Ron (or anybody else...),
I had to modify your post with some extra digits to support 10-digit dialing for my location (must use AC for local calls). I did this by changing the Location1:PI:LP:DM from your settings to my new setting: ([2-9]11|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx)
Can we expand how this works?
I assume the syntax in Location2:PI:PP:DM containing the "<2*>(Mpli)" tells the Obi to prepend "2*" to call the Location1 (based upon the Speed Dial 2# settings). If not, how do ALL Calls get routed to Location1?
To help understand this, and to expand the functionality, it would be nice to see some additional examples based upon this configuration. So, perhaps expanding the complexity may help others understand how to make routing of calls to other Locations.
Example for routing calls to other locations.
From Location2:
All Service Calls use LOCAL LINE port ([2-9]11)
All 7-digit calls use LOCAL LINE port
All Area Codes in (List-1) use LOCAL LINE port
All Area Codes in (List-2) use LOCATION1 LINE port
All Area Codes in (List-3) use LOCATION3 LINE port (extra credit design, TBD)
All 18xx calls use LOCATION1 LINE port
All CALLS NOT listed above, Use Service Provider1 (yet to be configured GV)
List-1: (404|202|650)
List-2: (408|719|720)
List-3: (212|407|666)
I assume this type of complexity could be created. But what about when you have more than 2 Obi Units? Do you need to setup Gateways and Trunks to help define where the traffic will flow? If you could provide the commands for the above scenario, it may help understand the call process flow.
Where is the best place to find information pertaining to the hierarchy of these devices, in addition to the Obihai Admin Guide. Do the O'Reilly books have anything of use? How "standard" are these commands for other ATA devices?
Thanks in advance.
