Enabling call forwarding remotely on land line

[RonR]

as for the number formate that I enter in the the forward field ... can it be the Obi110 number?

You can have calls forwarded to an OBi using its OBiTALK number : PP(ob200123456)

Hi Ron,
thanks lots!!
its working now!

Hi Ron,
I have one more question.
if I like to add additional command to direct the forwarding to a certain phone number. what would be the syntax in the forwarding field in additon to what you suggested...
als where can I learn about those syntax ... any tutorial or resources on line.

Thanks,
Joseph

[RonR]

Forwarding can be accomplished using any trunk:

SP1(18005551212)

SP2(18005551212)

LI(18005551212)

PP(ob200123456)

The only documentation available is the OBi Device Administration Guide

[VeryBigTiger]

Hi Ron,
I thought that I might be able to add a phone number to the forward syntax "PP(ob200123456)" which will instruct the distand obi to dial that number. is that not possiple.

I have the administration guide but it dos not include above command.

thanks!!

If you're wanting the receiving OBi to dial a PSTN number, you might try the following:

Originiating OBi:

Forwarding number : PP(n*18005551212)

Speed Dial n : PP(ob200123456)

where 18005551212 is the number to dial and 200123456 is the receiving OBi.

Receiving OBi:

Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute : {200654321>(Msp1):sp1},{ph}

where 200654321 is the originating OBi.  sp1 (2 places) may be sp2 or li instead if desired.

RonR, thanks again for help:

Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> InboundCallRoute : {(254xxxxxxx):ph},{sp1(1234567899)}

Numbers matching 254xxxxxxx will ring the PHONE Port.

All others will be forwarded to 1234567899 using SP1.

Can it be possible to add few more features while keeping the above ones intact:

1) Four specific numbers (say, 7777777777, 8888888888, 9999999999, 6666666666) get Forwarded to 9987654321 using sp1

2) Three specific phones numbers ( say, 5555555555, 3333333333, 2222222222 ) get forwarded to  6868686868 using sp2

3) two specific numbers ( say, 2424242424 and 5656565656 ) gets forwarded to 29292929292 using sp2

4) Numbers matching 254xxxxxxx will ring the PHONE Port (As mapped by you earlier)

5)  All others will be forwarded to 1234567899 using SP1. (As mapped by you earlier).

Thank you

Can it be possible to add few more features while keeping the above ones intact:

It's simply a matter of stringing a series of rules together:

Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> InboundCallRoute:

{(7777777777|8888888888|9999999999|6666666666):sp1(9987654321)},
{(5555555555|3333333333|2222222222):sp2(6868686868)},
{(2424242424|5656565656):sp2(29292929292)},
{(254xxxxx):ph},{sp1(12345678)}

[Shammi]

Thanks a lot, RonR! Didn't check yet, however am sure it will work. First of all, it is not "simple" for all (especially me) and secondly, it made obihai 110 really 110 times useful for me.

Wish you and your loved ones a very happy Christmas in advance.

Hi Ron,
two questions:
-->"Receiving OBi:

-->Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute : {200654321>(Msp1):sp1},{ph}

-->where 200654321 is the originating OBi.  sp1 (2 places) may be sp2 or li instead if desired."

=======
above you stated the direction for the Receiving OBi, but I'm a bit confuse (newbie) about the sp1/2, Msp1, and li. can you please explain what is each ... in any way I want to define what is my state on the receiving end which have the line and the dsl connected ... I do not have forward to GV, but like the forward to go from the distaned obi directly to my cell phone instead of coming to the local obi  where a user have to choose 2 and forward the call manually.

============
the second question about restting/rebooting the devise ... especially the remote unite what would you recommend Ron.

Thanks lot!!

VeryBigTiger,

I'm very confused at this point what you have and what you're trying to do with it.  Since it's apparently not related to the discussion with Shammi, I would recommend starting your own thread and describing in great detail exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

[Stewart]

VeryBigTiger,

Also, unless you have some reason to keep it private, e.g. you're in a country where VoIP is illegal, it would be useful if you specified what countries the OBi devices are in, what services are connected, what carriers are involved and any other relevant info about costs.  With that data, it may be possible to find a solution that is less expensive, better quality, simpler, more flexible, etc.

[VeryBigTiger]

Hi Ron,
I'm sorry if I confused you on my last message as I wrote it midnight and might have been exhausted (brain dead). its a simple question. I will wait till I come back with more time to read my last post as you suggested if its good for this thread or will start another one as you suggested.

I want thank you a lot for your help Ron, you are resourceful member and I'm gratefulle for your help.

Thanks!!
Joseph

Hi Steve,

I noticed you are a full member and I read your post twice and thanks for your notes.
as your question is out of the topic to please email me direct or call me and we can discuss...

thanks!!

Hi Ron/All,


I came back and read my post and think its related to the forwarding which I'm trying to do so I'm quoting the last suggestion from you which is answering my question but because I'm newbie here and like to have a bit more of explanation about it so I can get it to work.
The question I have about the 2nd part of your solution related to the "Receiving Obi:" above .. the syntax you suggested is "{200654321>(Msp1):sp1},{ph}"

What I'm trying to accomplish is to get one obi forward coming call to a second obi where the second obi can dial my cell phone number through the land line direct or when no answer....while I'm at work.

my obi is connected to the DSL and "land line" on both end. would this syntax still stand and work or do I need to change "sp1" as example to "li" if that mean "land line". Same goes for Msp1 because I do not understand what it means and though not sure if I' can use ...

I hope I made my question a bit easy here. if I have to start a new thread for this to please let me know how as I did not see any where to start a new post.

Thanks a lot!!!
Joseph

First OBi OBiTALK number : 200123456
Second OBi OBiTALK number : 200654321
Cell phone number : 12341234567


First OBi:

-----
To forward incoming PSTN calls unconditionally:

Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> CallForwardUnconditionalEnable : (checked)
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> CallForwardUnconditionalNumber : PP(ob200654321)
-----
or
-----
To forward incoming PSTN calls on no answer:

Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> CallForwardOnNoAnswerEnable : (checked)
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> CallForwardOnNoAnswerNumber : PP(200654321)
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> CallForwardOnNoAnswerRingCount : (as desired)
-----

Second OBi:

Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service -> InboundCallRoute : {200123456:li(12341234567)},{ph}


All incoming calls to the LINE Port of the first OBi will be forwarded (either unconditionally or on no answer) to the second OBi which will forward them to your cell phone using the LINE Port.

Awesome,
Lots of thanks Ron... you have a great holiday!!!
