Speed Dial Setup (SOLVED)

[avantoise]

Hey All,

Just setup my Obi110 with GV. It took under 10mins. But for some reason i can not get speed dial to work. I am trying to setup family numbers as speed dials and so far no luck. I did some google and forum searches without luck. I saw one post about using obi number in speed dial. Is there a guide for this?

You can enter Speed Dials either of two ways:

1. Use the same format that you would dial the number from the phone port:

18005551212
**218005551212
**9222222222

Using this method, PHONE Port DigitMap and OutboundCallRoute rules are applied.

2. Use Trunk (TK) format:

SP2(18005551212)
LI(5551212)
PP(ob222222222)

Using this method, PHONE Port DigitMap and OutboundCallRoute rules are NOT applied.

I guess im an idiot. I am trying the first method and putting in the information as you have it.

So if im correct which i am sure i am not i put this in the number 3 id slot Number/Address field of the speed dial page?

**318005551212 **9333333333

or

**218005551212 **9222222222

Sorry for the lame questions

If you want Speed Dial #3 to dial 18005551212 using the default (PrimaryLine) trunk, you'd put:

18005551212

into the Speed Dial 3 slot.

If you want Speed Dial #3 to dial 18005551212 using the SP2 trunk, you'd put:

**218005551212

into the Speed Dial 3 slot.

If you want Speed Dial #5 to dial OBiTALK number 200123456, you'd put:

**9200123456

into the Speed Dial 5 slot.

Are all of the DigitMap and OutboundCallRoute settings at Default?  Verify this in the OBi itself, not at the OBiTALK Web Portal.  Please post any that are not currently set to Default.

Sorry for asking more noob questions, but this information is completely missing from any of the official Obihai documents (http://www.obitalk.com/obinet/pg/obhdev/speeddial).  Those documents won't even tell you have to use speed dial (I discovered by trial and error that it's just the speed-dial digit followed by a star - maybe all you VOIP/PBX experts already knew this but the rest of us need to be spoon fed).

So ... what are those the pre-existing speed dials, and can I delete them?

The first one has the name "Soft Phone" ... and it's grayed out ... I can't delete it.  This was there when I first setup the obitalk account ... if it doesn't work then why do I have to have it occupy a speed-dial slot?  Can I move it to a speed-dial slot other than #1 since it's useless to me?  I don't even want a "Soft Phone".

The second one has the name I gave my obi100 device.  I guess it's only useful if I have another obihai device to call it, yes?  I bought one, just haven't set it up yet.  So why does it start with **9 instead of simply show the 11 digit phone number attached to the device? Is there an advantage of dialing the **9+number instead of the 11 digit phone number when calling from one device to another?
