2 OBis, 1 SP1, both ring, one out

I am not using Google Voice, I am using VoIPMyWay. Any idea if that service will work directly through Telmex?
I don't have any experience with VoIPMyWay. Maybe someone else does and will chime in.
Dale:
I am looking to do a very similar thing, but I am using Google Voice as the provider...
Cabin and home would each have an Obi box. I presume I can use the same config Ron provided?
Now an added twist, my wife and I each have a GV account, I presume the same setup and be repeated for both SP1 and SP2 on both boxes, thus any call to either GV number will ring at both places... and first one answered will win?
(I only have one box so far, and I will order more as needed)
RonR:
Dale,
Replicating the SP1 X_InboundCallRoute rule on SP2 of the OBi110 should forward incoming calls on either trunk to the remote OBi100.
Outgoing calls from the remote OBi100 will always use SP1 of the OBi110 with this configuration. If you'd like to be able to direct outgoing calls to either SP1 or SP2 of the OBi110, you will have to go to this configuration:
Single-Stage Dialing Through Any OBi Trunk

thanks Ron - it seem you are the champion of this forum - providing answers!
I need to learn the digitmap codes and syntax!
It appear to me though that what your solution does is link the two boxes so that one is acting sort of like a slave for the other (trying not to use works like trunk and bridge as I am not yet clear on those terms).
If so, that suggests to me that such a configuration increases exposure of power and network failures. Say box A is going through the obitalk network to box B at a second location to make an outgoing call. If there is a power failure at B then will it fail?
Is the close tying together of the two devices required to ensure that a call can be answered in either location? If the two boxes in two locations were both set up to work with the same GV account and a call comes in, might it ring only at one and not the other?
(I live and work in two locations and I need the ability to have 2 phones at whichever location I am at, at present I carry my PAP2 between the two locations - it providing two independent lines through ViaTalk voip service)
RonR:
Dale,
Your assumptions are correct.
Communications between OBi's and with OBiON Apps relies on the OBiTALK Service. The OBiTALK Service is an undocumented proprietary protocol running on a server provided by Obihai Technology. Should the OBiTALK Service fail for any reason (network outage, power failure, Obihai's demise, etc.), communications between OBi's and with OBiON Apps will cease completely.
