I sure this is covered but I could not find it. Can I put the same Google voice account on two OBI boxes? Will it ring them both at different locations? Can I make calls with both?
You can't have two registrations on the same Google account, so IMO you have two choices:
1. Have the "master" OBi register to Google and link to the "slave" OBi via OBiTALK or SIP. The master would fork incoming calls from GV to the PHONE port and the slave, and funnel outbound calls from the PHONE port and the slave to GV. Problems: A failure of the master or its Internet connection would also knock out the slave. The slave would be subject to increased latency, as well as quality issues if the master's Internet connection were overloaded.
2. Have the master register to GV normally, but set up a DID (IPKall or paid) to relay incoming calls to the slave. The slave would have its own GV account for outgoing calls. Problems: Incoming calls to the slave may have longer latency or lower reliability. Calls from the slave would show a different caller ID. If that was undesired for only a few calls, you could set up an alternate route via the master (selected manually or by number called).
Quote1. Have the "master" OBi register to Google and link to the "slave" OBi via OBiTALK or SIP.
I'm a real newbie and was wondering if you could detail this a bit further or point to docs on how to do this through the web gui?
Many thanks,

Vincent,
Configure the first OBi normally for Google Voice on SP1. Then set:
Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute : {200654321>(Msp1):sp1},{200654321:aa},{ph}
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {pp(ob200654321),ph}
where 200654321 is the OBiTALK number of the second OBi.
This will cause incoming calls to SP1 to ring the local phone as well as the second OBi.
Configure the second OBi as follows:
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|<2*>(Mpli))
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine : SP1 Service
User Settings -> Speed Dials -> 2 : PP(ob200123456)
where 200123456 is the OBiTALK number of the first OBi.
The will cause outgoing calls to be sent through SP1 of the first OBi.

Thank you so much for helping me get started with this. Following these instructions, I'm finding that my ph will ring once then then aa picks up. If I continue the call, the second obi will start to ring. Any ideas what's going on?
What I'm ultimately trying to accomplish is:
OBI#1 located at my house has a GV# on SP1.
OBI#2 located at my office has a different GV# on SP1.
OBI#1 located at my house has SP2 to be configured to ring as OBI#2, SP1
OBI#2 located at my office has SP2 to be configured to ring as OBI#1, SP1
Thanks,
Vincent

I suspect you entered OBiTALK numbers into the OBiTALK Web Portal's Circle-of-Trust, which got all tangled up with the changes I described. The configuration I posted above assumes you simply configured the first OBi for Google Voice on SP1 and then made the changes I outlined. The second OBi was to be configured only as I outlined. No Circle-of-Trust or other configuration was to be done on either OBi.

Start out with a simple configuration on each OBi with its particular Google Voice account on SP1. Do not use any Circle-of-Trust. Then set the following:
200123456 represents the OBiTALK number of the Office OBi and must be set as Speed Dial 2.

Didn't have any circles of trust setup but to be sure I reset all the setting and after I had the same thing happen, I removed the devices from the website admin tool and configured them using the native local-network web gui. Result ended in the same thing where call initially rings my obi(home) and after 1-2 rings AA kicks in, I select to continue to call and the obi(work) rings. Very bizarre.

BTW - does this enable 7 digit dialing or serve some other feature / function? Does it make a difference that I'm testing this configuration on a single /24 network before implementing it into the field? I've tried at the office with both OBI's and now at home with the same results.
So I figured out the issue but don't understand why it was an issue. I have my home google voice number setup to ring my mobile phone in addition to the OBI#1 aforementioned (via google chat). As soon as I disabled my mobile phone from ringing, everything worked perfectly. I then reenabled forwarding to my mobile phone via google voice and everything worked great.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the code. Other than the area code question, everything is working great.

The ONLY way the Auto Attendant will answer an incoming call is if an InboundCallRoute contains an {aa} type rule. I didn't specify any of those, so it must have been the OBiTALK Web Portal putting it/them in.

Yes, the |<1aaa>[2-9]xxxxxx| rule is for 7-digit dialing.
It shouldn't matter whether the OBi's are on the same or different networks.

