forward/make calls to/from another obi

[bill-cary]

I have an obi200 and an obi100 in the same room.
I have 2 phones, one connected to each.
I have 4 ports used on the 200 with GV #s
How can I configure the 100 and 200 to make and answer calls on the 100 if the phone on the 200 is in use?

OBi200

Voice Services -> SPx Service -> X_InboundCallRoute: ph,pp(200222222)

Voice Services -> OBiTalk Service -> InboundCallRoute:
{200222222:spx},{ph}

Replace 200222222 with the OBi number of the OBi100
Change spx to the SP number you want to use

OBi100

Physical Interfaces -> Phone Port -> OutboundCallRoute:
The 1st rule is: {([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp}
Change it to: {(<510111111*>(Mpli)):pp}

Replace 510111111 with OBi number of the OBi200

Voice Services -> OBiTalk Service -> InboundCallRoute: ph

Explanation:
The OBi100 in above config will send and receive calls over the OBiTalk network to/from the OBi200
To send an outbound number over OBiTalk to another OBi, the number must be in this format:
Destination_OBi_Number followed by a "*" then the outbound number
To send 18005551212 to OBi Number 510111111 this is the format:
510111111*18005551212

Rule: {(<510111111*>(Mpli)):pp}

pp points to the OBiTalk network
(Mpli) points to the primary line/SP1 digit map
Dialed number 18005551212 will match rule 1xxxxxxxxxx in the SP1 digit map and therefore be routed the OBiTalk network
<510111111*> will prepend the OBi number and star before call is routed

Rule {200222222:spx} in the OBi200's inbound route will route calls from OBi number 200222222 to spx.

Thank you - everything works just like I want it. I am basically using my OBi100 as a 2nd phone line on my OBi200.
Perfect. At least the EOL isn't so terminal.

If I setup my primary line (SP1) on the 200 similarly, could I answer an incoming call on the 100 if that line were busy? IE, I guess that would be a concurrent call, does GV/OBi support concurrent calls?

[azrobert]

A GV trunk on the OBi200 will support 2 concurrent calls. If the OBi200 is on an active SP1 call (inbound or outbound) and another SP1 call arrives, the OBi110 will ring and the OBi200 will get a Call Waiting tone. If both boxes are on active SP1 calls, a 3rd inbound call will fail and will go to GV voicemail. If the OBi200 is on an active SP1 call, the OBi110 can make an outbound SP1 call.

@azrobert
Works almost perfect....thanks
One issue. When a call comes in for the 100, the 200 rings once or twice but I can't answer it on a 200 handset. If I try I get a dial tone as if it were hung up by the caller. It then starts ringing on the 100 and I can usually answer it on that handset. The problem is that I only have one handset for the 100.

Can I make it answerable on the 200's?
It is configured as you directed.

thanks
