What about 911?? Your Obi can call a Local Emergency Number when you dial 911

RonR,
At least I do test my configurations before I post them.
What you came up with does not work.
Why don't you help someone figure out the right way it should be, instead of telling them they are wrong, and then posting incorrect, unverified information that you say is right.
I am learning here. And will accept constructive criticism or help.
Did you look at the defaults or did you think I just came up with all that on my own. I took the default information and edited what I thought was pertinent. If 911 was in the call route or digit map pointing to li, then I tried to make it point to an sp.
jimates,
Your response is totally uncalled for. It was not my intent to criticize you and I thought I was giving you help. I did test what I posted last night and I tested it again just moments ago after reading your reply. It does work. It was verified information. It was crafted from defaults with only the first route in OutboundCallRoute changed and DigitMaps left in their original state.
Your most recent post at 08:16:38 AM (last edited at 08:27:37 AM) says "I got it working using a combination of your setting and mine.", but it's exactly what I posted last night, except you used sp2 this time instead of sp1 that you were wanting to use last night. The only change you made was in the DigitMap by moving the position of the 911 rule, but you'll find that was unnecessary and has no effect.
I'm sorry you're having problems understanding DigitMaps and CallRoutes. It's certainly not the easiest stuff to grasp. But please don't take your frustrations out on someone who is spending a considerable amount of time trying to help you.

Something just caught my eye that does need correcting, but it's not germane to the 911 discussion in this thread.
The default OutboundCallRoute I started with was copied from page 34 of the the OBi Device Administration Guide and is missing the '{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},' rule. This omission obviously breaks **8 processing, but has no effect on anything being discussed in this thread regading 911 processing. My apologies for not catching this error sooner.
Default OutboundCallRoute:
{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(Mpli):pli},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp}
should have been:
{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(Mpli):pli},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp}
New OutboundCallRoute:
{(<911:8145255040>):sp1},{(<#:>):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(Mpli):pli},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp}
should have been:
{(<911:8145255040>):sp1},{(<#:>):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(Mpli):pli},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp}

This is something I posted last night, then removed after a few minutes. On reflection I think it might be worth re-posting, except that this time I'm not going to point fingers at any one individual, because I think that there are many of us that could potentially fall into this role if we're not careful, myself included.
I have observed that on far too many forums, it seems like there's one guy who for whatever reason feels like it's his duty to jump in and "help" people with his questionable advice, and he will almost never admit when he's wrong. And once he's started to "help" someone he gets ticked off if anyone else offers advice (especially if they offer better advice than he did). There's been a guy like that in at least two of the major VoIP forums that I can think of right off the bat, and they have been seriously detrimental to both forums. And when you have a guy like that, he can actually drive away some of the helpful people (who know what they are talking about).
Please - don't be that guy!

I apologize. But more times than not your tone comes off as a bit arrogant. I guess maybe it is just me.
I just used sp2 because sp1 is my default and I knew it worked on the default. If I didn't move the 911 rule in the DigitMap I got a busy signal when I dialed.
I am not going to pretend I know what I am doing, but I think I have caught on pretty good considering I never even knew what they were until 3 days ago.
Like I said before, I thought since 911 was referenced it had a purpose in the DigitMap.
I tried so many different combinations and rebooted the Obi so many times i lost track of what almost worked and what didn't. I got messed up when I started getting "no service" or "invalid number" messages. Thinking it wasn't working at all when it was actually going through but not processing the alternate number rule.
I actually thought I had bricked the Obi at one point. The power light wouldn't even come on. Tried a reset but nothing. I had to unplug the power and hold the reset while I plugged the power back in. It came back to life.

Trust me, jimates, it's not just you. We're all relatively new to these units so unless someone works for Obihai support, they have no business coming off like a know-it-all.
