Obixxx with PBX software when PBX software is turned off?
N1KMP:
Let's say we have a Obi110 integrated with Asterisk. What happens to Obi110 (and its operation) if the device that Asterisk is running on is turned off?
Clearly the Asterisk functions will not operate but how does the Obi110 operate?
drgeoff:
That depends how the Obi110 is configured. If it is configured to only interface with the PBX, then if the PBX is not operating what do you expect the OBi110 to do?
Perhaps your real question is: Can I configure the OBi110 to do such and such if the PBX is not operating?
N1KMP:
I was trying to keep it simple but maybe that won't work. Maybe what I'm asking is what mode will the OBI110 operate as when the PBX software on another box is not functioning (turned off)? Is that something that can be configured in Obixxx
This is a home application and as such is relatively simple. My initial driver that led me to PBX's, Obixxx's and the like was to manage "Diane at Card Services" of which I get up to 5 calls per day not including the calls I get that are probes or no-connects.
In a simple setup, Obixxx would manage that via AA. But as I look into this I find myself "awash in a sea of opportunity". So I was thinking of using something likes Asterick's AA/IVR functionality to enhance the home's AA/IVR. But then the question arose as to what happens if the PBX software device crashes/freezes or is turned off.
So ... without defineing a more specific application, does that help define the high level question?
drgeoff:
The simple answer is that if the PBX is in the route between your phone and your POTS and/or ITSP, non-operation of the PBX means you have no calls in or out on that phone.
Depending on how you linked the OBi and Asterisk it may be possible to configure manual or automatic fallbacks in one or both directions.
To be frank, I would expect someone who has configured Asterisk and combined an OBi110 with it to have sufficient technical ability to find and implement their own solution.
azrobert:
I don't know how you are routing calls to Asterisk, but I do it using a URI like the following.
SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute:
ph,100@192.16.1.100:5060
Just add the AA like this:
ph,100@192.16.1.100:5060,aa
By default the AA will answer in 4 seconds.
If Asterisk answers before 4 seconds you're good.
You can adjust the AA delay using parm AnswerDelay.
When Asterisk is down the AA will answer.
I did not test this setup.
