Can you set up Phone1 <--> Phone 2 hunting on an OBi202?

(1/3) > >>

Koby:
When you set up a provider account on the OBi202, it gives you the option to have incoming calls go to Phone1, Phone2, or both.  If you check both checkboxes and both phones are free when a call comes in, they both ring.

But is there a way to for example designate Phone1 as the only phone to ring unless it is busy, and in that case send the call to Phone2?  Or to designate Phone2 as the only phone to ring unless it is busy, and in that case send the call to Phone1?  In either case I don't want both phones to ring for the same call, I just want the call to fall over to the other phone port only if the selected port is already in use.

There is no "hunting" per se for PHONE1 and PHONE2.
You can setup to ring just PHONE1, and
also set up call-forward-on-busy on the service (SP1/2/3/4), with
ph2 as the destination number:

CallForwardBusyEnable = checked
CallForwardBusyNumber = ph2

(You will need to use the Expert Config page on obitalk portal to add these settings).

I believe for this to work, you will also have to disable Call Waiting:

Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> CallWaitingEnable : (unchecked)

Otherwise, the assigned phone will simply get a Call Waiting signal and the other phone will not ring.

Thank you for the information.

Just in case anybody finds this thread while setting up Obi202, as I did: this solution will not work with Google Voice, which cannot implement CallForwardOnBusy. Too bad.
