help with planning new setup

I'm hoping that I can get some assistance from those more knowledgeable than myself here.   :D

I am currently getting everything together to port from Vonage to GV.

I have setup a Callcentric account for e911 usage, and ordered an Obi100. However, after further thought, the wife and I would like to get two line capability going so we can both do concalls, etc.

What I am hoping to do is to get a wireless VOIP base station and two new handsets - something like the Grandstream DP715. We would then use the IP phones usually, and I would have the analog port on the Obi going to the normal house wiring for other phones, fax, etc.

So what I am hoping for :


  • Have IP and analog phones use GV primary, and CC secondary
  • All incoming calls are on GV # only
  • CC used for 911
  • When GV line is busy, call is forwarded to CC line


I've looked over http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=1875.0 and http://voxilla.com/2011/02/15/how-to-obify-your-ip-phone-no-asterisk-involved/ specifically, which makes sense to me, but I am confused in regards to how things work with the second CC line.

Why not order the OBi202 and setup using OBiPLUS Lite if you need to use IP phones?  The OBi202 comes with 2 phone port and 4 SIP lines.

Thanks much for the help.

Just wondering - does this sound possible :

Make sp1 GV, sp2 the phone SIP, a VG for CC, and then create a trunk group (sp1,vg1) for the IP phone to hunt for a line off of.

Probably should do as you recommend and save myself some grief though.    :P

EDIT -

Got everything working - two handsets working in parallel hunt group, GV, and CC.  All is well.   :)
