PC-initiated Obi110 calls on attached phone... possible?
VulcanTourist:
There are times when I encounter a phone number in a Web page or perhaps in some other application like Thunderbird or Outlook, and it would be rather helpful to automate the process of transferring that number to the networked Obi110 device and initiate a call to that number. Is that possible? Would there be limitations, perhaps needing to pick up the phone and place it off-hook immediately beforehand? Surely I'm not the first person to consider this scenario?
QBZappy:
If you are using the computer, these may work for you. I have used this one in the past (siptapi). Works with versions of Outlook 2007 and prior. I have read that Outlook 2010 needs a reg tweak to make it work.
Use scenario: From the contacts in Outlook press call, it will ring your phone and then dial out.

This addon "Telify" seems to work with Firefox and Thunderbird

VulcanTourist:
I've installed Telify, but when I try to use it:
Quote
No application is installed which registered itself for the used protocol. Please configure a suitable protocol in the Telify preferences or install a suitable application.
Telify defaulted to the skype: protocol, but I tried all of the other choices and all of them produced the same error dialog. Telify requires using the PC as a softphone, doesn't it? That's not what I want: the number should be passed to the Obihai device and dialed.
QBZappy:
VulcanTourist,
You need the OBiAPP+Softphone running to make calls. It works here. Sip must be selected on the Telify pick list. This will do what you want. It will pass number to OBi device using a softphone.
I understand that you want to use the phone. Then this will not work for you.
QBZappy:
I wonder if a physical IP phone+OBiAPP would work. I've never tried it. Configuration for an ip phone and a softphone is similar.
