How do I set it up 'in the Obi directly'?

Thanks for your patience,

Rob.

RonR:
You log into the OBi itself using the IP address returned by dialing ***1.  The default username/password is admin/admin, but the password may have been changed if you added the OBi to the OBiTALK Web Portal Dashboard (the current password should be displayed there).

If you configure the OBi directly instead of using the OBiTALK Web Portal, you must also set:

System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> ITSP Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> OBiTALK Provisioning -> Method : Disabled

or the OBiTALK Web Portal will overwrite any changes you make directly.

Robert.Thompson:
I have 5 options:

SP1 service
SP2 service
OBiTalk service
PSTN Line
Trunk Group 1

To set up OBi to always use the internet on my out-going calls, I should select OBiTalk and check Default, right?

Thanks,

Rob.

RonR:
The OBi makes calls through service providers which you configure on the OBi.

Google Voice is a service provider which you have probably configured on the SP1 Service trunk.

You could put a second Google Voice account or a SIP VoIP provider on the SP2 Service trunk.

OBi-to-OBi communications is provided by a proprietary Obihai server which is configured on the OBiTALK Service trunk.  This allows you to call other OBi's and OBiON Apps using 9-digit OBiTALK numbers.

The LINE Port (connected to your POTS telephone line) is another trunk.

It's your choice which of these is used by default for outgoing calls.

You probably want to select SP1 Service (Google Voice) as your PrimaryLine.

When configuring the OBi directly, you must uncheck the Default checkbox to be able to change the associated setting.  Checking the Default checkbox forces the associated setting back to its default value.
