I just received my OBi110 and, by using the OBiTalk portal, I had my device registered and sending/receiving calls via my
voip.ms account within a few minutes. Well done, Obihai!
The question I have concerns the use of the OBiTalk portal OBi Expert page to set a CallerID Name for SP1 (i.e. my
voip.ms account).
I realize I can easily modify the CallerID Name by using the OBi110's administrative interface but, following ShermanObi's lead, I'd like to keep OBiTalk in sync and use its OBi Expert page.
I found CallerID Name in SP1's
Calling Features section and discovered the following:
- The field is blank and locked (i.e. I cannot enter text).
- The Device Default checkbox is unchecked.
- The OBiTalk Settings checkbox is checked and has an asterisk next to it.
From the OBi Expert page:
asterisk (*) indicating this parameter is currently being used in the OBiTALK portal for feature configurationI don't know where ObiTalk configures the CallerID Name feature. I did not see it when setting up SP1.
If I uncheck the
OBiTalk Settings checkbox, the
Device Default check box is automatically checked and the field remains locked. I don't know what the Device Default checkbox signifies. Maybe it means that it defaults to using the CallerID Name set using the OBi110's administrative interface.
If I uncheck the
Device Default checkbox, the field is unlocked. I assume whatever I enter as a name will be written to my OBi110 but I don't know how it affects the OBiTalk portal's usage of CallerID elsewhere in its interface.
I have not entered a name because I don't understand the implications of unchecking two checkboxes to get to this stage. Can someone please shed some light on this issue? Thanks!
