ObiHai 110 and SIP Door Station (Valcom)
hwittenb:
Rick,
With the setup you have, as you say, the OBi doesn't see the "call" from the DoorBell Fon. The controller is between the OBi110 phone jack and the phones. When someone is at the door and pushes the button the controller temporarily breaks the connection between the OBi phone jack and the phones to ring the phones with it's connection.
Do you have anything connected to the Line port on the OBi110? If not, what if you connected the Phone port from the OBi110 directly to the phones without going to the controller and connected the phone line output from the controller to the Line port on the OBi110? Would this work? The line port InboundCallRoute on the OBi110 would then be setup to ring the phone attached to the OBi110 and also fork the call to Anveo to ring your mobile phone, or you could just call your mobile phone without using the Anveo call flow filter. One problem might be the voltage level the controller uses for talk voltage on the phone.

I will be able to test your recommendation first thing in the Morning, since I'm not at that location until then. Just to recap what I'm going to do:
1. I'm going to connect the Phone Port of the OBi110 to the House phones (1-Cordless Base Unit and HP Fax Unit).
2. I will then connect the Output ("To Phones" Port) From the DoorBell Fon Controller to the Obi110 LINE Port (currently unused/idle).
The Line port should be set to the default InboundCallRoute which should be set to ring the phone port ( ph ), so no adjustment should be necessary here. The issue with the "talk voltage" shouldn't be a problem (I think), since the unit was operational with the OBi110 Phone port connected to the Controller ("From TL Company" Port). Will test and report back later. Thanks.

Reviewing the Installation manual you posted it says if you have no telco line connected to the controller you need a special chip inside the main controller ... contact Customer Support.
I think this is because there is no 48v on the Telco line (LINE IN/"From Tel Co") indicating that it is idle.
From page 11/12 of the Doorbell Fon User and Installation Manual
The DoorBell FOn system needs to be hooked up to a PBX system.
• Please use a vacant FXO port instead of FXS. The FXO port is also known as the
CO port or trunk line.
• If there is no telephone company line connected tot eh Main Controller, please use a
N8NC chip inside the Main Controller. Contact your DoorBell Fon dealer or ACNC
Customer Support to order one.

I try the setup as proposed and it did not work. When I switched the lines around to match your proposal and rung the Door Station Call Button, the phone attached to the OBi did not ring. This was done of course without the "N8NC chip inside the Main Controller" installed. What I find strange is if you look at the setup mention in the linked article for the PBX and DoorFon setup ( http://nerdvittles.com/wp-content/doorbell.pdf ), no mention was made of the inclusion of that chip, although the "From TEL Company" Phone Port on the Controller is left blanked/unused.
I'm thinking that I could connect a telephone cable from another VOIP ATA "Phone" Port to the unconnected "From TEL Company" phone port, to provide the 48V to that port of the Controller and see if this would negate the need for a specialize "N8NC Chip". I currently have a PAP2T-NA mounted beside the OBi110, which is connected to my Alarm/Security System Panel and Phone Port 2 is unused on that ATA. Your thoughts (will try in a day or two when I'm at that location)?
Note: All my Internet (Cable Modem, Main Router, Switches), Communication Devices (OBi110), Alarm System IP ATA (PAP2T-NA) and Intercom Controller (DoorBell Fon) Components are centrally located. So it only takes me a few minutes to configure/re-configure.
BTW, I try discussing this with a DoorBell Fon Support person and he was clueless as to what their product is capable of doing or the inner working of their own product.
