Note to End Users

End users are highly encouraged to use the OBiTALK web portal to configure and manage their OBi devices. The reason for this is two-fold.  One, the major benefits afforded by the OBi devices are available to be turned on, set-up and modified from within the portal. What’s more is the application of the functional configuration is controlled by device configuration files tightly integrated with the settings configured by the OBiTALK portal and cloud-based applications managed by Obihai which make possible the device’s “plug-n-play” operation.



Where to Go for Help

Obihai has a number of options available to customers who are seeking help regarding their Obihai products. Obihai Web Site:

On this web site visitors will find links to the OBiTALK forum, Documents and Downloads, Tools Tips and Tricks as well as an FAQ / Knowledge Base.



Notational Conventions

An OBi device configuration parameter and value is represented in the style

Group Name::ParameterName = Parameter  Value

Group Name is the heading of the parameter group on the left side panel of the device configuration web page and may contain spaces. When a group heading has more than one level, each level is separated with a -, such as

Services Providers - ITSP Profile A – SIP::

ParameterName is the name of the parameter as shown on the web page and MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY SPACES. Parameter  Value is the literal value to assign to the named parameter and may contain spaces. Group Name or its top level headings may be omitted when the context is clear. Examples:

SP1 Service::AuthUserName = 4082224312

ITSP Profile A - SIP::ProxyServer = sip.myserviceprovider.com

A placeholder value to be substituted by your the parameter value you will actually use is shown in italics, as in the following example:

SP1 Service::AuthPassword = your-password

 

Some configuration parameters can assume one of several choices only. The configured value must match exactly the admissible values, case sensitive and especially no extra white spaces before or after the value. Each admissible value is highlighted in this document to emphasize this requirement. For example GMT-12:00(Int'l  Dateline  West) is one of the admissable choices for the LocalTimeZone parameter.


Here are some examples how we highlight some SIP syntaxes in this document:

  • A SIP header: Privacy: id
  • A URL parameter: ;user=phone



Acronyms

RW                         Read write-able (parameter values)

R                             Read only (parameter values)

UINT                      Unsigned interger (0, 1, 2, …)

INT                         Integer

 

Introduction to OBi500 Devices                                                                               


Built with a high-performance system-on-a-chip platform to ensure high quality voice conversations, OBi500 devices are dedicated systems targeted at the application of voice over IP services. OBi500 devices have high availability and reliability because they are always-on to make or receive calls. With an OBi device, a computer is not required and a computer does not need to be on to talk to people. To get started, all you need is a phone, power and a connection to the Internet.

Connecting Power to the OBi Device

Connect the supplied 12 volt power adapter to the OBi device and the wall outlet or working power strip. Only use the power adapter supplied with the original packaging to power the OBi device. Use of any power adaptor other than what was provided with the OBi will void the warranty and may cause the unit to not function at all or cause undesired operation.

LED Description and LED Behaviour

There are fourteen (14) LED lights on the front of the OBi508 and ten (10) on the OBi504. They are used to provide the user with a visual indication of the working order and general status of key functional aspects of the OBi device. Under normal operating conditions the LEDs should show green (solid or blinking) signals.

Here below, are specific details/explanation of the OBi LED description and behaviour.

Connecting Accessory Devices to the OBi500 USB Ports*

At present the OBi500 only recognizes OBiBT USB dongles (sold separately by Obihai). You may connect one OBiBT dongle to each of USB Port 1 and USB Port 2. The corresponding services are referred to as OBiBlueTooth 1 and OBiBLueTooth 2 respectively in the device configuration.



*More USB enabled accessories will be supported in the near future with a firmware update.

 

Internet Connection Set-Up and Configuration

Note that the OBi500 devices can be configured either as a router with Ethernet Port 1 as the WAN Port (to Uplink) and Ethernet Ports 2-4 as 3 LAN switching ports, or as a switch with 4 LAN switching ports. To connect to the network when the device is configured as a switch, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to any one of the four OBi500 Ethernet ports and the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your Internet router or Ethernet switch. To connect to the network when the device is configured as a router, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port 1 of the OBi500 and the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your Internet router or Ethernet switch.

