That seems a bit strange to me. I thought ipkall was supposed to map the assigned telephone number to the DID provided by iptel. From the above description, it appears that ipkall does not need to know about iptel's DID at all.
IPKall DID's have to be forwarded via SIP URI to somewhere. I assumed you were trying to have it come directly to the OBi, in which case nothing else needs to be in between. I don't presently use IPKall, but I've had IPKall numbers in the past forwarded directly to the OBi with no problems.
Interesting. I didn't know that.
Evidently, I also didn't know what a DID is. The telephone number assigned by ipkall IS the DID, not the SIP address as I had thought.

You can also forward an IPKall DID to an intermediate like iptel and have iptel forward it on to the OBi.
I think that's how I have it configured presently. I thought that was the only way to do it, but you've pointed out an alternate arrangement. I think I prefer my current configuration, though, because, as you've indicated earlier, having ipkall forward directly to the Obi requires that I have a static IP or set up dynamic DNS. Having ipkall forward to iptel avoids this additional step.
Thanks for your help and insights.

Could you please let us know your setup? I have done this with Pap2. The Obi just can not go through.

On an attempted call, what does Call History show? If nothing, what does syslog (with X_SipDebugOption set) show? If nothing, how do you know that the initial INVITE is reaching the OBi?

Simply forward ports 5060 - 5061 to your OBi in your router.
Set the IPKall 'SIP username' to anything (for example, OBI).
Set the IPKall 'Hostname or IP address' to your public IP address or hostname. If SP1 on your OBi is configured for SIP, no port number is required (default is port 5060). If SP2 on your OBi is configured for SIP, append :5061 to the hostname or IP address for port 5061.

Thank you RonR and Stewart's quick reply. After forward the port to Obi address, the call went through, but no sound on both sides. It's no problem if I call Sp1. Any suggestions? Thanks.
