2nd OBi100 at different location using GV?
rufusputnam:
Hi - Just got my first OBi100 up and working with Google Voice. Nice.
Question: if I purchase a second unit for a different location, can I set it up to have GV ring it there as well?
I saw another post asking this same question with no responses...
thanks...
azrobert:
The following is how it worked when I tested 2 OBi's with GV and the solution to get the other OBi to ring. I don't know if anything has changed since.
Outbound calls work for all model OBi's.
Two OBi2xx - Both will receive inbound calls.
1 OBi2xx and 1 OBi1xx - The OBi2xx will receive inbound calls.
From the OBi2xx you can route the call to the local phone port and to the OBi1xx using the OBiTalk network.
2 OBi1xx's - The last OBi1xx to connect to GV will receive inbound calls.
From both OBi1xx you can route the call to the local phone port and to the other OBi1xx using the OBiTalk network. Now it doesn't matter which OBi1xx receives the call.

So to be clear...if I want both locations to ring, and I already have an OBi1xx, I should purchase an OBi2xx. There's no way to get two OBi1xx units to both ring, correct?
azrobert:
You CAN get 2 OBI1xx units to ring.
Re-read my last scenario.
The last OBi1xx to connect to GV will get the call.
You might not know which OBi1xx will receive the call (power outage).
You configure each OBi1xx to route inbound calls to the other.
If OBi1xx#1 receives an inbound call, it sends it to OBi1xx#2.
If OBi1xx#2 receives an inbound call, it sends it to OBi1xx#1.
Now it doesn't matter which OBi1xx receives the call, both will ring.

Got it. I misread it the first time, even though I thought I had read it twice and understood.
That's why I usually repeat my understanding of an answer, since I've often enough misunderstood... :-\
Thank you very much.
