Master/Slave setup
ctzw:
My first post ;D I have an Obi100 in US which has been configured to use Google Voice (GV). I have an Obi200 in China which uses GV as well. However, Google services are blocked in China. So I am thinking of using Master/Slave configuration between these two Obi devices, so that I can use GV in China. I am looking at this post: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=5076.0
As I am totally new to this, I have a couple of questions based on the info provided above:
1) is the Obi100 (in US) configured as Slave, while the Obi200 (in China) configured as Master?
2) Should SP1 service configured on the Master side or Slave side?
3) Does the post cover all I need to make this work, because the post says "This is the simple version – it can get a lot more complex if the slave OBi has its own service providers."
Your help is appreciated!

The OBi100 in the US should be the Master.
The OBi200 in China will be the slave.
GV should be defined on the OBi100 SP1.
Since GV is not operational on the OBi200, it can be deleted.
If you want to make and receive GV calls in China, this is all that you need.
I would make 1 small change to the suggested example, but both should work.
Slave OBi 200654321:
Do not setup a speed dial.
Physical Interfaces > Phone Port > DigitMap:
(***S0|**0S0|0S4|x[1-9]xxxxxxxxxS0|**[1-8]x[1-9]xxxxxxxxxS0|**9(Mpp)|@@.)
Physical Interfaces > Phone Port > OutboundCallRoute
{***:aa2},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(<200123456*>(@@.)):pp}
{(<200123456*>(@@.)):pp}
The above will prefix the dialed number with the destination OBi number plus and asterisk before sending it to the OBiTalk network.
The example in the link prefixed the dialed number with a speed dial number defined with the OBi number.
Both methods work.

I setup a Master Obi in the US and a Slave Obi in China as you described, and tried to made a call to the Master Obi which is designed to be forwarded to the Slave Obi. However, after 5 rings, the call was forwarded to Google Voice voice box. How can I disable this function?
azrobert:
You want to dial a number in China and have the US GV on SP1 make the outbound call.
Is this correct?
Are you saying when you dial a number in China you hear the GV voicemail prompt?
What number are you calling?
Is it the US Google Voice number?
If you want to call the US phone connected to the OBi100 you need to dial 0 (zero) in China.
Shiguang:
I called from the US to the Master device (SP1 GV) in the US, and wanted to be received by the Slave device (without GV) in China, but failed. I heart the GV voicemail prompt.
