Need helps to setup Obi110
Hoang:
Hi,
I am new to this stuff. I bought the Obi110 two weeks ago. I added several numbers of my relatives to my Obi110 trusted number list so that they can use their landline or cellular phones to call my Obi110 box, and AA (Automatic Asistance) of my box guides them to call Canada or other US states.
I have 2 smart phones which have Obion apps installed. I put their Obi # on my Obi110 trusted number list but AA doesn't pickup to guide me to dial different landline # in other states. Can you give specific instrustions how to do that.
For example, I have
Obi # of my Obi110 200 111 222
Obi # of smartphone1 290 123 456
Obi # of smartphone2 290 654 321
I want to use smartphone1 (290 123 456) calls **9 200 111 222, and I want AA of Obi110 respond and allow me to call another number from other states.
Thanks,
Hoang

To allow Smartphone 1 (290 123 456) and Smartphone 2 (290 654 321) to use the Auto Attendant of the OBi, set the following in OBi:
Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute : {(290123456|290654321):aa},{ph}

RonR,
Thank you very much. It works. I need to read more.

My situation:
A) Obi 110, B) Two Google Voice numbers, C) Will retain long-held land line & number at cheapest rate, D) Answering machine connected to wall RJ-11 which is the base unit for two cordless phones, E) Second base unit, which can be easily connected to Obi 110, supports two cordless phones , F) Good-old corded phone connected to wall via RJ-11. G) I've been using an Obi 100 for several months, and very happy with performance. H) Three people now using the "system".
Needs:
1) I need to be able to make VOIP call to anywhere in US at any time, and still have an open line for others to make a no-cost call. 2) I'd like to have a phone number dedicated to my incoming calls. 3) Answer incoming VOIP or land-line calls on any phone. (I guess 1 & 2 say I need a line dedicated to me)
Questions:
1) Can I do this?
2) If so, how do I configure my system?
3) Do I have capabilities beyond my needs?
4) What does the "Line" port enable me to do?
RonR:
With two Google Voice accounts configured on an OBi, you have the capability of 4 outgoing and/or incoming calls in any combintion (each Google Voice account is capable of two sessions). The LINE Port is intended to be connected to a PSTN Line, but can also be connected to another device which simulates a PSTN Line, such as an Ooma, ATA, Skype adapter, etc.
By default, all incoming calls ring the OBi PHONE Port. Certain callers can be routed to the Auto Attendant instead in order to make new outgoing calls while still having the ability to reach the PHONE Port. Outgoing calls use a particular trunk by default as selected by the PrimaryLine setting, but an alternate trunk can be selected by first dialing a Service Route Access Code (**n).
You may wish to declare one of your Google Voice accounts (say SP1) as your 'line', giving you the ability to receive an incoming call while on an outgoing call (with the aid of Call Waiting). This would be the 'published' number to reach you at.
The other Google Voice account (say SP2) could be configured for authorized callers to use for placing new outbound calls via the Auto Attendant. Those callers can still reach you by pressing 1 at the Auto Attendant prompt. The Auto Attendant can also be configured to call the caller back if they hang up before the Auto Attendant answers so they aren't charged for the call. Callers not routed to the Auto Attendant will still ring the OBi PHONE Port. You can still use SP2 for outgoing calls by first dialing **2.
Configuring the OBi is the easy part. Deciding exactly how you want it to operate is the bigger challenge. Once you decide, I'd be happy to assist you with the configuration.
