290123456)
Note: These are trusted caller OBiTALK numbers. This DigitMap should also contain the OBiTALK numbers of any OBiON Apps that are used (290123456 represents your OBiON App OBiTALK number).
In the PHONE Port and Auto Attendant DigitMap's, change [1-9]x?*(Mpli) to [1-9]x?*@@.
In the PHONE Port and Auto Attendant OutboundCallRoute's, change {([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp} to {([1-9]x?*@@.):pp}
Speed Dial #2 : PP(ob200123002)
Once configured, you can dial from the OBiON App through any trunk on your OBi as follows:
18005551212 -> PrimaryLine
**1 18005551212 -> SP1 Service
**2 18005551212 -> SP2 Service
**8 18005551212 -> LINE Port
**9 200123456 -> OBiTALK Service
This configuration works equally well whether you have one OBi or 98 OBi's in a network. It supports one OBiON App or any number of OBiON Apps. I'm sorry my example illustrating the use of three OBi's made it confusing to you. I hope this helps.

Ron: have tried this in the past and it works beautifully. i think it should be integrated into the obi product feature set itself as it is pretty generic.
gmvolk:
OK, I tried what you said and yes it does work. I guess the confusing part was it was called "single stage dialing", who but a phone person would even know what that meant? :D
I am not sure what you did with Speed Dial #2 : PP(ob200123002), I did not add a speed dial so I am guessing it is not needed. The biggest problem with the Obi, and I guess really any cutting edge product, is that the documentation is geared more towards experts rather than end users. I would hope in the future, that they take all the hard work that users like you have done and incorporate it better into the product.
I thank you for your time and help!
On a side note, if say my wife is using SP1 and a call comes thru the SP2 line will it ring on my pc with the Xlite software? Assuming of course that my pc is running.

Obihai uses the term two-stage dialing to refer to dialing through the Auto Attendant and one- or single-stage dialing to refer to direct dialing without the use of the Auto Attendant. I didn't coin these terms but I use them as that's how it's documented in the OBi Device Administration Guide.

With Speed Dial #2 defined, you would also be able to dial as follows:
2*18005551212 -> PrimaryLine
2 **1 18005551212 -> SP1 Service
2 **2 18005551212 -> SP2 Service
2 **8 18005551212 -> LINE Port
2 **9 200123456 -> OBiTALK Service
This isn't terribly exciting when you have only one OBi available to place calls through, but it's essential for two or more OBi's in order to be able to address a specific device in the network.

It's extremely difficult to document it any other way when it uses a very large set of complex expressions and rules for configuration. Anyone wanting to fully exploit the flexibility and capability of such a device has to be willing to spend a considerable amount of time reading the Administration Guide and getting their hands dirty.

If you'd like to receive incoming calls on your PC in addition to the OBi PHONE Port, change the ph or {ph} rule on each of the InboundCallRoute's to:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {ph,pp(ob290123456)}
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {ph,pp(ob290123456)}
Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute : {ph,pp(ob290123456)}
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> InboundCallRoute : {ph,pp(ob290123456)}
where 290123456 is the PC's OBiTALK number.
gmvolk:
So if I only want to receive calls on SP2 through the PC or normally, would I only change the PH rule for SP2, correct? I have downloaded the Admin guide, I just have not had much time yet to look thru it. I suppose I will, I want to be able to break down those expressions and rules, I like to know what something does and why before accepting them at face value, just have not had the time this week at all.
Thanks
