OBi110 and star codes
aloysius:
Hello,
it's been a while since my last visit. I thought I had everything running smoothly, but now I discovered I can't hide my CID.
My telco requires the *67# code to mask it once but if I receive a dial error if I use it.
I tried altering Code 5 in the star codes section, and if I change it to "*67#, Block Caller ID Once, set($Bci1,1)" the number is correctly dialed, but CID is in the clear.
I suspect I also have to change something in the dialplan to differentiate between landline and voip, but I wouldn't know where to start. ???
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

The OBi reserves the "*" as a special character. Ianobi has come up with a way to overcome this. He should be along shortly to explain how.

aloysius,
Let me see if I understand the question :-\
*67 blocks caller ID one time when dialling from the OBi110 using voip.
You wish to send *67# to your telco PSTN line to stop the telco sending out your Caller ID.
If I understand correctly, then there are several possible answers.
Leave the OBi *67 as it is. When dialling via your telco PSTN line start with #, which bridges the phone port to the line port, then dial out using *67# followed by the number.
Another answer is to change the number in OBi Star Code 5 position to different digits, maybe *66, and use that for voip calls. Then add *67#xx. to the beginning of your Line Port DigitMap , so
(xxxxxxxS4|1xxxxxxxxxx|xx.)
Change to:
(*67#xx.|xxxxxxxS4|1xxxxxxxxxx|xx.)
Now, assuming that Phone Port PrimaryLine is PSTN, then any call starting *67# will go to the telco. The DigitMap can be refined if the calls starting with *67# are of a definite number of digits.
I hope I got the question right!!

ianobi,
I thought that you where going to show the @@ thingy that you figured out.
ianobi:
Zappy,
That was more to do with calls via OBiTALK trunks. I don't think it applies here. Although, I'm still not sure if I am answering the right question here :)
