OBi1022 announced
drgeoff:
If you didn't get the email from Obihai, details are also at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TEJOYYQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00TEJOYYQ&linkCode=as2&tag=obihatechn-20&linkId=T7K7RE2PKK43MZBZ.
Basically a slightly cut-down version of the 1032.

Looks interesting but it doesn't seem like there's a way to use the phone as a router. I have my home and office lines connected to my Obi202 right now. The only way I could use this phone the same way is to connect the 202 to the Obi1022 I think?
I would love to switch to a SIP phone and maintain my 5 remote phones but this just doesn't seem possible unless I'm missing something?
SteveInWA:
Why do you think you need a router in the phone?
Just use your home router and a switch, and plug everything into the switch.
Ansextra:
I have 2 analog phones lines in the house (both using a SIP provider) going thru my Obi202. One phone line is my home phone and uses 5 handsets. The other is my office line with only one handset. If i were to switch to the Obi1022 I can have both phone lines working but believe I would lose the 5 handsets unless I plug the base into the Obi1022 to convert to a SIP line (as my Obi202 does now). I need the base of the home line to talk to the 5 remote handsets. Maybe I'm missing something simple here? I have a Verizon Actiontec router as well as a Netgear router so ports are not an issue.
SteveInWA:
Plugging one OBi device into the other has nothing to do with how calls are routed over the network.
There are several different approaches you could take to either set up digit maps to route calls from one OBi thing to the other, or, depending on the ITSP (Internet Telephone Service Provider) you are using, you could create extensions on your ITSP account. Each extension becomes a different SIP user ID/password combination, and can independently register on whatever SIP devices you want to use. Callcentric, for example makes this easy. You start with an inbound DID number, then set up extensions, and make call treatment rules to route inbound calls from each DID to whichever extension(s) you wish, either simultaneously, or sequentially. Anveo has similar capabilities.
A third approach would be to set up a PBX and define extensions there, and then register all the devices to the PBX.
