New OBi202 + OBiLine for us, OBi110 will go to parents
Sophia:
YAY, our 202 and ObiLine arrived already :D I'm setting it up now, and of course I have questions :D
Can I use the same LINE digitMap that I used on the 110? Currently it says
Quote
(xxxxxxxS4|1xxxxxxxxxx|xx.)
and our previous set up was
Quote
([2-9]11S0|<250>[2-9]xxxxxx|250xxxxxxx|<1:>250xxxxxxx|1800xxxxxxx|188xxxxxxxx|1877xxxxxxx|1866xxxxxxx|1855xxxxxxx|1844xxxxxxx|1833xxxxxxx|1822xxxxxxx|<**1>1[2-79]xxxxxxxxx|<**1>011xx.)
What we like to do is dial any 7 digit number or numbers that start with 250 and the free numbers using the landline,
The rest goes through SP1.
Truth be told we'd rather not dial ## first, is that possible?
As always: thanks!

OBi110 - I would stay with this Line Port DigitMap unless you can be more specific about the local six digit number range:
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > DigitMap:
(<**1>00xx.S4|0[1-7]xxxxxxxx|xx.S4)
The rule xx.S4 will pick up the six digit numbers, but will add a four second delay to dialling. The aim of all digit maps is to get an exact match with the number format so dialling delays are kept to a minimum.
OBi202 - I don't have an OBi202. Has the latest firmware given you the option to set:
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Ports 1/2 > PrimaryLine: PSTN Line
If that is so, then you should have no problem simply transferring your original OBi110 setup onto your OBi202. If not, then let me know and I'll post the "mirror image" setup of sp1 as the Primary line.

1. Check the label on the US OBi110 power supply that it is OK for 220 volts. (I expect it is but as my OBi came with a UK PSU, looking at it doesn't tell me what range a US one handles.) You will need an adaptor for the different pin type but that should be easy to obtain in Holland.
2. I believe the reply earlier about calling the other OBi by dialling 9 followed by its OBi number is incorrect. Unless the digit maps have been otherwise crafted you need to prefix with **9.
3. CLI signalling is different in Europe. Try setting to ETSI, v.23 and before before first ring.
4. Line impedance and levels are likely different too but won't be a show-stopper if incorrect. However, if echo levels are a problem you may get better results by using values closer to the proper ones for the PSTN line in Holland (if connected to the 110) and the phone instrument.
Sophia:
This is fun :D ianobi, so far it seems that the LINE setup of our old 110 works with the 202 flawlessly - yes it is possible to set primary line to PSTN :) I haven't changed anything else, it just seems to work. So that leaves only the 110 to set up :D
Ok I have edited the PHONE Port > DigitMap and PHONE Port > OutboundCallRoute to reflect the 112 emergency number instead of 911.
I have also set the Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > DigitMap to
(<**1>00xx.S4|0[1-7]xxxxxxxx|xx.S4)
As suggested. However I'm puzzled about the 4 second delay, what information do you need to prevent that?
As far as I know, all local numbers in their town start with either 4 or 5 and are exactly 6 digits long.
Long distance calls are all 10 digits and all start with a single 0.
I'm not entirely sure about toll free numbers, I've been away for so many years and the Dutch changed their system significantly too. As far as I know, they fall under the general rule as well (10 digits starting with a single 0)
International numbers can be of any length and start with 00.
drgeoff, thanks for the additional information! Funny enough I purchased the OBi110 from Amazon UK originally and it came with a UK power supply. I guess that means the voltage difference won't matter :)
I'm not sure where to set ETSI to v.23, remember I'm only a dummy and I need to be held by the hand with every step. My knowledge stretches to what I wish to do with the OBi but no further, haha! :D
As for your 4th point, that worries me slightly because I won't be able to set it up for my parents in person until the spring. I was planning on setting it up for them here in Canada and ship it over to ask a friend of theirs to hook it up to their system, but I don't want them to worry about echo levels etc... they are almost 80 and they barely manage to dial a number :P
Oh, just had another thought, I might be overthinking this. But if they dial 001250etc (our number), it should go through VOIP. But obviously GV does not use 001, you just dial 1250etc here, I guess it would be the same in Europe?
Another edit: I tried to test this with the OBi110, I dialled a number as if I was in Europe (001someUS#) and Google Voice told me "the number cannot be completed as dialled". Meaning, if my parents dial 001something, it should probably be sent to OBi as 1something.
Ack, this thing is getting complicated!
Sophia:
Ok, how about trying to simplify this :D
ALL calls of any digit length should be done through PSTN, except
Numbers starting with 001etc,
They should use SP1 but dial it as 1etc. (because SP1 is Google Voice)
Would that be easier to set up? :-[
