Rearranging SPs
azrobert:
You need to keep the SP from registering so the new definition won't be rejected. Disabling the SP will accomplish this.
tvBilly:
Just want to drop a note thanking you (azrobert) again. All went well, everything re-arranged, everything working, including Google Voice.
;D ;D ;D

It's great that it worked, but I've been repeatedly performing factory resets and reconfiguring my OBi phone during testing, and, in about 20% of the time you spent discussing this, you could have simply deleted the device off of the portal, factory reset it, and added it back again, and then configured the SPs, using Obihai's pre-configured settings for each service provider. Speaking of being anal, this would also have ensured that any service-provider-specific settings that Obihai or you may have added previously would have been removed before changing which provider you are using on each OBi SP slot.
I can typically set up 4-6 SPs (GV + multiple CC + Localphone) in about 5 minutes.
tvBilly:
Steve: You're presuming there wouldn't have been extensive changes to all four SPs beyond what the OBi wizard provides, as well as not taking into account all the changes I made to settings outside the individual SP settings (rings, phone sounds, phone digit maps and call routes) that would have been wiped when I factory reset the OBi and the portal. Or is there (yet another) something I don't know about the OBi web provisioning? Would it have saved and restored, for example, all my modified ring sounds and phone digit maps and call routes, after I deleted the device off the portal and factory reset the OBi200? The changes I make outside the SP stuff require much more editing than the SP stuff.
As far as taking advantage of what the wizard knows that I don't, I did. I did everything from the portal and nothing from the local web interface. I deleted GV from SP1 on the portal, disabled SP2 (but didn't delete it yet), then had the wizard set up SP1 for Callcentric. Once the wizard was done configuring SP1, I made my Callcentric changes into SP1 by copying and pasting from the (disabled but) working settings in SP2. I then tested SP1, and when it verified as working, deleted SP2 via the portal. Repeat the same thing for the move of CallWithUs from SP4 to SP2, and then I finally deleted SP4 and just let the wizard setup GV for me in SP4.
I only had to change two things outside the SP settings; Set SP1 to be the default SP instead of SP2, and make sure my Phone Outbound Call route vectored the "x11" group to SP1 instead of SP2. If I had wiped the OBi, there would have been dozens of changes to make.
I only do this stuff once every six months or so, but if I were "repeatably performing factory resets and reconfiguring my OBi" testing as frequently as you are, I wouldn't have been as apprehensive to wipe everything and start from scratch. I was particularly concerned that I wouldn't remember to write down some obscure change I made, and would wind up with the configuration not working the way it did previously. And while it didn't take me five minutes, it certainly took less than a half hour, and was well spent time for me because I learned some new stuff and it all worked the first time.
Plus I like asking questions here, and the answers might be of use to someone else. ;D
Johnny:
I'm with you tvBilly.
I like to ask questions once in awhile too. Hopefully the answers will help myself and others as well.
Keep asking, that's the only way to learn.
Even if it means wasting a little time. ;D
