Call Forward, no answer to multiple destinations yet?

Found post from 2012, referring to 2011 info from OBi tech support saying the callforwardnoanswer only allows ONE destination, but hinted that it would support multiples (soon?)

So does it, and how many? Any limitations as far as PH, LI, ob, SPx ?

I'm looking to program a button/speeddial  for use as a night time change on 212.

Scenario:

Day use: OBi212 has existing PSTN incoming, rings PH and 3 OBi phones.

Night use: 212 needs to roll straight to its attached analong phone for answering machine (set to immediate answer at night, so 2-3 rings is usually safe). I changed ring delay PH to 500 (down from 4000)

Problem: I have set the OBi1062's to autoans after 1 ring for intercom usage. At night, one of them intercepts an unanswered call (or could also answer a call automatically before local person can answer). Obi1062's not reliable for changing autoans each night, so must change daily at 212 only.

Proposed: Change the 212 from ring PH +3obi's (InboundCallRoute) / to ring PH, then on no answer 4 rings forward to the 3 obi's (which can be set to autoans for daily intercom usage).

Unknown: Can CallForwardNoAnswer use multiple destinations? (I don't have a way to test it from here at the moment, hoping the 9 years was long enough to get this implemented)

Thanks.

I don't know if you can forward to multiple destinations, just try it. If it doesn't work you can use a hack.

You would set the No Answer Number to:
sp4(0@127.0.0.1:5063)

Much better, thanks.

I'll see if I can change things around here to test that tomorrow. Had 2 defective OBi phones (1062 and 2182) in the past 2 weeks. Cuts things short while still running.

Forwarded ONLY to the first OBi2182. The second number is ignored.
