So I'm trying to setup {_and_use_} speed dials.
I have set up two 202's, over Callcentric, for friends. They have summer/winter homes. All 3 of their DID's appear on both 202's, and that part is fine. After way too much futzing around, CC & I have set it up so each has its correct 911 address, and if the vacant location has its data feed suspended off-season, the other continues to work. They love it.
Usually spouses are together at A, or at B, but sometimes it is one at each location. I got the idea to set up CC speeddials at each location with their Obi's numbers so they could call each other. FAIL. After a iteration or two, CC Support pointed out their speeddial prefix was also Obi's; the Obi was eating the "*75" and they never saw it. Duh! Looking at: <
https://www.obitalk.com/info/documents/misc/OBiFeatureStarCodes.pdf>, it says
"*75 Speed Dial Read-Back (Enter SD No.)"
I can set the speed dials in the Obi's, that's easy, done.
But then I started looking for exactly how you invoke a speed dial on the Obi's. It seemingly too obvious to ever say explicitly. From:
https://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=16271.msg100960#msg100960 I'm guessing that say 66# will dial Obi speeddial 66 which is **9 314 159 265 etc. True??? Another post in that thread talked about terminating the saved string with a #. ??
Next question. CC does not offer extension transfers unless you add an IVR. But I see Obi's *98 Blind Transfer mentioned. Is it possible to set up speeddial buttons to do a blind transfer, either to the other Obi 9-digit, or the CC 177 etc number. [Next NYE will be the end of Obi dialing, and the dashboard, I believe.]
Since speeddials are dashboard-wide, not device, I'll need two of them, one each way.
Lastly, the off-season OBI is now off-line. When it is brought back up, do I need to manually force an update from the Obi setup page?
