How to call SIP address directly (not via ITSP)

[SeanTek]

On the Obi1000 and Obi2000 series, how can one call a SIP address directly without passing the SIP address to the ITSP?

On an OBi2182, I have three services configured: SP1 = Google Voice, SP2 = Callcentric, SP3 = Voip.ms.

When I try to call a SIP address directly (including the @domain part), I get error 901 on SP1 (Google Voice) and SP3 (Voip.ms). However, when I try to call the SIP address directly on SP2 (Callcentric), the call connects.

I have a few SIP addresses on speed dials. The speed dial that is set to **2SIPAddress@domain.com always works, because it always selects SP2 (Callcentric). The speed dial that is set just to SIPAddress@domain.com will fail on SP1 and SP3.

I believe what is going on, is that the dial string is passed to one of the SP servers, which then decides what to do with it. Or something.

Is there a way to tell the OBi1000/2000 to dial a SIP address directly without passing it to any SP line, or what is the workaround here?

I am not sure what exactly I am supposed to be looking at, but on April 17, 2020, RonR wrote:

Yes.  Any OBi can make and receive calls using SIP URI's.  No special settings are required other than having at least one SPx Service configured for SIP.

I'm able to use Speed Dials (or the keypad) to make outgoing calls via SIP URI:

SP2(18005551212@sip.tollfreegateway.com)
SP2(18005551212@76.10.223.207)
SP2(883510000000091@sip.inum.net)
SP2(883510000000091@81.201.82.25)

And I'm able to receive incoming calls from DID's via SIP URI:

xxxxx@ronr.dyndns.org

There should be no reason an OBi202 can't do the same thing.

On an OBi2062, I have SP1 = Google Voice, SP2 = Callcentric, SP3 = 382com, and SP4 = Voip.ms. Attempts to call a SIP URI (with the @ sign and a different domain name) on SP1 and SP4 fail. Attempts to call a SIP URI on SP2 and SP3 succeed.

I also tried using SP5 and SP6 (which are "not configured" as RonR stated), and they did not work. Specifically, when I tried SP5/6 by selecting the line and then entering the SIP URI, I got error 901 on SP1 (Google Voice)--which means that the OBi did not even try to use the SP5 or SP6 configuration settings. I also tried **5SIPURI to try to force the use of SP5 (and **6SIPURI for SP6), but that did not work either. I got the "could not connect/operator" sound (no 901 error display). Looking at the history, those attempts all got redirected to SP1.

I also tried using **9 for OBiTALK just to make sure: I got error 404 Not Found.

Now, I am aware that SP5 and SP6 are unconfigured, but RonR clearly wrote: "With no service provider configured..." so what is the minimum configuration necessary to ensure that a SIP URI actually gets dialed, or that the SP gets attempted? SP5 configuration says the check box for "Enable" is checked, but no other settings are set up.

A provider must be defined on the SP you use. A dummy provider can be defined like this:

Service Providers -> ITSP Profile E -> SIP -> ProxyServer: 127.0.0.1
Voice Services -> SP5 Service -> AuthUserName: anything
Voice Services -> SP5 Service -> X_RegisterEnable: unchecked
Voice Services -> SP5 Service -> X_ServProvProfile: E

Thank you! That is what I was looking for.
