Obi110 and Xtreme Technologies Xlink BTTN Bluetooth Gateway

(1/3) > >>

Konstantin:
I don't have landline at home, but rather have high speed internet (FiOS) and also all members of the family have their cell phones. Trying to make the most sensible phone configuration for home I just ordered Obi110 and Xtreme Technologies Xlink BTTN Bluetooth Gateway, which hopefully help to wire up our cell phones to the mix.

Obi110 works through Internet, but also allows landline connection.
Xlink works through Bluetooth and cell, and also allows landline connection.

Now I got confused - what to plug into what? Shall I let Obi use Xlink as a "landline" (actually it would be cell), or the opposite - let Xlink use Obi as a "landline" (actually VoIP).

If somebody could advise me about the optimal configuration of those two devices together, that would be awesome!

Thank you!
Konstantin

You should be able to connect the OBi's LINE Port to the Xlink's handset port and let the OBi treat the Xlink like a PSTN line.  When you place a call from the OBi's telephone, the Xlink will dial out on the first available cell phone.  Incoming calls from the the cell phones will ring your OBi telephone.

Konstantin:
Oh, I just got an idea - why can't I connect both of them to each other!? I understand that it sounds a little bit as a perpetum mobile, but it does not seem to contradict to anything!

They would just work as a backup to each other. For instance, Obi send all outgoing calls through Google Voice, but in case Internet is down for whatever reason it routes calls through Xlink and its cellular connection. And vice versa. Hm-m?

RonR:
So an incoming call from one cell phone will cause the OBi's PHONE Port to ring, which is connected to the PSTN line port on the Xlink, which does what with it?

Konstantin:
Uh... I'm confused now.  ??? I don't know what would (or should) happen. Guess I should only use Xlink as a landline for Obi.
