QuoteUsing the OBi as a Paging System
You may connect the OBi PHONE port to an external PA system via an RJ11-to-Line-Out connector (available at many popular electronics shops), and enable the PHONE port option UseForPagingOnly. In this configuration, the phone port is expected to be "off-hook" all the time. The OBi will automatically answer incoming calls. It will not accept call-waiting.
When the phone port goes from on-hook to off-hook, in case the user needs to dial * * * to invoke the IVR, the OBi will play a dial tone for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds the OBi will turn silent
and be ready to accept an incoming call to page
The issue is if there is a power outage the device turns off and back on and then the paging system will play a LOUD Dial tone as stated :-(
Quotethe OBi will play a dial tone for 5 seconds
The question is how can we shut this off, or can we change the dial tone "tone" to silence?
Thanks for any suggestions!
