OK, I am about 4 months into using my Obi100 and all is going smoothly. I am set up with google voice (sp1) and freephoneline (sp2). Outgoing calls go through sp2. If they are not free, I dial **1 and use google voice for outgoing. I also have a voip.ms number (I ported my landline number over). It is permanently call forwarded to my freephoneline number. I would like to occasionally place an outgoing call through the voip.ms number. Is this what a gateway is for? If so, some searching brought me to this. Am I on the right track? (I have edited this)
To begin, you'll need to make a couple of additions to your PHONE Port DigitMap and PHONE Port OutboundCallRoute to add support for the new dialing prefixes:
Phone Port DigitMap:
|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**3(Mvg3)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|
PHONE Port OutboundCallRoute:
{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**3:>(Mvg3)):vg3},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
This creates the following associations:
**3 -> Voice Gateway3 (VG3)
Now, let's set up additional VoIP providers on Voice Gateway3
Voice Gateway3 will be used with Whistlephone:
Name : Voip.ms
AccessNumber : SP2(proxy.voip.ms) (I am guessing here)
DigitMap : (Mste)
AuthUserID : your_voip.ms_user_id
AuthPassword : your_voip.ms_password
Not sure about this part
And finally, let's configure the User Defined DigitMap referenced in Voice Gateway3:
Label : ste
DigitMap : (1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|<1aaa>xxxxxxx|011xx.|(Mipd)|[^*]@@.'@'@@.)
where aaa is your local area code.
Following a reboot, the OBi should be ready to use its new capabilities.
Dialing **3 + number should place a voip.ms call.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
The DigitMaps etc look ok. The only question is does voip.ms support calling with no registration? I'm not a voip.ms user, so maybe someone who is might answer that.
You could just try and see what happens :)
Thanks, I am trying, to try. ;D I am not able to click on the enable "button". It is shaded. How do I enable a gateway? (through expert configuration). I am a noob. Hopefully I am not missing something obvious!
Enable is the default setting, no need to change it. Yes, it does seem odd!
OK, but I am unable to enter anything into the fields ???
For the fields that you want to change first uncheck both boxes to the right, leave them unchecked. When all the fields are filled click submit at the bottom of the page, then wait a couple of minutes for the OBi to reboot.
It worked!!! ;D Thanks so much for your help and patience with my noobness! If it helps anyone else, I
1.set up (enabled) Voice Gateway3
Name : Voip.ms
AccessNumber : SP2(proxy.voip.ms)
DigitMap : (xx.)
AuthUserID : your_voip.ms_user_id
AuthPassword : your_voip.ms_password
2. Physical Interfaces - PHONE - Phone Port DigitMap: added |**3(Mvg3)|
3. Physical Interfaces - PHONE - OutboundCallRoute: added ,{(<**3:>(Mvg3)):vg3},
Now **3 + number dials out on my voip.ms number
Thanks again!
