NEED HELP CONNECTING (2) OBI110 FOR REMOTE PAGING ACCESS
ianobi:
I'm not sure what to make of that info. I would expect the latest call in Call History to be "Call 1".
It seems odd that sp2 outbound shows "av@10.100.11.5:5061" when the speed dial is "@10.100.11.5:5061".

The Simplex does not answer ringing calls, but you can go off hook with an analog phone connected to Simplex page port and get Intercom dial tone.
@miteldavid
1) I'm not certain I have understood everything. Does OBi2 connected directly to the PA system work as you expect it? How far apart are these two OBi units? If the analogue phone attached to OBi2 works, can a long extension or cordless phone to your far away location simplify the setup?
2) Another way is to use the OBiAPP on your computer or smartphone, using OBi2 as a gateway. This should also work if your reply is affirmative above.
3) Bridging the two OBi's should work using either OBiTALK or SIP approach. SIP should be more reliable because it has fewer dependencies.
li=PA system connected to line port
a) OBi1=>OBi2 (via hotline or speed dial) using sip uri config
b) OBi2 inbound call route => li
The Paging system solution as offered by the OBi is via audio cable to some amplified sound system. In your specific topology the OBi paging method is not an obvious solution. Also, I think you should make sure that DTMF is used on OBi2 connected to the PA system. You have a full fledged PA system going on there. It seems to act like a co line. Without knowing any specifics you may need to play around with the connect disconnect values to get it right. You might have some luck with the seller or manufacturer. To make things simple you can say you are trying to connect to a PBX system.

Ianobi,
sorry I posted the wrong call history report when I get back onsite tomorrow I will post the correct one's. On another note I programmed Obi110 #2 Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute: {li} and connected Simplex PA access port to line port. I continued to monitor with test set (lineman's analog phone). When calling from OBi110 #1 to OBi110 #2 and rings I can hear from my test set the Simplex Intercom dial tone for a split second hear a burst of ringing, tone or even voltage breaks loop on PA system then call is connected at this point the simplex system is off hook before being connected to line and in this state the Simplex system is waiting for feature access code to be completed. On the calling side I can hear one ring the OBi110 #2 pickup and silence, I tried to dial any Simplex access code but get error tone from PA system instead. Is there any way to get rid of that burst of ringing, tone so it does not break loop on PA system before being connected? Could there be any digits being passed through line port of Obi110 #2 causing loop to break? Thanks!
QBZappy,
1) The OBi110 #2 does not work like I expect. When calling from OBi110 #1 to OBi110 #2 and rings I can hear from my test set the Simplex Intercom dial tone for a split second hear a burst of ringing, tone or even voltage breaks loop on PA system then call is connected at this point the simplex system is off hook before being connected to line and in this state the Simplex system is waiting for feature access code to be completed. On the calling side I can hear one ring the OBi110 #2 picks up and silence, I tried to dial any Simplex access code but get error tone from PA system instead. I connected my test set to phone port of OBi110 #2 when go off hook and dial # I'm immediately connected to Simplex PA intercom dial tone and able to dial any Simplex feature code access page feature. Works like a champ in this scenario. Both OBi110 are about 5-6 blocks from each other. (1) at the School District and (1) at a Elementary School. Cordless would not work for this set up.
2) I'd rather not use OBIAPP but if its the only way to get to work then it is an option.
3) The OBi110 are bridged using easy sip set up with IP and speed dial.This configuration is already set up. l
i=PA system connected to line port
a) OBi1=>OBi2 (via hotline or speed dial) using sip uri config (using speed dial config).
b) OBi2 inbound call route => li
The OBi paging method seem to work better I could call OBi110 #2 call is picked up automatically. after page tone, I was able to get intercom dial tone from Simplex PA system and dial Simplex feature code and access paging feature. The only problem under this scenario when I would hang up the phone the Simplex PA system would remain off hook and waiting for disconnect signal. PA access port is like a C.O. its as easy plugin in a analog phone going off hook getting intercom dial tone and dialing feature codes hang up to disconnect. It used to work when it was connected to Digital PBX trunk port at the school. Now they have a VOIP PBX at district and Per nodes at all school's that dont support trunk ports. I apologize for all my ranting about this set up and thank you guys for helping me out!

Since you confirm that this leg of the connection works, we should focus on the OBi1=>OBi2 part of the equation. I seems that there is something lost in the translation. The PA system is analogue, it likely only understand tones in DTMF. On the OBi2 did you try setting tones to DTMF to 'inband' (Service Providers->ITSP Profile X->General->DTMFMethod)? Play around with these settings and see if it makes a difference. There are also other DTMF and other variable settings in the 'Physical Interfaces' which may neeed to be tweaked.

It just so happens that my home setup consists of two OBi110’s, so I have set up a simulation:
Tel -- #1 OBi - - - subnet - - - #2 OBi ---- XLink
The XLink is a GSM device that has a FXS port for an analogue phone to plug into, then you can dial via Bluetooth connected cell phones.
I find that using a speed dial in this format sp2(@10.100.11.5:5061) works fine and I get the dial tone from the XLink. Anything before the “@” OBi will attempt to send out as tones / digits.
In Call History for #1 OBi I would expect to see:
terminal id - PHONE 1 - SP2
Peer Name - blank - blank
Peer Number - sp2(@10.100.11.5:5061) @10.100.11.5:5061
I went on to the full set up with “hot-line” working. It was so fast that I thought nothing had happened. I picked up the phone attached to #1 OBi and got dial tone from the XLink instantly and successfully dialled a call.
I need to rework my reply #6 as we are now using the OBi110 Line Port and security will have to done differently, which changes to Phone Port DigitMap – working on this now.
The Line Port method is definitely the way to go as using the OBi paging system keeps the OBi Phone Port off-hook all the time holding up the PA system.
Still working on a few items for this setup, but basics are working fine here. There may be a glitch or two to iron out between the #2 OBi and the PA system.
