Upcoming firmware will detect the HK PSTN CallerID.
In the mean time, should you need to allow calls from the FXO to access the AA, you may check "All incoming calls answered by Attendant" and rely on PIN to make a new outgoing call.
Please note there are several PSTN operators in Hong Kong. When the firmware, cater for different operators, is ready, I shall ask my friends who have OBi110 to test if the new firmware works for HK caller ID or not.

I have been using SPA3k for years. I am trying to replace the SPA3k by OBI110. What I did (inboundcallrouting Li1 to SP1) is to do PSTN to VOIP something like in SPA3K 2 stage diallingl. The outcome is failed maybe due to HK PSTN line problem.
I am just using free VOIP accounts from VSP. Working happily with my SPA3k.
Well maybe either you or I is not thinking this through, but the reason I asked is that it appears that although you are sending the call to sp1, you're not specifying a destination. So even if the service provider gets the call, you aren't telling them where to send it.
Think of it this way, someone calls you on your PSTN line, The OBi answers and what you are doing is in effect forwarding the call to a VSP, but if they get the call they don't know what to do with it because you haven't sent any kind of destination number.
Now maybe I am having a "duh" moment and just not understanding what you are doing, but I'm just offering this as a possible reason why the call isn't going through. Your VSP may or may not use a CallerID that you send, and if they don't then it's not going to make much difference whether you receive CallerID - they will send the number associated with your account. But a few VSPs (maybe more in your part of the world) will actually send the CallerID that you send, so for one of those it might make a difference.
If you want callers to be able to select their own destination you're sort of stuck with using the AA. If you want to send all incoming calls to a particular number, then you need to specify that number in some way.

I guess what pchow means that whenever there are known and registered caller IDs calling to OBi110 from PSTN line, all the PSTN calls from Hong Kong will be forwarded to SP1 with predefined SIP accounts in other end such as China. Other callers call the PSTN line, the call will not be forwarded and the HK phone attached to the OBi110 will ring.

Yes!
OBIHAI update my unit with testing firmware and my phone can show correct CallerID now.
Thanks a lot OBIHAI.
FYI, my PSTN serive provider is PCCW.
However, there are several service providers in Hong Kong so I cannot confirm whether it will work on other service providers.

Good news! What is your fixed line operator? PCCW, HGC, HKBN or others?
