Setting Up Conditional Call Forwarding
QBZappy:
peacefrogs,
Just in case you need to know. To get the ip of the OBi you can simply use the phone directly connected to the OBi and dial:
***1

I'm so sorry, but I need additional clarification. The only "unit webpage" that I'm familiar with is the page I see when I'm changing the settings of my Obi from obitalk.com when I log in.

CallForwardOnBusyEnable <- Check box should be checked when active
CallForwardOnBusyNumber <- SP1/2(5145551212) some number should be here
CallForwardOnNoAnswerEnable
CallForwardOnNoAnswerNumber
CallForwardOnNoAnswerRingCount
From that page, when I go into "Expert Configuration" I do not see that these boxes are checked. When I try to manually enter in numbers and check those boxes, I get little red exclamation boxes.

Some background reading which may be of interest at the moment.
Managing Your OBi Device Configuration: OBiTALK or OBi Web Page but NOT Both
http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=61.0
You can configure the OBi in 2 different ways. Using the method that you described over the internet using the Expert configuration tool, or locally by using the ip address of the OBi.
I suppose that you can also test it using your cell phone. Pick up the handset (make it busy), call in using your cell phone and see if it gets forwarded to the number that you configured with. Make sure that you dont use the same number as the cell phone that you will be calling in with.

Can you explain to me why the Expert Configuration changes that I made had little red exclamation points? I'd love to be able to just configure it while not next to the Obi (which I'm not right now) but there doesn't seem to be any documentation as to why I got those little error alerts.

OBi Expert Configuration (Introduction)

You need a primer on the Expert tool. Have a looke at the above mentioned link.
Those two check boxes have caused alot of needless confusion for new users. They are not error messages. They are basically a way to force you to activly enable/disable the Expert tool configuration or to pick up and use the OBi unit settings. It is unusual and not intuitive in my opinion.
