Hook up POTS to Obi2182 via Obi212?
azrobert:
Yes, 7 destinations. I never tried it, but I assume you can loop a 2nd time making it 10 destinations.
I don’t expect any delays, but I’ve been wrong before. I only tried looping in a test environment and didn’t detect any delays.
I didn’t read this entire thread, so I don’t know where you’re routing calls. If all the calls are routed to the OBiTalk network then the Maxsessions on OBiTalk must be increased. Maxsessions must be equal or greater than the max number of simultaneous calls on a service. You are routing the call out SP4 then back in SP4, so that is 2 simultaneous calls on SP4. The SP4 default of 2 is OK.

Okay, some delays on the testing while setting up the test equipment....
When using InboundCallRoute to ring other devices, is there a way to prepend to the CallerID data?
I'd like to add the last 4 digits of the incoming line (which I know because it is fixed on a 212) and then the incoming callerID.
That way even the cordless analog phones will know which line is calling.
Why? Few people, cover to answer for each other ad-hoc. Walk away from desk, go into warehouse, talking to customer, etc.
Since I'm sending calls from 212 over ObiTalk network, should be able to do it?
Thanks.

Time you learned how to use a search engine. You are getting towards the end of my free advice to those who make a profit from it. :)

I hear you and appreciate your position. I am perfectly happy to search and read any links.
Point me towards a helpful search engine and I'll use it. LOL. Anything on open internet that has Obi in it yields Obihai and Polycom items, doesn't care what other terms I add. I tried "prepend callerID" "forward callerID" and about 6 other combinations of terms.
So your links and explanations are EXTREMELY helpful and I only ask after investing a significant amount of time trying to find the info first.
But here's something: I find a LOT of lacking info on the 212. I believe you have mentioned in other thread(s) that you don't have one on hand. Others have the same problem getting one.
They have some quirks, which I am compiling and intending to open a How-to thread on the 212, to include what we're doing with them and the tips and tricks we're finding. (By we, it is my daughter (intern) and I, 2-people)
I know that doesn't directly pay you back, but hope it does further the spirit of paying it forward.
An example: The 212 does not support 10-digit dialing out of the box (factory reset, no FW updates available). This area code is old. Some exchanges are local, some are long distance, no 7-digit dialing, no rhyme or reason for Verizon.
So I modified the Dialing Map as follows: Physical Interfaces/ Line/ Line port/ Digit map: (xxxxxxxS4|1xxxxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxx|xx.)
I added the 10-digit rule. Simple, I know, but a real pain.
Should have been 1) plug line from wall into Line on 212, 2) Plug phone into Phone on 212, even with no power allow the relay to connect those ports and do a test call.
Nope. :(
Obi212 didn't connect the two ports. 10-digit dialing didn't work (I didn't know this until after they tried to use it and couldn't dial out). 1-(10digit) worked fine, which is what I tested.
I consider that a gotcha. Some speculate about the relay for the two ports on Obi212. I will be testing another one shortly.
The InboundCallRoute tips are helpful.
All said, I REALLY appreciate the help! If I can return the favor, let me know and how.

I can't get that Map for X_InboundCallingRoute to work for CID modifications any which way on OBi202.
I tried for hours and many combinations.
I removed the ph for testing so the cordless Panasonic would only ring with the single rule.
This is on my personal system, to separate business calls from personal calls. Want to add 1-3 numbers at beginning of CID.
The different ring tones are hit and miss with the cordless handsets.
Any ideas or updates to the 2016 version above?
Thanks.
