OBI110, UK PSTN Call Barring
ianobi:
It always looked like a problem between the OBi and the PSTN line. I guess the lesson is to always look for the simple solution first :)
For digit map solutions look for posts here by RonR, azrobert and myself. I don't think we have done any for Belgium so far, but the basics of how to do it are all there. I'm in the UK, so I'm used to changing digitmaps from the North American defaults. The first thing to do is to change the emergency numbers. If you look in the Phone Port DigitMap and the PhonePort OutboundCallRoute, you will see "911". Replace these with you emergency numbers. For instance, in both cases I replaced "911" with "999|112".
If you post details of which number formats you wish to go to which service, then I'm happy to help out with suitable digit maps. There is help here from around page 180 onwards, but not great examples:

ianobi,
Here are the emergency phone numbers that I want programmed for Belgium:
Ambulance/Fire: 100
Belgium Police: 101
NATO Military Police: 065 44 3333
US Military Police: 068 27 5301
Burn Injury Center: 02 268 62 00
Anti Poison Center: 070 24 52 45
Also, is there a way to setup the outbound call route that if I dial a North American number (1-xxx-xxx-xxxx) it routes it directly to my GV?

ianobi:
All of those look possible. Some of the longer numbers might be better put in speed dials. Am I right to assume all goes via PSTN except GV, which is on sp1?
I'll have a first attempt tomorrow, then it can be fine tuned as needed.
ianobi:
This is my first attempt at a Belgium configuration. Using it in practice may show some need for fine tuning! I’m assuming that GV is set up on sp1.
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > PrimaryLine: PSTN Line
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|100|101|112|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>|100|101|112):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > DigitMap:
(<**1>1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|04xxxxxxxx|0[1-3,5-9]xxxxxxx|00xx.|xx.)
Calls route as follows:
100|101|112 These are special cases and are sent direct to PSTN line without being processed by the Line Port DigitMap.
1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx eleven digits, first digit 1, second digit 2 to 9. These numbers have **1 prepended to them. This automatically routes them to sp1 (GV).
04xxxxxxxx ten digits starting with 04 (mobile phones). Route direct to PSTN line.
0[1-3,5-9]xxxxxxx nine digits, first digit 0, second digit anything except 4 or 0. (Landline calls including 0800xxxxx). Route direct to PSTN line. This includes all of the emergency numbers you listed that are nine digits long.
00xx. International numbers any length starting with 00. Route direct to PSTN line, but with a ten second delay as OBi waits to see when dialling is finished.
xx. Any number any length. Routes direct to PSTN line, but with a ten second delay as OBi waits to see when dialling is finished.
There are other “tips and tricks” you may find if you search around on this forum. For instance you may find that you can speed up outgoing dialling on the PSTN line by reducing tone lengths:
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > DialDigitOnTime and DialDigitOffTime.
I reduced mine from 200ms to 80ms and it works fine, but you may need to experiment with that.
You may wish to look at how CallerID is delivered to your OBi via the PSTN line. In Belgium I think it may be DTMF. There are options here:
Physical Interfaces > Line Port > Port Settings > CallerIDDetectMethod
When someone calls you via the PSTN line, the OBi110 delays ringing the phone for around four seconds to try to process the CallerID. This delay is based on North American CallerID method, which is sent after the first ring, so a delay is needed. After getting the CallerIDDetectMethod working, you may find you can reduce this delay:
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > RingDelay
Anyhow, that’s more than enough to be going on with! Let us know how it works out. When we have it right I may post it under a new title “Belgium Configuration” so any other OBi users in Belgium can find it easily.
rizdina:
Thank you so much. I am going to program these in and experiment with some of the parameters you mentioned and will let you know how it works. Give me a week or so to experiment a bit.
