Emergency need for Obi200 SLIC bypass
n4mwd:
A hurricane is coming.
I have an Obi200 which was working flawlessly with the USB Bluetooth connection to a dedicated cell phone. It was also registered to my VOIP provider. If the internet connection went down for any reason, the VOIP provider would forward calls to the cell phone and the Obi200 would pick them up on Bluetooth and send the call to the handsets. Making calls worked similarly when the net was down.
Like I said, it WAS working flawlessly. The other day, we seem to have been either hit by lightning or a surge or some sort. The obi and most of the modem and router stuff are on a DC isolated power supply. Several items on the RJ-45 network lines were blown out as well.
The OBI200 seems perfectly fine except that the line voltage is zero which means that there is no connection to the handsets. Rebooting and such do nothing. I have ordered an OBI302 as a replacement, but it will not get here until after the hurricane hits on monday.
THE QUESTION
I have a grandstream that I am using temporarily until the new Obi comes. I need the Bluetooth function to work. Is there any way to make the OBI connect to the cell phone via Bluetooth and then somehow relay to the grandstream for SLIC connection to the handsets. The solution can rely on a local network, but not anything on the Internet. Is this even possible?
SECOND QUESTION
Can the OBI200 be fixed? Is there maybe a little fuse in there or something?
The hurricane is expected to hit between Sunday and Monday about 2pm.
SteveInWA:
No, you cannot repair the 200. It's not a fuse issue. The SLIC is a self-contained, large-scale IC, which is not user replaceable.
Why did you order a 302? I hope you realize that it a) can't support Google Voice, and b) unless you bought it from an authorized reseller as new, it might be locked to a previous service provider. This product is primarily intended to be sold by service providers, locked to their service, and not sold at retail.
It's not worth the time to dink around with your kludge solution. You have a f-ing hurricane coming. Use that time to get ready, and if it hits, just use your cell phone, you know, like a cell phone.
Sometimes, a technology "just because I can" solution isn't worth it.

OBi200
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile D SIP -> ProxyServer: 127.0.0.1
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile D SIP -> X_SpoofCallerID: Checked
Voice Services -> SP4 Service -> X_ServProvProfile: D
Voice Services -> SP4 Service -> AuthUserName: OBi200
Voice Services -> SP4 Service -> X_RegisterEnable: (unchecked)
Voice Services -> SP4 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute: bt
Voice Services -> SP4 Service -> X_UserAgentPort: 5063
Voice Services -> OBiBlueTooth1 -> InboundCallRoute: sp4(grandstream@xx.xx.xx.xx:pppp)
Replace xx.xx.xx.xx:pppp with the IP address and port of the Grandstream
Grandstream
Primary SIP Server: yy.yy.yy.yy:5063
Replace yy.yy.yy.yy with the IP address of your OBi200
5063 is the User Agent Port of SP4
SIP User ID: grandstream
SIP Registration: No
Inbound BT calls will be routed to the GrandStream
Outbound Grandstream will be routed to BT

Thanks, I will try that.
n4mwd:
With this configuration, what happens if the normal registration is working properly and a call is made on the grandstream? Will it route to the BT or go out the regular VOIP provider?
Thanks.
