OBi 110 - white list of callers via PSTN in Italy
drgeoff:
giqcass's reply has a tiny error. When referring to a map the entry starts with 'M' so if the name of the list in user defined digit maps is MyWhiteList then the string in InBoundCallRoute needs to be MMyWhiteList. I would just give them the names wl1, wl2 etc and put {(Mwl|Mwl2):ph} in the route.
I already do a similar thing for a black list. Its name is bl and Mbl is in the InBoundCallRoute.

Hi guys,
thanks everybody. I have managed to finally get my hands on a 110 and I did some work in order to localize the setup, mainly reusing materials found on the web for SPA 3102 Linksys device.
The white list works well using user digit maps and labels, but once in a while (4 or 5 calls) a call from a number in the white list is lost, what I mean is that the line status is RINGING while the phone status is ON HOOK and so there is no evidence of arriving call.
When such 'ghost' call comes in the line is ringing but the caller ID is not correct, the Obi simply reports the caller ID for the previous call correctly routed to the phone port. Such ghost calls are not even written in the log.
I strongly doubt it is a caller ID detection problem since I tried rising the ring delay up to 6000 without success.
Any ideas?

update:
- changing phone plug to which the OBi is attached in the house did not help
opened a ticket to Obihai support

Hi *,
after further trial and error, I think I narrowed it down to the DSL filtering.
I have DSL and phone all on the same pair available at any phone outlet in my house and I have one filter for each phone.
This works well and BTW does not harm the DSL speed, but harms the OBi (and only the OBi!) caller ID detection.
I realized when I had a phone attached to one outlet with its filter, I had the OBi attached to another plug without any DSL filter and the caller ID was never recognized. Removing the filter from the phone outlet caused the caller ID to start working on the OBi attached to the other outlet. After that, I unplugged the phone, left the OBi attached without any DSL filter and tried 12 inbound calls in a row from number in white list with no problems.
Of course, I can't live with that because of the noticeable hiss and crackling without the DSL filter plugged. I tried to plug such a filter to the phone plug of the OBi, but with unsatisfactory results (hiss lowered but not eliminated).
Any suggestion, happily welcome.
Thanks

I used to have DSL/POTS setup. I'm not 100% clear on where all the filters are in your setup so I'll just tell you what I did. I just had basic service so I don't know if the other frills would be a problem. I had a single filter on the line side to the Obi110 and no filters on the phone side of the Obi110. No digital noise (hissing) and the phone worked just fine.
