Two OBI boxes one Google number.
Judgeless:
I sure this is covered but I could not find it. Can I put the same Google voice account on two OBI boxes? Will it ring them both at different locations? Can I make calls with both?
Stewart:
You can't have two registrations on the same Google account, so IMO you have two choices:
1. Have the "master" OBi register to Google and link to the "slave" OBi via OBiTALK or SIP. The master would fork incoming calls from GV to the PHONE port and the slave, and funnel outbound calls from the PHONE port and the slave to GV. Problems: A failure of the master or its Internet connection would also knock out the slave. The slave would be subject to increased latency, as well as quality issues if the master's Internet connection were overloaded.
2. Have the master register to GV normally, but set up a DID (IPKall or paid) to relay incoming calls to the slave. The slave would have its own GV account for outgoing calls. Problems: Incoming calls to the slave may have longer latency or lower reliability. Calls from the slave would show a different caller ID. If that was undesired for only a few calls, you could set up an alternate route via the master (selected manually or by number called).

I'm a real newbie and was wondering if you could detail this a bit further or point to docs on how to do this through the web gui?
Many thanks,

Vincent,
Configure the first OBi normally for Google Voice on SP1. Then set:
Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute : {200654321>(Msp1):sp1},{200654321:aa},{ph}
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {pp(ob200654321),ph}
where 200654321 is the OBiTALK number of the second OBi.
This will cause incoming calls to SP1 to ring the local phone as well as the second OBi.
Configure the second OBi as follows:
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|<2*>(Mpli))
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine : SP1 Service
User Settings -> Speed Dials -> 2 : PP(ob200123456)
where 200123456 is the OBiTALK number of the first OBi.
The will cause outgoing calls to be sent through SP1 of the first OBi.

Thank you so much for helping me get started with this. Following these instructions, I'm finding that my ph will ring once then then aa picks up. If I continue the call, the second obi will start to ring. Any ideas what's going on?
What I'm ultimately trying to accomplish is:
OBI#1 located at my house has a GV# on SP1.
OBI#2 located at my office has a different GV# on SP1.
OBI#1 located at my house has SP2 to be configured to ring as OBI#2, SP1
OBI#2 located at my office has SP2 to be configured to ring as OBI#1, SP1
Thanks,
Vincent
