Hooking up two OBI devices - 202 and 110

[Hortoristic]

I needed to have more SP's, so I gave away my OBI 110 and got a OBI 202.

Since my TV provider is providing me a free PSTN line, I would like to use them for my E911.  Since the 202 doesn't have a PSTN line, I need to now get a 110.

I've had two OBI's hooked up in the past, but never had a PSTN line in the mix.  Would it be easier to have my home phone plugged into the 202, and forward the PSTN line that's plugged into the 110 to the 202 - or go the other way?  I'm actively using 3 of the 4 SP's on the 202 at moment.

I'm just trying to get 911 to call out using the PSTN line instead of paying for my voip.ms E911 service - and having a dial tone available for those rare times GV is down is nice also.

It feels like routing 911 to the OBI 110 might be sort of easy, but not sure how I could dial a sequence of numbers on my home telephone that would dial out on the PSTN line instead of my default GV would work for those times I wanted to dial out via Comcast instead.

It's the same concept except you route the call to"li" instead of "spx". I believe there are several examples posted on the forum or when you're ready just ask and I or someone else will help.

Would it be easier to have my home phone plugged into the 202, and forward the PSTN line that's plugged into the 110 to the 202 - or go the other way?

I would plug it into the 202. Less routing.

Just put a prefix on the dialed number and then strip it off after the call is routed to the 110. Like 98005551212.


Instead spending the money on an OBi110 another option would be to just plug another phone directly into the PSTN line.

Or buy an AB switch like this:

So I have a 202 up and working great, and purchased a 110 to plug in as I have a free landline from my cable provider and want to stop paying voip.ms for E911 and use Comcast instead.  Currently my voip.ms account is on SP2 on the 202.

I think I just need to tell my 202 OutBoundCallRoute to dial my 2nd OBI 110 when 911 is pressed - if that is correct - is below the right steps?

Do I change the first part of my OutBoundCallRoute on the 202 where the xxx xxx xxx below is the OBI number of my 110?

OutBoundCallRoute (first part only):
from: {911:sp2}
to: {**9xxx xxx xxx}

I would not use the OBiTalk network. The path of the call would be from the OBI202 on your LAN to the OBiTalk server and then back to your LAN and then to the OBi110.

You can set it up to route calls from the OBi202 directly to the OBi110.

Service Providers -> Voice Gateways -> Voice Gateway#1
Name: OBI110
AccessNumber: sp2(192.168.1.110:5061)      192.168.1.110 is IP addr of OBi110
DigitMap: (911|9xxxxxxxxxx|9xxxxxxx)
AuthUserID: hort

Add after the beginning  parentheses of your Phone Port DigitMap:
(Mvg1)|

Add to the beginning of your Phone Port OutboundCallRoute:
{(Mvg1):vg1},

On the OBi110:

If SP2 is not defined, setup a dummy SIP definition like this:

Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> SIP -> ProxyServer : 127.0.0.1
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> AuthUserName : (any userid)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_RegisterEnable : (unchecked)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_ServProvProfile : B

Setup outbound call routing.
Replace your Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute with following:
{(hort)>(<9:1>xxxxxxxxxx|<9:>xxxxxxx|911):li},{ph}

Dial 911 on the OBi202 and it will be routed out the Line port.
Dial 95551212 on the OBi202 and 5551212 will be routed out the Line port.
Dial 98005551212 on the OBi202 and 18005551212 will be routed out the Line port.

Edit:

To fix audio problems do following on the OBi110.

Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> SIP -> X_DiscoverPublicAddress: unchecked

Right now on the OBI202, both Phone1 Port and Phone2 Port have at front of string of the OutboundCallRoute = {911:sp2}

Do I remove this first part of string since I'm guessing your steps will override it or what? Pretty certain that was the magic that was telling my 202 that when I dialed 911 to send it to SP2 which is my voip.ms E911 DID.

Processing goes left to right, so my changes will override the existing 911 code.  I would remove the old code to make it clean.
