Detailed Guide to Configure Obi2162 to dial out using PSTN line on OBi212
RodgerDJr:
Thank you both of you!!!!! And thank you for not blasting me but explaining what I did wrong. And helping me fix and learn.
OK let me explain what I am doing. I was adding on to this thread because I thought what they were doing was what I wanted to do, maybe I miss understood what they were doing and tried their solution for myself.
I have a 2182 that I setup 4 months ago. I have 3 GV numbers and I am using SP1, SP2 and SP3 all works great. I even have my Cell Phone connected via Bluetooth. The one thing I wanted to do was to connect my Xfinity Phone to my 2182 but I was told I could only do this if I purchased a 212. So I finally decided OK I want the landline on VOIP Phone (2182). That is really all I want. If someone calls the home phone I want to be able to answer it on the 2182, it would be nice if I could also make calls from this number, but if not no big deal.
I am not using speeddials for anything it was just stated I had to set that up in the post above. I can just select the line I want to call out of and dial, that is not a big deal. Right now everything goes out my main GV which is on SP1. But if I want to call someone on the another GV number I just select the line and dial. most of the time the numbers I want are in my area code so I dial the 7 digits, but I do call Miami would I need a 1 plus area code or just dial the 10 digit number?
I know it seems like overkill, to get an 212 to just route my landline to my VOIP phone, but it I like to play with technology and learn things.
So I live in Palm Beach County, FL so our area code is 561 we do not have to do 10 digit dialing at the moment but that could change. 7 digit will work in my area. I have grown up here we used to have 305 then 407 and now its 561. Give it time it could change again.
All of the setting I found were in this thread and tried to use them, but I see I was wrong, in how I interrupted them. At first I was a little nervous, but after reading the post a few times I felt more comfortable. I did have to reset the phone to factory defaults, but I learned and made a backup the second time, so on my second attempt when it did not work I just loaded the config file.
One more thing and I am not sure it even matters. The 212 just has the landline from the Xfinity Router plugged into it. The other RJ11 from the Xfinity Router is plugged into the house so the home phones/alarm work. I do not have any of my GV number setup on the 212 it is only for the landline. Just wondering if I pick up the phone from the 212 it should stop it from ringing the other phones in the house.
Does this help?

To make a landline call come into the 2182 you merely need to set the InboundCallRoute of the Line port of the 212 to either of these two:
pp(680nnnnnn)
or
{ph},{pp(680nnnnnn)}
Edit: That should be {ph,pp(680xxxxxx)} as I explain in a later post below.
using the 9 digit number of your 2182 instead of 680nnnnnn.
The second is only useful if you have an analogue phone plugged in to the 212. Both it and the 2182 will ring and the call can be answered on either of them.

OBi212
Voice Services -> OBiTalk Service -> InboundCallRoute:
{2182>(xx.):li}
Physical Interfaces -> Line Port -> InboundCallRoute:
ph,pp(2182)
Replace 2182 with the OBi number of the OBi2182
OBi2182
Voice Services -> OBiTalk Service -> InboundCallRoute: ph
Voice Services -> OBiTalk Service -> DigitMap:
(xxxxxxxxx|<212*>(xxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx)|xx.*xx.)
Replace 212 with the OBi number of the OBi212
Dial **9 followed by 7, 10 or 11 digits from the OBi2182 to route outbound calls to the landline.
Inbound landline calls will ring the OBi212 and the OBi2182.

Thank you again for this.
It looks like this worked. I will need to do some reconfiguration I think as some of my key I have on the left I have the persons name and then the number below but the phone number is 561-555-1212 and it will not dial that number. I just need to modify those numbers. Unless there is something I can do with that? This is when I am on the 2182 and I select a number on the left that I saved.
I just made the change, but I do not have much time today to play, so I will try and get to it tomorrow, but I am not sure I will be able to get back to my toys until Monday night.
You both have been very helpful. I am going to create another post as I have some questions about something I want to do and just want to make sure I can do it.
azrobert:
I’m assuming the **9 is causing your problem. You can make OBiTalk your Primary Line then you won’t need the **9 prefix.
OBi2182
IP Phone -> Phone Settings > PrimaryLine: OBiTalk Service
Edit:
Is your programmable key defined as a Speed Dial?
