One stage dialling to remote OBi110's voice services in future firmware 1.3
yhfung:
Instead of using second-stage dialling which comes with a lot of analogue DTMF signalling detection problems such as DTMF signal levels, distortions, harmonics, etc due to extremly long distance (more than 10000 kilometers) between the caller DTMF generator and the callee's OBi110 DTMF receiver, is there a simple way such that a person in country A with an OBi110-A can make a remote PSTN call in country B via the OBi110-B's PSTN line installed in country B using a SINGLE digit-string such as
Using the remote PSTN line
**9 + <remote 9-digit-obi-number in country B> + **8 + <remote OBi110-B PSTN number>
Using the remote SP1
**9 + <remote 9-digit-obi-number in country B> + **1 + <remote OBi110-B SP1 number>
Using the remote SP2
**9 + <remote 9-digit-obi-number in country B> + **2 + <remote OBi110-B SP2 number>
OBI110-A and OBi110-B are configured as 'My OBi Endpoints' and other OBi110s non-registered would not have this function.
Since all the information trasmitted from OBi110-A to OBi110-B is in digital form, it does not involve any analogue DTMF signal detection mechanism. Most of people can make remote PSTN calls via the remote OBi110 PSTN line very easily.
If this feature is provided by OBi, I believe the demand of OBi110s will be increased significantly.
Hope this feature can be supported in the future firmware update.
For instance there are many people (500,000) with their families in Hong Kong and working in mainland China. They need make phone via the Hong Kong OBi110's PSTN line.

I am glad to see firmware 1.2 which has the one-stage dialling for remote OBi110 voice service.
However it seems that present method only applies to the primary voice service, right? If incorrect, please correct me.
<speed dial> + <*> + <number of the remote-OBi110 default primary voice service>
How to select other voice services which is not the primary voice service?
May I suggest to use the following method:
1) To access the default primary voice service
Same as above
2) To access the SP1 voice service
<speed dial> + <**1> + <number of the remote-OBi110 SP1 voice service>
3) To access the SP2 voice service
<speed dial> + <**2> + <number of the remote-OBi110 SP2 voice service>
4) To access the LINE port voice service
<speed dial> + <**8> + <number of the remote-OBi110 LINE port voice service>
5) To access OBiTalk voice service
<speed dial> + <**9> + <number of the remote-OBi110 OBiTalk voice service>
6) To access other voice service
<speed dial> + <**X> + <number of the remote-OBi110 other voice service>
The last should be defined by Obihai Technology later.
OBi-Guru:
This is correct, only the primary line is supported with single stage dialing. This is done for simplicity.
Access the AA on the remote OBi to make further calls on other lines.
yhfung:
Using the OBi Programming Language (OPL)
If LINE port is not the primary line (trunk) that you want, you have to use the following method to have one-stage dialling to the remote OBi110's LINE port.
I added the following rule to the Voice Services > OBiTalk Service > InboundCallRoute：
{(caller OBi number)>(<*8:>xx.):LI} ------------------ (1)
Please note that you have to disable the autoprovisioning option on your OBi110 otherwise the settings will be automatically resumed to the orginal settings from OBi portal server.
I used the Zoiper software + OBiAPP to make a outbound call as follows:
<speed dial> **8 + <PSTN telephone number>
Please note the speed dial should be stored by the OBiTalk Portal and not filled in by manual since this feature is provided by OBiTalk server such that ONLY the ''My OBi Endpoints" can have this feature.
The first asterisk is removed by the firmware 1.2 then rule 1 is fired. I am able to make a non-primary line PSTN call using one-stage dialling method.

My Scenario:
OBi box1 is at my place - It is connected to OOMA, and 2 google voice accounts
OBi box2 is at my parents place - It is connected to their Land Line(PSTN)
Both of these boxes are under my user account.
What i am trying to achieve:
Is to call my dads cell phone via box2. I will be calling box1 using my OOMA number. I want to be able to enter in a speed dial number which will simply do all the steps required to call my dads cell phone.
Question:
1) Is it possible for me to set this up via speed dial so that i can connect to box2, and dial out from there to my dads cell phone number?
thank you for your help,
Ajay
