How can I bridge 2 Obi 110s ? - Resolved!
yiannisc:
Hi RonR,
I figured out, eventually, that the ObiTalk portal was messing it up. I was making changes and then after a while the Obis would reboot and revert back to the ObiTalk Portal's settings. I thought they were faulty. Eventually, I reset both boxes to the factory settings, made the changes you said, and it all works fine.
Thanks a lot!
Any idea how I can make the Obi110 generate tones (dialtone, busy tone, ringing tone, etc.) that match the Greek public telephone system?
My folks are getting confused with the foreign/default ones.
Many Thanks,
Yiannis

See the Tone & Ring Patterns section of the OBi Device Administration Guide.

Hi RonR,
First of all, let me say that I really appreciate your help.
Now, I tried to find some informatino about the Greek tones and al I got is this:
Dial tone: 425@-19;20(.2/.3/1,.7/.8/1)
Busy tone: 400@-10,400@-19;10(.5/.5/1)
Reorder tone: 400@-10,400@-19;10(.25/.25/1)
Ring Back Tone: 400@-10,400@-19;*(1/4/1)
And this:
Dial tone: 425@-19;20(.2/.3/1,.7/.8/1)
Busy Tone: 425@-19;20(.3/.3/1)
Reorder Tone: 425@-19;20(.3/.3/1)
SIT1 Tone: 425@-19;20(.3/.3/1)
It seems that the notation is different than the Obi's. I tried to decipher them to create something that sounds similar, but no luck.
Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge/experience to sort it out myself. Any idea on how to do it? Failing that, do you who/where I can find out?
Many thanks,
Yiannis

If you need to know the frequencies, see http://oc-stuff.com/mergedProjects/manager/locales_greece.htm
Apparently the Greek phone system loves 425 Hz, because if that chart is accurate, every single tone is 425 Hz with the only variation being the cadences!
So for example, the ring tone is given as:
425 - (1.0/4.0) on/off
On an Obi device that might translate to a Ringback tone:
425-18;-1;(1+4)
Similarly, the busy tone is given as:
425 - (0.3/0.3) on/off
Which on the Obi would be (assuming you're okay with the 10 second timeout):
425-18;10;(.3+.3)
And the Dial Tone is given as:
425 - Continuous
Which on the OBi would translate to:
425-18;20
(which would present 20 seconds of dial tone before timing out)
Since I don't know if the tones on that page are accurate I'll stop there, but that should get you started. Note that most U.S. tones are dual frequencies which is why you'll see two frequency/amplitude pairs prior to the semicolon in the defaults, but apparently for Greece all you need is 425-18 (425 Hz with strength at -18 dBm). Of course you could change the amplitude if your parents are used to louder or softer tones.
Stewart:
I've seen a couple of credible sources indicating that dial tone is not continuous. Of course, you know best. If it indeed has a cadence, try
Dial Tone -> TonePattern: 425-18;10;(.2+.3,.7+.8)
