Hello,
Where retrofitting Asterisk pbxs to replace "traditional" phone systems we redirect the customers pstn to the cloud Asterisk using an Obi110 to convert the pstn to a trunk over ip (until such a time as the number is ported). This uses the pstn port and SP2, leaving the phone port and SP1 free.
Is it possible therefore to use SP1 & the phone port to connect an analogue phone as an extension to the Asterisk, rather than having an additional Obi100 for this purpose ?
Yes, I know on the face of it it sounds dumb as we can just install an IP phone but where the customer doesn't want to ditch his long range dect phones & base station we need to use an ATA.
Cheers
Gavin

Yes, of course, you can setup (configure) SP1 to register to the asterisk system as an extension. That would be a common way to use the OBi110.
