This feature enables the use of the PHONE port to connect to a PA / paging system.

http://www.obihai.com/OBiAdminGuide.htm#_Toc304466388

Using the OBi as a Paging System
You may connect the OBi PHONE port to an external PA system via an RJ11-to-Line-Out connector (available at many poular electronics shops), and enable the PHONE port option UseForPagingOnly. In this configuration, the phone port is expected to be “off-hook” all the time.  The OBi will automatically answer incoming calls.  It will not accept call-waiting. When the phone port goes from on-hook to off-hook, in case the user needs to dial * * * to invoke the IVR, the OBi will play a dial tone for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds the OBi will turn silent and be ready to accept an incoming call to page.

[Edit] Reference to RJ45 changed to RJ11.

An RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet connections.  It ain't gonna plug into the PHONE Port (and live to tell about it anyway).   :)

You'll want an RJ11-to-Line-Out connector to plug into the PHONE Port.

ShermanObi,

I think this part of the admin guide is incorrect. You can make 2 outgoing calls using the hook flash with just one GV account.

Google Voice™ Service

OBi device includes a native implementation of the Google Talk™ (XMPP) protocol that allows the user to use the Google Voice™ communications service as the SP1 or SP2 service. To enable Google Voice as the SP1 or SP2 service, set the underlying ITSP Profile’s General::Protocol parameter to “Google Voice” (the default value of this parameter is “SIP”). Both SP1 and SP2 can be enabled for Google Voice, with a different account on each service.

Google Voice offers a call screening feature such that you must press digit 1 before answering an incoming GV call. OBi device can be setup to automatically do that for you when you pick up the phone. To enable this feature on the device, set  the X_SkipCallScreening parameter to YES (default is NO) (on the device web page, under the SP1/SP2 Service – CallingFeatures section).

Note that the device only allows one call at a time per GV account (2 calls at the same time if you have two GV accounts on SP1 and SP2) and the codec is limited to G711u only for all calls.

Thanks for noticing and reporting the errors.
We will revise the docs.