There had to have been an {aa} type rule in the office OBiTALK Service InboundCallRoute. The incoming call to your house OBi rang the local phone and forked it to the office OBi. After the four second Auto Attendant answer delay, the Auto Attendant answered, cancelling the ringing to your house OBi.
When you decided to remove the OBi's from the OBiTALK Web Portal and configure them manually, did you first reset them to factory defaults to make sure they were starting out clean?
Take a look at the SP2 and LINE Port InboundCallRoute's in both OBi's. They all should be : ph.

I went through the whole route of resetting to factory configurations and starting from scratch. One other variable that I failed to mention was after having the AA issue, and disabling GV from ringing my mobile phone, I *first* dialed my office GV number which rang on both lines. Following that I dialed my home GV number which then rang on both lines. Following, I readded my mobile phone to my home GV number and everything seemed to continue to work.
This is literally all that change from having AA kicking in to stop kicking in. It doesn't make sense to me at all why the steps above would change AA's behavior.
One question: If I wanted to add additional InboundCallRoute, would the syntax follow the aforementioned; e.g.
{200123456>(<+:>(Msp1)):sp1},{200234567>(<+:>(Msp1)):sp1},{ph}ditto with X_InboundCallRoute syntax?
Many thanks again for your solution. Hope others find this helpful.

Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {pp(ob200654321),ph}
where 200654321 is the OBiTALK number of the second OBi.
This will cause incoming calls to SP1 to ring the local phone as well as the second OBi.
Configure the second OBi as follows:
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|<2*>(Mpli))
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine : SP1 Service
User Settings -> Speed Dials -> 2 : PP(ob200123456)
where 200123456 is the OBiTALK number of the first OBi.
The will cause outgoing calls to be sent through SP1 of the first OBi.
Do I append this to what is alreday there?
Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute : {200654321>(Msp1):sp1},{200654321:aa},{ph}
Should it look like this?
{(290856578)>(xx.):SP1},{(290856578):aa},{ph}{300118364>(Msp1):sp1},{300118364:aa},{ph}
I am not sure this is possible. I have two OBI boxes both setup with different Google voice accounts. My goal is anytime some calls my main Google voice number, both OBI boxes ring. When I make a call from either OBI box it calls out using the main Google voice number.
I tried the setting above and when I make a call out on OBI box 2, OBI box 1 ring. Could it be set to just pass the call through?

I have two OBI boxes both setup with different Google voice accounts. My goal is anytime some calls my main Google voice number, both OBI boxes ring. When I make a call from either OBI box it calls out using the main Google voice number.
The following assumes the main Google Voice number is configured on OBi #1 (200123456), the secondary Google Voice number is configured on OBi #2 (200654321), and the OBiON App (290856578) is to make calls through the main Google Voice number configured on OBi #1.
Incoming calls to the main Google Voice number configured on OBi #1 will ring both OBi's.
Incoming calls to the secondary Google Voice number configured on OBi #2 will ring only OBi #2.
Outgoing calls from either OBi or the OBiON App will go out the main Google Voice number configured on OBi #1 by default.
To make an outgoing call from OBi #2 using the secondary Google Voice number configured on OBi #2, use **1 + number.
OBi #1
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {pp(ob200654321),ph}
Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute:

Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine : SP1 Service
User Settings -> Speed Dials -> 2 : PP(ob200123456)
It is working. Thanks for the help. One last question.
The second box does not have a normal ring. How can I get it to ring normal?
Quote from: Judgeless on February 13, 2012, 03:03:04 PM

The second box is ringing due to the call coming in via the OBiTALK Service. If you want the OBiTALK Service to have the same ring pattern as SP1/SP2, set:
Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> DefaultRing : 1
Works pefect. Thanks again
This setup keeps getting better. I have 5 OBI boxes, 4 connected to my PBX.
Line one home number
Line two old business number
Line three the Google number that calls my work cell and rings at home. My new business number.
Line four the wife's Google number that calls her work, cell and rings at home. Her new business number.
The fifth is a box that I can call out (using line 3 caller id) remotely that rings when line three rings.
I can also call into the PBX and dial any extension in the house. Also when my doorbell rings it calls my cell phone.
The last thing I want to do is forward 911 to a landline that my DSL uses. I never use the number and the line is not connected to my PBX. I am not asking how to do this yet. I am still working on a few other things.
This is a great product. I wish more devices in the world were this configurable.
