Hoping somebody has an idea how I can solve this issue. I have an Obi100 using Google Voice & xlink bttn gateway.
The obi phone line is connected to the bttn landline and a cellphone is hooked via bluetooth to the bttn as my backup.
The issue I am having is when the internet goes down (frequently) the obi still makes a dial tone and the bttn thinks it is working. As a result, all calls get routed to the obi and I get a busy signal once I try to dial and nobody can make outbound calls (unless they force the call to the bt phone).
Is there a way to make the obi turn off the dial tone if no internet connection is available? Trying to avoid having to manually enter a number then {flash} to put the bttn in the right mode. Thanks!
I think there is no way to do that on the OBi. It will give dial tone even with the ethernet cable unplugged.
Maybe something like a RaspberryPi which periodically pings a WAN server and on failure removes power to the OBi.
