Quote1. How do I make the OBi110 ring on incoming GV/SP2 calls?
2. Will the end of June GV changes kill off the OBi110 anyways? If so, not much use tinkering with it.
You are missing the whole point of this exercise! GV on OBi110 will totally stop working in June. At that time you can delete the GV definition from the OBi110. The above example will setup the OBi200 as a GV gateway for the OBi110. OBi110 outbound calls are route over the OBiTalk to the OBi200. The OBi200 uses its GV trunk to complete the call. Inbound calls will arrive on the OBi200 and then routed to the OBi110.
Currently, are the GV definitions on the OBi200 and OBi110 the same account? If you are using the same GV account for both the OBi200 and OBi110, you can share the same GV account on the OBi200 SP2 on both boxes. If they are different accounts, you need to define the OBi110 GV on an open SP slot on the OBi200.
I am currently using this setup on my OBi200 and OBi110 and it works perfectly.
QuoteFYI. The OBi110 does not show up in the section of available devices under the "Link" section and it has the usual 'we no support ancient equipment' (paraphrased, LOL) about the 110
Please re-read the beginning and end of my previous post about speed dials. Linked devices are doing the same as my speed dial example. They call another device by calling there OBi Number.
QuoteI tried changing some options like selecting a ring profile, but the options were grayed out.
In OBi Expert you must uncheck BOTH boxes to the right of the Value to be able to change it.
If you are using separate GV accounts, go ahead and define the OBi110 GV on the OBi200 and let me know what SP you used. I'll then update the example. Do you want inbound calls on the OBi110 GV ring both boxes?
Okay, I am not being rude, just a little dense if I missed the point earlier, LOL. But it is becoming clearer, thanks.
Manually "Linking" with the speed dials is perfect, I will try that, thanks. I thought I acknowledged that earlier, but lots of other things happening here at the same time, maybe I was too brief or unclear
Your OBi110 config info is especially important due to the pending June GV death for the 110. I only recently read about that in a different post, which is why I asked it mid-thread. Thanks for clearing that up.
So far, ignore the POTS on OBi110, I don't think I'll be using that feature at this time...maybe later. I bought this some time ago, before GV killed the OBiHai devices and didn't get back to it until now. Bad timing back then
Goals:
1. The main GV number should ring on the OBi110 at the remote site AND the OBi200 (and shortly the OBi202).
2. GV also rings/forwards to my cell and home lines (the home line will eventually transition to the second phone line of the OBi202 once I work out the landline porting stuff) Right now this is already in GV setup.
3. Dialing out will default on the remote OBi110 to the GV number (for CallerID purposes)
4. Dialing out will default on the OBi200 and 'business line' phone port of the OBi202 to the GV number.
I had planned to replace the OBi110 with the OBi202 because I couldn't get it configured properly and assumed no options due to the impending GV death of it. But now I think I will STILL REPLACE it and shuffle around and use the OBi110 for a separate GV number as primary for fax or additional outgoing line.
Ultimately it will look like this once I configure and MOVE the devices.
Home office, OBi202Phone port 1: GV business line on SP2 (*default outgoing), GV home line on SP1, Remote OBi200 linked as call-transferable extension.
Phone port 2: GV home line on SP1 (*default outgoing), GV business line on SP2
SP3 or SP4 - Anveo E911 line for emergency calls from either phone port (device default for 911 calls)
Works as extension in the group
OBi200, main officeSP2- GV business line (*default outgoing)
SP1- other GV line...maybe fax/additional line?
Works as extension in the group
No 911 service needed- or can I forward to home office Anveo port?
OBi110, uncertain of location yetSP2- GV business line (*default forwarding to outgoing SP2 on OBi200 or OBi202, whichever it is local to)
Works as extension in the group
Not sure of any other purpose? *Might* connect PSTN to office landline for outgoing faxes? Probably not, since that is currently an incoming voice line...Can the OBi110 do fax detection/autoanswer and ignore if it is voice so other phones can answer incoming voice calls??? (shared voice/fax line)
Surely it would have helped if I laid all this out initially, but I wasn't quite sure about a few things, which have become clearer now- both technically and office wise.
Question: How many incoming/outgoing simultaneous calls does a GV number allow? I know it does call waiting at least, since that happened the first time yesterday with an incoming call on my GV number while on my GV number.
If/when things get much more than this, probably subscribe to a VoIP provider on OBiHai for the business line(s), but gotta start on a shoestring.
Question2: Once I configure OBi200 or OBi202, I can move them to any ethernet with DHCP/internet and it will work exactly the same without reconfiguring? So I could pre-configure a box for a friend with his stuff on it and send it in the mail to him with instructions to plug into ethernet/internet router and his phone and power and it will be good to go???
I am seeing OBiHai much more clearly now with all the help and reading the forum. Thanks
