Normally the Obi will be the gateway for one app. This is configured by Obihai. The OP stated they were using an Obi as a default gateway, and asked how to register multiple softphone numbers on the same default gateway.
All of your posts in this thread are simply pointing out a severe deficiency and limitation in the OBiTALK Web Portal, not some issue or problem with using
Single-Stage Dialing Through Any OBi Trunk.
The OBiTALK Web Portal is constructed with the restriction that an OBi can only be associated with one account, and that each account can only have one OBiON App associated with it. The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that OBiON Apps can only be configured through the OBiTALK Web Portal.
Users frequently want multiple OBiON Apps associated with a particular OBi, but as you described earlier, the only way to accomplish this is to repeatedly delete an OBi from the OBiTALK Web Portal and move it from OBiON App account to OBiON App account in order to set each OBiON App's Voice Gateway. Each time you do so, however, you lose the OBi's configuration and must start all over. This is less of a problem, but still a cumbersome task, if you have the foresight to create all the OBiON App accounts before you first configure the OBi. It's a huge problem, however, if you wish to add OBiON Apps later, after you've made significant customizations using OBi Expert Configuration, since there's no way to save the current configuration and restore it using the OBiTALK Web Portal.
Once again, NOT using the OBiTALK Web Portal to configure an OBi is the easy way out. If you're maintaining an OBi directly, it's a simple matter to:
1. Save the current configuration.
2. Temporarily add the OBi to an OBiON App account in order to set the OBiON App's Voice Gateway (destroying the OBi's current configuration in the process).
3. Delete the OBi from the OBiON App account.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary.
5. Restore the saved configuration.
By NOT using the OBiTALK Web Portal to configure an OBi, you're assured that you won't lose its current configuration.
