OBi110 on local network
bndwdthseekr:
I'm trying to set up my OBi110 to bridge software phones such as MicroSIP or Phoner to a POTS line. I have it working, but there are a few little things I would like to get ironed out.
I'm currently using Phoner on my PC, and I would like to be able to 'pick up' on an active call on the POTS phone line, but I can't do that at the moment. If its possible without a pbx server I would like to use multiple PCs as handsets on the same line too, so I'm hoping there's a setting to enable this.
Now for a phone connected to the phone port, I would like to bridge that to the line port as soon as the phone is 'picked up' or off the hook so I don't have the delay when dialing numbers. I don't need to call any of the PCs, they should all act as handsets for the POTS line.
here's the obi110 Configuration I'm currently using:
ITSP Profile B > SIP > ProxyServer > 127.0.0.1
ITSP Profile B > SIP > X_SpoofCallerID > Checked
SP2 Service > X_ServProvProfile > B
SP2 Service > X_InboundCallRoute > {line1:li},{ph}
SP2 Service > X_RegisterEnable > UnChecked
SP2 Service > AuthUserName > line1
SP2 Service > AuthPassword > (blank)
LINE Port > InboundCallRoute > ph,sp2(0@192.168.2.108:5060)

1. Concerning your first question, VoIP does not work like that. You cannot emulate the way that analogue multiple analogue phones can be paralleled across a POTS line.
The OBi110 can transfer a call to another SIP terminal or bring another SIP terminal in to make a 3 way conference call. Those have to be done manually using hook-flash on the 110's phone. (Consult the Admin Guide in the documents section of obitalk.com.) Perhaps use Call Waiting to notify the person who has answered the POTS call that one of the softphones wants to take the call.
2. Dialling a single # connects the 110's phone to the POTS line. If that is too much trouble and you never want to dial VoIP calls from that phone you could set up a hotline to automatically dial that immediately when the phone is taken off hook. Or you can configure a warm line with you choice of delay before that automatic #. If you start manually dialling before the delay times out, the # does not happen and the manually dialled digits are treated in the normal way. Check the Admin Guide.

There is a feature that allows you to “Barge In” to an active line call, but this only works from the Phone Port.
You dial “*96” (Code29 in the Star Code Profile) then dial “#”. Star codes are only recognized from the Phone Port, so this won’t work from an SP.
I wanted to do this before the BargeIn feature was available. Someone on the forum suggested changing the voltage or current on the Line Port until the OBi110 didn’t recognize the Line port was in use. I don’t remember the details. I was able to BargeIn, but the Line port became flaky and unusable. Maybe you can find the post. If you can get this to work, you would be able to BargeIn from an SP.

Is there a way to signal the SIP phone(s) that there is an active call either on the phone port, or active on a parallel phone on the pots line and have the option to join the call, or is there even a protocol to do something like this?
If dialing # from the SIP would allow me to do this I guess it would be okay, but having the active call appear on hold after an incoming call is picked up or something like that, it would be awesome.
Can the 110 get the number dialed from the POTS phone parallel to the line port? If so can the 110 notify the sip phone what number the call is going out to and notify the sip phone that its on hold, or ring it at the very least?
I'm open to any suggestions, because I haven't really found any information on setting something like this up in this way.

I guess I can't edit my posts :/
Right now I'm getting '487: Cancelled' when the parallel phones pick up a call, but the OBi110 isn't detecting whether or not the line is in use after this. I can see that the voltage is ~7-9v when its in use but the current always shows 0ma. It should detect this condition correct?
