FXS to FXO and FXO to FXS
Roddy:
Gentlemen,
I'm not completely new to ATAs, but I still need assistance to get the most of my OBI 110.
I previously had an SPA 3102, which I didn't configure myself.
The box was abroad, and I had a landline connected to it and my sip provider was Broadvoice with a 212 number.
In NYC I used to dial my Broadvoice 212 number and after 5 rings, I'd enter a short password and get the overseas dial tone, hence saving a bundle.
Likewise i was able to do the opposite when overseas I'd ask my friends to dial the overseas number to access the U.S. 212 dial tone.
Now I couldn't exactly figure out how to do the same on OBI 110 with the help of the manual!!
I configured GV and it is registered as SP1. And configured SP2 for Voicebuy-long distance provider, and it is also registered.
I also connected a landline and am able to make and receive calls.
Thus I kindly need your assistance to achieve the aforementioned SPA3102 setup on my OBI 110 , which I believe it's as good as the OBI 110, if not even better!
Appreciate your advise & assistance.

The following assumes you want to use GV to send and receive calls.
Use OBi Expert to make the following changes:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute:
{11_Digit_CallerID:aa},{ph}
GV will send an 11 digit CallerID
Physical Interfaces -> Line Port
InboundCallRoute: sp1(Number_to_call),ph
DigitMap: add a rule to match the outbound number
Voice Services -> Auto Attendant
Under Auto Attendant Prompts
Welcome: &pause()
MenuTitle: &pause()
Call the GV number
You will be connected to the Auto Attendant
Enter 2 to make a new call then the outbound number followed by #
Inbound will use GV to call the number supplied
Edit:
You can bypass the Auto Attendant and get dial tone from PTSN:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute:
{(<14805551212:>):li},{ph}
If you want to use more than 1 phone number:
{(<14805551212:>|<14805551313:>):li},{ph}

Thanks for your response. I may not have been able to ask my question in
technical jargon as much as i was Unable to follow yours.
I will therefore try to simplify hoping you can give me direction in the layman's jargon.
I have:
1- SP1 Google Voice Connected (212) xxx xxxx - to make and receive calls within USA
2- SP2 Generic Service Provider Registered - to make International calls - ONLY
3- Physical Interfaces - Line - connected to a local landline +44 xxxx xxxx
What I need to achieve:
1- Anyone calling 212 xxxxxxx will either have me answer the call or will get the +44xxxxxxx dial tone after 4 rings, and after he entered a short pin eg. 0019, to access UK subscribers.
2- Anyone calling +44 xxxx xxxx will either have me answer the call or will get the (212) xxx xxxx dial tone after 4 rings, and after he entered a short pin eg. 0019, to access U.S. subscribers.
Appreciate you guidance.

I didn't understand your requirements and I'm still not sure. Are you at the same location as the OBi110?
The OBi110 has a function called the Auto Attendant. When routed to the AA you will get 3 options (1,2 or3).
Continue the call - This will send the call to the OBi110 phone port
Make a new call - You enter an outbound number followed by a #
Callback - Enter a number and the AA will call that number after hang-up
You can add a Pin to options 2 and 3
You can't modify the 3 AA options, but you can have a custom prompt giving only the 2nd option.
The prompt would say something like "Enter 2 followed by the outbound number then a #".
An inbound call can be routed to the AA after 4 rings, so it can do your option 1 or 2. The AA default is to send calls to PSTN. If you want to route a call to GV, you need to prefix the number with **1. The AA can also route the call by format, so 11 digit numbers can be routed to GV and everything else to PSTN or whatever rules you want to use. You can't get dial tone from the trunk with the AA, you enter a number and then it's routed to a trunk.
OBi Expert is used to make advanced configuration changes. You will need to understand how to use it. This will be different than your previous setup, so let me know what you want to do.

Looks like the OBi110 is in the UK from the mention of a landline +44 xxxx xxxx though there are no UK numbers of exactly that format. Most would need to be DTMF'd to a UK landline as 0 followed by 10 digits.
An understanding of the capabilities of the AA is they key to the OP meeting his requirements. http://www.obihai.com/OBiDeviceAdminGuide#_Toc367543095
