Stop incoming calls from ringing?

(1/2) > >>

helloobi2014:
I have an Obi202.  Is there a way to set the ATA up so that incoming calls on SP2 do not ring the phone?  I want to use the SP2 service to make outgoing calls only.  Incoming calls on this line are to be routed to my cell phone, but because the line is registered on the ATA, incoming calls are also ringing all of the attached phones.

Any advice would be appreciated.

What happens if you delete the entry for SP2's X_InboundCallRoute ?

helloobi2014:
When I left the X_InboundCallRoute blank, it still rang the attached phones (perhaps even if it is blank, the default is phone 1?).  However, I discovered after posting here that if I enter ph2 into the X_InboundCallRoute field (I have no phones connected to the ph2 jack on the ATA), the phones do not ring.  So I guess that will work, as long as I don't need a second set of phones plugged into the ATA.  Is this the only solution though?

gderf:
Are you sure that change to X_InboundCallRoute stuck after rebooting the device?

Will this be done by configuring "call forward unconditional" in your voip service provider? If so, then the call will never reach the OBi202 and the phones will not ring.

If you are going to use your OBi202 to do the call forward to your cell phone, then post back and I can suggest an InboundCallRoute that does that only and does not ring the phones.

Generally leaving an InboundCallRoute blank confuses the OBi and it reverts to default behaviour, i.e. rings the phones. InboundCallRoute of {} works for a PSTN line, it rings nowhere, but with a voip call the voip service provider sees a failed call as it gets no "OK" message back from the OBi.
