Dial Tone prompts for each outgoing account

Maybe you're putting the **n in your telephone's Speed Dial and not the OBi's Speed Dial.
To get a new dialtone after dialing **n, modify your PHONE Port Digitmap:
([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))
My default OBI100 phone port Digit Map looks like this:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|911|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))
It's a bit different from the example that you provided.
I added {t=di2} (3 places after the **1, **2 and **9 codes) in the existing Phone Port Digit Map.
I'm getting a new dialtone after dialing a **code manually but the speed dial short cuts for the **codes do not work. There's no second dial tone - just silence.
Is there another way (other than speed dial) to invoke the **codes with a single button press?

That's the same DigitMap I posted except:
|[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|
was optimized to:
|[1-9]x?|
and your DigitMap is missing **8 support.

I haven't found a way to put just **n in a Speed Dial and get it to work under any scenario. Speed Dial's are implemented a little funky in the OBi. They're partly in the DigitMap and partly hard coded into the DMP.

You can shorted the prefix to 2 key presses instead of 3 by editing the Phone Port DigitMap & OutboundCallRoute.
Remove one of the * (*2, *9)
Probably since you don't have a line port you could also assign the # key to one line. Using the second dial tone it would be just like getting the line dial tone on a Obi110.
You could probably even go as far as assigning * to one line, # to another and then the default which requires no key entry.
No, I guess since the * is used to access the AA you can't use it by itself. Unless of course you don't feel a need to access the AA from the phone port.

While technically this works, it gets all tangled up with *xx Star Code features and second dialtones.
For example, *81 gets a second dialtone as soon as you dial *8, and then when you dial the 1, there's a 2 second delay that's not normally there while the OBi decides it's a Star Code feature you've dialed. Very messy and confusing.

Using * and # to get a logical connection to the SP1, SP2, or OBiTALK service doesn't work like # does on the LINE Port. There's special case code on the LINE Port for this to work and that code isn't present on anything else (it really doesn't make sense as only the LINE Port accepts real-time dialing). And even if it did work, you have all the confusion previously described.

Well, as for myself I see no great pain in dialing 2 extra digits to get to where I want to go.
But the OP asked if there was any way to single dial to get to one of the additional services. So if they want to get single press option and give up star codes and the AA, it can be done. Personally I have never used a star code or similar feature on any phone, ever. But everyone's use is different.

It doesn't have to be a logical connection. With the map & route edited, # can give a second dial tone on sp2 the same as pressing **2 does, and pressing * can do the same thing.
And even if it did work, it will work.
You should know that you can manipulate this thing to do almost anything you want. Depending on what other configurations you want to make you could encounter some major conflicts, but everyone's use is different.
And you don't have to give up the AA if you replace the * with another digit you won't use. I could replace * with the digit 9 and get along just fine. But star codes are the only real conflict if you dial the second * fast enough you can still access the attendants.
