Can the Obi212 do it?

(1/1)

jasonhoyt:
I have a specialty "softphone" that I have that makes VoIP calls to a "SIP compatible VoIP internet account or PBX". It's working just fine using Callcentric. The issue I have is when my Internet connection fails it can no longer make calls. I need something that will fail-over to the PSTN. I would even be okay if it gave preference to the PSTN.
So can the OBi212 do the job? I know I can set it up to use Callcentric, but how would I get it to allow a local "softphone" to connect to it and make VoIP, or just PSTN, calls? I've attached a diagram of how I was thinking of connecting things.

Yes.  Read http://web.archive.org/web/20160317011451/http://www.obihai.com/docs/OBi-VoIP-Device-Attach-Legacy-IP-Phone-Workbook-v1-0.pdf.  The OBi212 is almost the same as the Obi202 with one PHONE port replaced by an OBiLINE.

azrobert:
You would register the OBi212 to your SIP service provider.
Register the softphone to the OBi212 as per drgeoff's post.
Setup a trunk group with your SIP service provider and the Line port (PSTN).
If your service provider is not reachable, the call will failover to the line port.
