Using the phone set connected to OBi Phone Port...
Finally found obscure ref to place outgoing call on PSTN line connected to OBi Line Port using '#' [ since **8 refuses to work ].
Unable to find any ref how to answer an incoming call on the PSTN line. That works for me that is.
My set up is std plug n play with GV on SP1.
TIA,
Steve
If you didn't make any changes manually the default call route for the Line should be the phone port.
Physical Interfaces -> Line -> InboundCallRoute = ph
If **8 refuses to work, perhaps there is another problem, or the same, that is keeping the Line from ringing the phone port.
Steve,
There's no reason you should have to use # to access the PSTN Line, losing many of the OBi's capabilities in the process.
Verify your OBi is configured as follows:
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine : SP1 Service
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> DigitMap : (Default checked)
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> OutboundCallRoute : (Default checked)
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> InboundCallRoute : (Default checked)
Replace:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap
with the applicable value for your calling area:
LINE Port DigitMap for areas with 7- and 11-digit dialing:
(10-digit numbers will be extended to 11-digits by adding a leading 1)
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap:
([2-9]11S0|[2-9]xxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.)
LINE Port DigitMap for areas with 7-, 10-, and 11-digit dialing:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap:
([2-9]11S0|[2-9]xxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.)
LINE Port DigitMap for areas with 10- and 11-digit dialing:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap:
([2-9]11S0|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.)
LINE Port DigitMap for areas with 10-digit dialing:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap:
([2-9]11S0|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.)
LINE Port DigitMap for areas with 11-digit dialing:
(10-digit numbers will be extended to 11-digits by adding a leading 1)
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap:
([2-9]11S0|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.)
At this point, calls should go out SP1 (Google Voice) by default. To use the LINE Port instead, dial **8 before the number.
Incoming calls from either SP1 (Google Voice) or the LINE Port should ring the OBi PHONE Port.

Beats me, but using # isn't a big deal in lieu of **8 [ unless **8 doesn't disable any features I need... see RonR's post above ].

Not likely an issue since PSTN has it's own features. FWIW the PSTN is U-verse Voice.
I'm guessing that
**8 doesn't disable features that
# might, right?
As for
#, what is it's function supposed to be and is there a good ref describing this.

ALL PHONE & LINE Port parameters have
OBiTALK Settings checked. None have
Device
Default checked. I presume
OBiTALK Settings is what you are referring to as 'Default'; that right?

[ snip ]
Before we get into changing the DigitMap, here's what it has now.
(xxxxxxxS4|1xxxxxxxxxx|xx.) [ The default I presume? OBiTALK Setting is checked as noted ]
What, if anything, is the above settings supposed to do?
If suggested revisions are made, how best to determine if my area is 10- and / or 11-digit dialing? 7-digit dialing was discontinued here last month and no longer available.
When you dial only #, the PHONE Port is immediately bridged to the LINE Port, effectively bypassing the OBi.
The default LINE Port DigitMap passes 7- and 11-digit numbers, and anything else (doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?). If your area uses 10-digit numbers, there will be a 10-second delay after the last digit is dialed before the call is initiated unless you terminate your dialing with #.
Your ATT telephone book should describe the calling conventions used in your area.
