I have a related question. My Obi110 is connected to a landline (Obi line port -> wall jack, Obi phone port -> telephone). If I pickup the phone and hear a dial tone, How do I know that this is the land line?
On the configuration page for the Obi, the box, "Make This the Primary Line to Call Out" is checked for Google voice. Does this mean that SP1 is always the default for outgoing calls and I must press **8 to connect to the landline? I think I read somewhere in the instructions that if the line port is connected, the Obi will always default to the landline. Also, is it possible to generate a dial tone to discriminate between SP1 or landline on telephone pickup?
When you pick up the telphone connected to the OBi, the dialtone you hear is being generated by the OBi itself.
With no **n prefix, calls are sent by default to the port selected by PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine.
Dialing just a # will connect your telephone logically to the LINE Port and you will hear a landline dialtone and can continue dialing through the landline at that point.
When you dial **8 + number (or if the LINE Port is your PrimaryLine), the number will be processed by the OBi and then sent out the LINE Port.
You can modify your PHONE Port DigitMap as follows to get a second dialtone after dialing **n:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]x?|911|**0|***|#|**1{t=di2}(Msp1)|
**2{t=di2}(Msp2)|**8{t=di2}(Mli)|**9{t=di2}(Mpp)|(Mpli))
This example gives the same second dialtone for **1, **2, **8, and **9, but you can choose others from this list:
bu = Busy Tone
cf = Call Forwarded Dial Tone
cm = Confirmation Tone
co = Conference Tone
cw1 – cw10 = Call Waiting Tone 1-10, respectively
di = Dial Tone
di2 = Second Dial Tone
fb = Fast Busy Tone
ho = Holding Tone
od = Outside Dial Tone
pr = Prompt Tone
rb = Ringback Tone
ro = Reorder Tone (same as fast busy)
si1 – si4 = SIT TONE 1 – 4, respectively
st = Stutter Tone
