ObiHai 110 and SIP Door Station (Valcom)
JustinM:
Total newbie question. I have a pretty easy setup but am having trouble getting things to work. Have read the forums but haven't found a similar setup. Here is what I am trying to do:
SP1: Google Voice- I have this setup and working fine
SP2: Want to setup as SIP to receive sip calls from my Valcom VIP-172L SIP Door Station. My only use for SP2 is to receive calls from when the door station button is pushed.
Can someone please help me with the correct SP2 and Valcom SIP settings to make this work? I greatly appreciate your help! Thanks

This is such a specialized application that I doubt you will receive any help from this forum. I have an Intercom (DoorBell Fon) Hooked to my OBi110, but it is not SIP based. The Valcom VIP-172L SIP Door Station cost anywhere from $400-$500 (not cheap!!) and it the firs time I have seen this product or any SIP based Intercom discussed on this forum. Your best bet would be the Valcom Tech Support (and OBi Support). Or you can try:

If you do get it to work, please come back and share your experience/settings. The nice thing about this SIP base phone is you can possibly answer the door remotely on your Smartphone and/or PC or another SIP device. I think it offers some IP Camera support also. Good Luck and sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Here's a few thoughts from someone who knows nothing about this product :)
The main question is can this doorphone call without registration. I think many SIP devices / doorphones are designed to register to an IP PBX such as 3CX or Asterix. Then they become a registered extension of the IP PBX.
It is not possible for a SIP device to register with an OBi110. If the doorphone can call without registration, then the OBi110 can be set up to treat it just like any SIP phone that can call without registration.
If you have the manual / setup options, then post as much info as possible.

Without registration, do you think a direct IP dialing to the OBi110 SP2 is possible? I'm not sure how this is done using the OBi ATA, but it would be a direct IP Dialing within the OP's LAN. I assume the VIP-172L SIP Door Station would get an IP Address from the Router and the Intercom apparently is configured with a WEB interface.
The OP did not of course provide any information apart from the Model Number or any background information as to why he thinks it would work with an ATA or VALCOM other components acting as a gateway, which is not the best approach when seeking help on a forum.

Google turns up this YouTube video of installing the unit. The video assumes you have an ip PBX like an Asterisk PBX where you register the device as a pbx extension and when you push the button the device calls another extension which is your phone. You make the settings on the device using a downloadable software tool from the manufacturer.

As you know the OBi is not an ip PBX so in order to use the OBi with the device you would either need to use a third party managed PBX where you setup your extensions or you would need to communicate with the OBi using direct ip calling between the units without registration. To do the latter you will need to understand your network and some advanced settings on the OBi unit. The unit also requires a network setup where you provide power to the unit with power over ethernet which means you need to have an ethernet switch or router that will provide that function.