By default the OBi will request an IP, DNS and Internet (WAN) Gateway IP addressing via DHCP.



PHONE Port Set-Up and Configuration

A phone has a very basic UI (User Interface) for I/O (Input / Output) of signalling or control messages.

The OBi PHONE port supports input signalling and control messages comprised of: On Hook, Off Hook, Hook Flash, DTMF tones. Note that OBi5xx only supports touch tone telephones; pulse-dialing is not supported.

The OBi PHONE ports support output signalling and control messages comprised of: Caller ID/CWCID, MWI, DTMF/Tone, Ring, Pol-Rev, CPC, Power Denial.

Each OBi PHONE port has a Maximum Sessions capacity of two (2). This is not configurable. The OBi PHONE port will reply BUSY to a new incoming call when:

  • The PHONE port already has 2 calls in session (or 1 call if call waiting is not enabled on the port)
  • The PHONE port is ringing the phone.
  • The phone is in a dialing or fast busy (“Invalid” state).
  • Already in a FAX call

The OBi PHONE port supports Call Waiting when a 2nd call is an inbound call:

  • A Hook Flash (or depressing the Flash button) invokes switching between two (2) calls.
  • When the OBi PHONE port goes On Hook this will end current call and invoke a ring for the holding call.

The OBi PHONE port supports 3-way Calling when the second call is an outbound call. On the first Hook Flash during an active call the OBi can make a second outbound call.

One the second hook flash, the first call and the second outbound call are place in a conference. To remove the second conferenced party, invoke a third Hook Flash.

When the OBi goes On Hook during a 3-way Call, this will become a transfer when 2nd (outbound) call is ringing or connected. If the 2nd (outbound) call does not succeed, e.g. no answer or busy, then the OBi PHONE port can go to On Hook state and will ring as the holding call is still on the line, or simply hook flash to resume the first call.



The OBi PHONE port can select from the following services with which it can complete a call: SP1 – SP9, OBiTALK (PP1), OBiBlueTooth 1 (BT1) and OBiBlueTooth 2 (BT2) Services.

 

Using the OBi500 as a Paging System

You can connect the (Audio) Line Out port to an external PA system for paging. The Line Out port is referred to as ao (which stands for Audio Out) in call routing rules. With default configuration, a user can broadcast an announcement to the Line  Out port by picking up any of the phone ports and dial #0. This is achieved with the rule {#0:ao} in the OutboundCallRoute parameter for each phone port. The OBi plays a short beep prior to playing the caller’s announcement.

Similarly a remote caller can also be routed to page with a similar routing rule in the Inbound Call Route. For example, adding this rule {>100:ao} to SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute parameter will allows a caller at SP1 to send audio out to the Line Out port by calling the extension 100.



Primary Line

You can select the Primary Line for the PHONE n Port for n = 1, 2, …, and for the AA, respectively, using the parameters

PHONE n Port::PrimaryLine and Auto Attendant::PrimaryLine.

An SP service can be a SIP-based service or Google Voice. In addition, all device models come with the free OBiTALK (peer- to-peer) service. In this document we sometimes refer to any one of these voice services as a  trunk and a trunk group (TG)  is a (comma-separated) ordered list of trunks. If a TG is selected for making an outbound call, the OBi will pick the first available member in that trunk group for the call. Up to four (4) TGs can be defined in an OBi (see the section Trunk Groups for detail).

