X-lite app does not ring for incoming calls
n-bee-r:
OK I got it.
Is there a way to do CallForward from remote, say from ObiTalk.com. Everyday before leaving to office I need to do call forward on phone connected to Obi device, so that I can receive/answer the calls from X-lite running on my office desktop. Then do the reverse as soon as I'm at home. Can this call forwarding be done from ObiTalk.com or from ObiApp?

n-bee-r,
Your OBi unit is web based. You should be able to access it over the internet just as easily as the OBi portal. In an upcoming firmware version you will have Expert OBi configuration which will give you another way of setting up call forwarding.
I find that there are too many steps to do CF using the Expert way. That really is intended to give general access to the unit for configs.
If you do not have a fixed IP you might need to set up DNS service like this one:
http://www.dyndns.com/ or http://no-ip.com/

I too can call out from x-lite (3.0) just fine but not receive.
I am trying to fork the call to both the fxs port and the soft phone.
I cannot get x-lite to ring an incoming call at all regardless of what I do to the inboundcallroute.So far I can only route the call to the softphone by using the * code *72 **9 290****** . callforwardunconditionalenable is enabled and I can receive calls in x-lite.
When I enter inboundcallroute={ph,pp(ob290******)} OR pp(ob290******) OR PP1(ob290******) for sp1 (bound to a google voice account) then the default setting for the obitalk service is automatically set to inboundcallroute={(290******)>(xx.):SP1},{(290******):aa},{ph} and nothing rings at all. Change both fields back to the default of ph and once again I can make calls from x-lite and make/receive calls on ph.
What to try next? Any suggestions?
jimates:
Voice Service > SP1 Service > X_InboundCallRoute = {ph,pp(290xxxxxx)}
this will send all calls coming in on sp1 to the phone port and to the soft phone number.
At least it works for me.

Jimates ... Thank you for responding to my previous question. It helped a lot to find out my syntax was correct.
I finally realized I was calling from another google when dialing from my cell because it is a g1 with gv enabled.
1)I reset the obi to factory.
2) added it to my obitalk profile.
3) Provisioned sp1 with gv account.
4) Went to obi device>voice services>sp1 service>X_InboundCallRoute={ph,pp(290123456)
5) Disabled GV on my cell phone and called in to gv# on sp1.
The call forked properly. Both the phone on ph port and x-lite 3.0 rang properly.
Then I called again from a gv account. Only the ph port rings
Then I called again from my cell phone with gv disabled. Only the ph port rings.
repeat steps 1-5 using instead the obitalk expert config web page.
Called out on softphone to cell # ... success
Disabled gv on my cell phone and called into gv# on sp1 ... success .. call forked to ph port and pp softphone.
Disabled gv on wifes cell phone and called into gv# on sp1 ... success .. call forked to ph port and pp softphone.
enabled gv on my wifes cell phone and called into gv# on sp1 .. success (unexpected) .. call forked to ph port and pp softphone.
Enabled gv on my cell phone and called into gv# on sp1 ... success (unexpected).. call forked to ph port and pp softphone.
Conclusion: Use obitalk expert setup instead of configuring device directly and call forking feature will work.
Caveat: softphone on obitalk portal shows status of "offline" but works just fine anyway.
Questions:
1) What different settings does the expert config make?
2) What features are available using sip service provider that are not available with GV configuration? (I saw a post regarding this but I cannot find it again.)
