Using a different ougoing SIP provider with Callcentric

[proteus]

I have SP1 as Google Voice and SP2 as Callcentric to get free CNAM on incoming calls. I want to configure LocalPhone as the outgoing SIP provider on SP2 since their rates are better than Callcentric. Can this be done? I was looking at Voice Gateways but could not figure them out.

[azrobert]

Yes, it can be done with a Voice gateway.
Do you want Localphone to be your primary route or do you want to dial a prefix like "**3"?

What is Localphone's proxy server name?

I would like to learn about both options, at this time I want Localphone to be primary for SP2 but having Callcentric as outgoing allows me to use their (PBX-like) Extensions feature.

Their server is localphone.com (same as the domain name).

Voice Services -> Gateways and Trunk Groups

Voice Gateway1
Name: LocalPhone
AccessNumber: sp2(localphone.com)
DigitMap: (1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|<1aaa>xxxxxxx|011xx.)
aaa = Your local area code
Add any other patterns you need
AuthUserID: Your_LP_UserID
AuthPassword: Your_LP_PW

Trunk Group1
TrunkList: vg1
DigitMap: (Mvg1)

Physical Interfaces -> Phone Port
Add following to the DigitMap
**3(Mvg1)|
It can be anywhere, but add it after **2(Msp2)|

Add following to the OutboundCallRoute:
{(<**3:>(Mvg1)):vg1},
It can be anywhere, but add it after {(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},

Dial **314805551212 to route call to LocalPhone.
Set TG1 as the Phone Port Primary route when you want to route calls to LP without a prefix.
You cannot set a Voice Gateway as the Primary Route.
Pointing TG1 to a Voice Gateway then making TG1 the primary route is a trick to circumvent this restriction.

Worked great, thanks!

I will use a OBi200 (1) SP1 as gateway. If I call from another OBi200 (2) how to ring at attached phone (of 1)?

[azrobert]

The easiest way is to setup a Speed Dial like this:
pp(510111111)

Then dial the speed dial number.
Change 510111111 to the OBi number of OBi200#1

[Shiblee]

Thanks...you reply quite quick...

However, I have two scenario here..
1. Calling through the OBi200 (1) SP1 directly from OBi200 (2).
2. Calling OBi200 (1) attached phone PH1 from OBi200 (2).

How to do it?

[azrobert]

Do you have any outbound trunks on OBi200#2?
In other words, are you routing ALL outbound calls from OBi200#2 thru OBi200#1?
or
Are some outbound calls going out a trunk on OBi200#2?

It will make a difference how you dial the outbound number.
If you are routing calls out both OBi200s then you will need to dial a prefix to tell OBi200#2 to route the call to OBi200#1.

Are the numbers being dialed for the US?
If not what is the format (like number of digits)?

[Shiblee]

It is in Asia, calls are 9-15 digit (Local/international excluding + or 00).

1. OBi200 (1) has a ip telephone connection (SP1) & attached phone PH1.
2. OBi200 (2) has only attached phone PH1.

#1. Make calls through OBi200 (1) SP1 directly from OBi200 (2) attached PH1 to phone network. I need also call to attached phone of Obi200 (1).

#2. All incoming calls  at OBi200 (1) SP1 will be routed to OBi200 (2). I got answer,
Voice Services -> SP1 Services -> X_InboundCallRoute
The default is: ph >> Change it to: pp(OBI200 (2) NO)

Thanks.

On the OBi200#2

Physical Interfaces -> Phone port
Add to beginning of the OutboundCallRoute:
{(<510111111*>@@.):pp},

Physical Interfaces -> Phone port -> DigitMap
Add AFTER the beginning parenthesis:
@@.S3|

Replace 510111111 with the OBi number Of OBi200#1                 

On the OBi200#1

Voice Services -> OBiTalk Service
Replace InboundCallRoute:
{510222222>0:ph},{510222222>(@@.):sp1},{ph}

Replace 510222222 with the OBi number Of OBi200#2

Dial 0 to ring the phone port on OBi200#1
Any other number will be routed to SP1 on OBI200#1

You weren't specific enough on the dialed numbers, so I allowed anything including a plus sign.
@@. will allow any character string.
The S3 after the @@. is a 3 second wait after the number is dialed.
This is to prevent the number being sent prematurely if you pause between numbers.
If you have a phone where you dial the number then press Talk/Send you can change it to S1 for a 1 second wait.

[Shiblee]

Thanks. I am not sure of the digits also as the length of digits are different. I will be working on it later.

[azrobert]

{(<510111111*>@@.):pp}

FYI when you call a remote OBi the format is:
Destination_OBi * Number : OBiTalk_Network
The * and Number are optional
pp is the ObiTalk network

@@. is checking for any dialed number.
If it matches the dialed number (which it will) then <510111111*> will prefix the number with the destination OBi number and a star.
If you dial 0 then 510111111*0 will be sent to the OBiTalk network.


Receiving a call:
{510222222>0:ph},{510222222>(@@.):sp1},{ph}

Format:
Sending OBi number > dialed number : destination

#2. All incoming calls  at OBi200 (1) SP1 will be routed to OBi200 (2). I got answer,
Voice Services -> SP1 Services -> X_InboundCallRoute
The default is: ph >> Change it to: pp(OBI200 (2) NO)

Thanks.

I tested the setup today with ipte.org accounts. for case #2 calls from SP1 (OBi200- 1) forwarded to  (OBi200- 2) but auto attended recieving call. I have changed
Voice Services -> OBitalk ->InboundCallRoute-> ph.

Now, I am getting call but no caller ID. How to get CID?

[azrobert]

The CID should automatically be passed when using the OBiTalk network.
Can you check the call history on OBI200-1 to see if you are receiving a CID.
Does the CID have any special characters like a plus sign?
Some phone will not display CID when it contains special characters.

To access Call History:
Log directly into the OBi using the local interface.
Key the IP address of the OBi into a Web Browser.
Hit Enter
The UserID and default Password are both "admin".
Click Status on the left column.
Then click Call History.

[Shiblee]

Hi,
The caller id was xxxxxx0 (x ->letter, 0->numeric zero). This is a sip call, for initial testing.

[azrobert]

Did you check the call history on OBI200-1 to see if you are receiving the CID correctly?
It should look like this:
From SP1(Shiblee0)
If you are receiving CID please try an all numeric CID just to see what happens.

[Shiblee]

Thanks. I was just going to modify my post, as information was not properly given.

I checked that in the obi200. Obi has the CID.

Anyway.. for routing the call to google chat id what to write at,

Voice Services -> SP1 Services -> X_InboundCallRoute
pp(xxxxxxxxx), ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

[azrobert]

When you use format pp(xxxxxxxxx) pp is the OBiTalk network and you can only route calls to another OBi using an OBi number.

If you have a GV account defined on both OBi200s, then do this:

spn(GV#2_number)

Change spn to the SP number where GV#1 is defined.
The CID received at GV#2 will be GV#1's CID, not the inbound call CID.

Hi, Is there a difference (due to left to right precedence) to enter the code {(<510111111*>@@.):pp}
beginning/end of OutboundCallRoute.

My intention here to use **service route access codes while keeping the rule of 0 to call OBi#1:PH and other numbers to OBi#1:SP1, by adding it end of line of OutboundCallRoute.

Thanks
