My next question, is there a way to use Obi #2 to route outbound calls through Obi #1. Right now you have to call out from obi #1. When you try to place a call Through obi #2 it just calls obi #1. May not be possible but I think it would be.
The configuration described in Reply #15 above handles placing calls from OBi #2 though OBi #1.
Have you set:
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> ITSP Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> OBiTALK Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
in both OBi's to prevent the OBiTALK Web Portal from overwriting the changes you're making directly?

Or perhaps there is a different way to deal with entirely.
You might do better implementing this functionality at the VoIP provider, rather than trying to do everything with the Obi.
Voip.ms is reported to be implementing "call hunting" soon.
But are you sure that is what you want? Is it multiple incoming channels (with same phone number) each of which will ring a pool of four phones, where the first to answer gets the call?
If so a possible set up (using voip.ms as an example) would be:
Single incoming DID (supports multiple calls) -> Ring Group -> 4 Obis (or 2 SPA2102s) with each phone/extension registered to a different sub account.
* An incoming call will go to the first phone that picks up.
* Phones not in use for incoming calls can make outgoing calls.
* Calls between the extensions are possible
* If having 4 DID numbers (as opposed to being able to make/receive four simultaneous calls) is important, then all four DIDs could all be routed to the same Ring Group.
This isn't rollover/hunting (all phones ring simultaneously, rather than in sequence) but is a practical set up for a small office. (You can also fake a rollover with timeouts).
The Cisco/Linksys/Sipura SPA2102 supports two lines - I think I read somewhere that the next Obi might support more than one line - so might work out a little cheaper.
You might also want to check the VoIP Tech Chat forum for advice.
