obi110 bridge with no Internet?
snblitz:
Can a pair of obi110's be used to create a bridge without Internet access?
I own a large farm which has a private Ethernet network interconnecting the various buildings, but no Internet.
I would just like to take the PSTN and export it elsewhere on the network.
Building 1
PSTN Line <-> Obi110#1 <->EthernetNetwork
Building 2
EthernetNetwork<->Obi110#2<->POTS Phone
Can this be done with no Internet access?
RonR:
Incoming calls from the PSTN Line to the phone connected to OBi #2 isn't a problem. Outgoing calls from the phone connected to OBi #2 to the PSTN Line isn't as easy. The only solution I came up with is to have OBi #2 hot dial the Auto Attendant in OBi #1 in order to place an outgoing call.
After revisiting this, I just discovered that Obihai apparently decided to quietly support SIP/PSTN, SIP/SIP, SIP/GV, GV/PSTN, etc. gateway calling after all. I had previously been told this would not be supported in the current product. This simplifies the problem and makes the whole process totally transparent.
Don't register the OBi's on the OBiTALK Web Portal.
Starting from Factory Defaults...
1. Disable Auto Provisioning in each OBi:
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> ITSP Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> OBiTALK Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
2. Enable SIP in each OBi (SP2/ITSP Profile B):
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> SIP -> ProxyServer : 127.0.0.1
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> AuthUserName : (put anything here)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_RegisterEnable : (unchecked)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_ServProvProfile : B
3. Set Voice Gateway 1 in each OBi to point to the other OBi:
Voice Services -> Gateways and Trunk Groups -> Voice Gateway1
Name : OBi
AccessNumber : SP2(w.x.y.z:5061)
where w.x.y.z is the IP address of the other OBi.
4. Set the LINE Port in OBi #1 to bridge incoming calls to OBi #2:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> InboundCallRoute : {vg1,ph}
Remove ,ph if you don't want the phone connected to OBi #1 to ring on incoming calls.
5. Set the SP2 Service in OBi #1 to bridge incoming calls to the LINE Port:
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {>(Mli):li}
6. Set the PHONE Port in OBi #2 to bridge calls to OBi #1:
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},
{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):vg1}

Wow thanks for the guidance. I will give it a try and let you know what comes of it.
snblitz:
The 2 OBi110s are up and running. Totally amazing.
Though I have to say that no amount of reading the manual would have ever gotten me to the configuration you suggested.
Thanks for the concise directions.

What an absolutely fantastic guide!
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Incoming calls are perfect (although can anyone confirm if caller id is passed across?)
However, is it possible to shut the attendant up and on picking up the phone on OBi #2 just get a dial-tone and allow an immediate call? i.e. pick up the phone and dial 0xxxxxxxxxx
I understand the workaround to allow outgoing calls via the auto-attendant, maybe I was naive to think I could just set-up one as fxo and fxs and it would be totally transparent.
My ultimate goal is modem/fax bridging for these two obi110's.
Thanks again for the great guide, sometimes what sounds simple in theory needs a particular genius to make it happen, as snblitz said, who would've worked this method out from the instructions.
Regards,
flipdee
