WIFI-VoIP-PSTN and back

I've hard wired a Gb/s network infrastructure through the house with commercial grade switches; the wifi coverage is provided through a central wireless router and 2 further wireless access points hanging off the wired network at opposite ends of the house.
Oh, that architecture should be good. From your first description I was concerned you were using wireless distribution (WDS) with the multiple access points connecting to each other via WiFi.

I'm also in the UK so finding one could be a challenge with only ebay imports looking available.
Amazon UK is showing OBi110s back in stock at £35 including free SuperSaver delivery.
Fiasco:
Thanks for the tip off. Mine was waiting for me on Saturday and I think I have the basic configuration working:
- lights are green
- ObiTalk shows the device registered
- incoming PSTN calls are routed to Phone
- Phone calls routed to Line
- emergency numbers in rules changed to 999 | 112
- calls made over ObiOne are routed out through the line
Realise this is out of the box behaviour but its reassuring nonetheless! Can I infer from this that my in\out router ports are correctly set?
I'm using a fixed IP address for the Obi - but as a fixed assignment from my router rather than a hardwired static address into the OBI, as I prefer to have IP assignments managed in one place.
Stability of router and internet connection is a concern with router restarts needed every 30mins yesterday but its improved this evening and run for 7 hrs without a problem.
Next step is to start introducing a soft-phone into the configuration, I've got X-lite installed on an old netbook, but that's going to take some reading to understand the authentication and port conventions.
ianobi:
Some people have found this useful:
Change the Ethernet port on the OBi from 10 mb/s half-duplex to 100 mb/s full duplex:
1. Dial *** 0
2. Enter option 27 and press #
3. Press 1 to set a new value
4. Enter a value of 1 and press #
5. Press 1 to confirm/save
6. Hang up
7. Wait for the OBi to reboot
Of course, that's undocumented :)
If your happy with using an X-lite softphone, then fine. Many here have found it difficult to use in OBi configurations. For testing purposes, I would recommend PhonerLite - it's free, easy to use and has a good debugging facility.
When I get time later today I'll post some UK settings to make your OBi more British!
ianobi:
These settings should speed up outbound and incoming calls and generally make your OBi more compatible with British phone systems:
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > LINE Port > DigitMap:
([2-9]xxxxxxS0|0[1-9]xxxxxxxxxS0|xx.S4)
Assumes that local numbers are seven digits. May need adjusting to your local format.
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > LINE Port > RingDelay: 0
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > LINE Port > RingProfile: B
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > LINE Port > DialDigitOnTime: 80
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > LINE Port > DialDigitOffTime: 80
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > PSTN Disconnect Detection > DetectFarEndLongSilence: uncheck
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > Port Settings > ACImpedance: 370+(620||310nF)
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > Port Settings > CallerIDDetectMethod: FSK(V.23)
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > Ringer > RingFrequency: 25
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > Port Settings > Impedance: 320+(1050||230nF)
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > Port Settings > CallerIDMethod: FSK(V.23)
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > Port Settings > CallerIDTrigger: Before First Ring
Let's hope that it still works after that many changes :)
