I'm trying to make the change indicated above, through OBI Expert Configuration.


OBi Expert Configuration (Introduction)

It's a whole lot faster and easier to configure the OBi directly at the IP addressed returned by dialing ***1.

If you configure the OBi directly, you must first disable Auto Configuration:

System Management -> Auto Configuration -> ITSP Auto Configutation -> Method : Disabled

RonR,

Thanks for your suggestions. I was able to configure the OBi through the direct IP address. However, I couldn't "Auto Configuration" under the "System Management" menu. (See attached screen shot.)

Instead, I was able to edit the OutboundCallRoute through the Setup Wizard page. First I deselected the "Default" checkbox for that field. Then I rebooted the OBi and returned to the Setup Wizard page and was able to edit the OutboundCallRoute. (See screen shot.)

Now I just wonder if there's a way to test that 911 works, without making a real emergency call!

Thanks for your help.

IMO you should make a real 911 call -- in addition to stuff at your end, you want to be sure that you reach the right PSAP and they have your correct address.

First, call your police non-emergency number and ask for permission.  They will probably tell you what is a good time of day when emergency traffic is light.  When you call 911, immediately tell the dispatcher that this is not an emergency and you are just testing.  Confirm that you reached the right agency.  Have them confirm that your number and physical address are displayed correctly.  Thank them.

Also, set up your OBI so toll-free calls go via Callcentric.  You can route them via SIPBroker if you want them to be free.  That way, your CC account will get some regular use, so you can be confident that it will be available should you ever need it in an emergency.
