Sipura/Linksys style gateways

[MichiganTelephone]

I must admit that this thread in particular leaves me scratching my head wondering exactly what is being discussed.  What I'd like to know, if anyone has the time and patience to explain it, is first of all a typical usage scenario for a Voice Gateway as it currently exists in the OBi devices — just something to help me understand why you might want to use one.

Probably discussion that really doesn't belong in this thread -- OBi's P2P gateway concept is sufficiently different enough to warrant it's own discussion. Perhaps you could start a separate thread in the appropriate subforum on this topic (since it's discussing an existing feature rather than a feature request).

Done - see http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=371.0

And thank you for the additional explanation, I think I have a bit better understanding now. I guess I've just not come across too many SIP services that are outbound only, though I have certainly heard of such a thing (for example, I'm guessing you could use this to send toll-free calls directly to one of the free, no-registration-required toll-free gateways?).  I personally haven't had the need for that type of service, but I can see where others might (particularly those who make frequent calls to international destinations).

It's interesting to explore all the capabilities these devices have (and they just keep getting better!).

Authentication issue will be corrected as plugger2 pointed out.  Will advise further soon.  Thank you.

Will OBihai push this fix automatically to all users who have got this beta firmware?

[OBi-Guru]

When the firmware release is generally available, a yellow triangle icon will appear on the OBi dashboard, and the OBi user can click on it for an easy firmware update.

Voice Gateway 1~8 will now authenticate using its respective user/passwd credential.
@plugger2: please verify this.

From my testing just now, it looks like the SIP gateways are working properly for authentication. :-)

Can vg1 - vg8 be included in trunk groups when configured as SIP gateways?

[obi-support2]

Yes. vg1-vg2 can be added as members of Trunk Group 1-4.

[plugger2]

Yes. vg1-vg2 can be added as members of Trunk Group 1-4.

Very useful. :-) (I assume the above is a typo, and you meant vg1-vg8?)

[plugger2]

One other thing I would note as a side issue, is that after the firmware upgrade to 2081, I had to do a hardware reset, and restore my previously saved settings after that, in order to get things stable. (I'm not sure if this is expected or not, but I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was having issues.)

[OBi-Guru]

Should not have to do factory reset. 
It could be your original setting got overwritten by OBiTALK portal when your device was first added.

Glad to know this has been included in the coming updated firmware since we may make long-distance calls from HK to mainland China using the 'gateway' method.

I just wanted to report, that I am having problem using Voxalot as a Gateway, all I can get is one way audio.

[RonR]

I experience the same problem.  Voxalot is a blend of Asterisk and OpenSER which seems to be less forgiving in the RTP area, although I'm using a STUN server and explicit port forwarding as I have been for years and I've never had an audio problem before this one.  Accessing Voxalot via Sip Broker (*010xxxxxx) on an OBi VG has no problems.  It's only with a VG directly to Voxalot that seems to get into trouble.

[murzik]

Unfortunately I am getting one way audio accessing Voxalot via Sipbroker.

Have you tried putting the OBi into the DMZ for your router?

[murzik]

Yes. I did.

Is this feature still in beta or has it been rolled into the April 7th firmware?

Thanks.

It's in the current release (with some limitations, as outlined in the OBi Device Administration Guide).
