Hello All,
A customer of mine has a 2+8 pbx (i.e. 2 incoming pots lines, line1, line2 and 8 extensions). The incoming lines are the same number.
Customer wants to port these to a SIP trunk provider but keep his pbx.
Therefore will using an OBI202 suffice to recreate lines 1 & 2 ? Can the ports - phone1 and phone2 both be used for incoming and outgoing calls on the one SIP account (with the provider to whom the number has been ported) ?
Cheers
Gavin
Yes, it is certainly possible to do this. I use a similar configuration, with 2 OBi110 devices. The usual rules apply: make sure the VoIP service provider you choose is sufficiently reliable for business use, that they support inbound/outbound Caller ID and phone book listings if required, that everything will be compatible with any fax/alarm/POS system if applicable, and that your router has strict QoS rules set up.

One note: if you have any issues with the PBX disconnecting calls when it is not supposed to, particularly when an incoming call is answered, look for a setting on the PBX called Disconnect Supervision and make it less sensitive.
Thankyou Mr Mango ! :)