You can make one of the SP Services, OBiBlueTooth 1/2, or TG1/TG2 as the Primary Line for outbound calls. The Primary Line for the PHONE port(s) and the Auto Attendant is configured via the OBi device management web page described herein or the OBiTALK Device Configuration VoIP Service Provider set-up screen also gives the user the option to select a service or TG as the Primary Line. The list below summarizes the choices available for selection as the primary line:

  • SP1 Service
  • SP2 Service
  • SP3 Service
  • SP4 Service
  • SP5 Service
  • SP6 Service
  • SP7 Service
  • SP8 Service
  • SP9 Service
  • OBiTALK Service
  • OBiBlueTooth 1
  • OBiBlueTooth 2
  • Trunk Group 1
  • Trunk Group 2


When you want to make a call via a service that is not the Primary Line, you will need to dial that service’s access code before the destination number.

The default service route access codes are defined as:

  • ** 1 : SIP Service Provider 1 or Google Voice Service 1
  • ** 2 : SIP Service Provider 2 or Google Voice Service 2
  • ** 3 : SIP Service Provider 3 or Google Voice Service 3
  • ** 4 : SIP Service Provider 4 or Google Voice Service 4
  • ** 81: OBiBlueBooth 1
 
  • ** 82: OBiBlueBooth 2
  • ** 9 : OBiTALK Network



Service route access codes for calling from the PHONE port can be customized if necessary by modifying PHONE n Port::DigitMap and PHONE n Port::OutboundCallRoute. Service route access codes for calling via the Auto Attendant can be customized if necessary by modifying Auto Attendant::DigitMap and Auto Attendant::OutboundCallRoute.

Note: Occurrences of (Mpli) and pli are substituted internally with the corresponding abbreviated trunk name of the selected primary line.

 

End User Features Available on the OBi                                                                  


OBiTALK Web Portal:

The OBiTALK Web Portal allows you to manage your OBi endpoints and their relation to other endpoints in your Circle of Trust. OBiTALK is a web portal and OBi configuration utility which helps OBi users configure devices for optimum savings and access applications which make using OBi with even more convenience.

OBi Circles of Trust

The OBiTALK Web Portal is also where you can set-up Circles of Trust. The Circles of Trust provide a means to team-up with other people with OBi devices and endpoints so that everyone’s calls can be made as inexpensively as possible.

OBiON iPhone & iPod Touch + Android Smart Phone Apps

After setting up an account and logging in to the OBiTALK portal, users may download applications for their iPhone and Android smart phones.

OBiAPP for PC Soft Phone App

After setting up an account and logging in to the OBiTALK portal, users may download applications for their iPhone and Android smart phones.

OBi Works with Your Existing Services

If you do not want to configure a new service in order to make free calls using your Internet connection you can simply plug in your existing analog line from your telco phone service or connect the line coming from an VoIP service (from an ATA or cable EMTA) to the OBi.  Connect your telephone to the OBi’s phone port and you are ready to call other users’ endpoints on the OBiTALK network.

Bridge Your Services for Optimum Savings & Convenience

With the OBi device, you can bridge multiple services to route calls in the most efficient cost-effective way. You can connect your telco phone service to the OBi at your house and use your PC or Apple iPhone, iPod touch or Android Smart phone to bridge a call from the OBiTALK network to the phone landline or Internet phone service connected to the OBi device at home.

Call Forwarding

Call Forwarding allows you to send incoming calls to another number of your choosing. Calls can be forwarded to a number reachable from the landline service, VoIP service or OBiTALK network. The following types of call forwarding are possible with the OBi:

Call Forward ALL: When you use Call Forward ALL, all calls are immediately forwarded to the number you indicate when you turn on the feature. To enable Call Forward ALL, from a phone attached to the OBi, dial *72. You will be prompted to enter the number to which the calls will be forwarded. Dial the number plus the # key and a confirmation tone will be heard. To disable Call Forward ALL, dial *73. A confirmation tone will be heard.

Call Forward on Busy: When you use Call Forward on Busy, all calls are forwarded to the number you indicate only when you are already engaged in a call with your phone attached to the OBi. To enable Call Forward on Busy, from a phone attached to the OBi, dial *60. You will be prompted to enter the number to which the calls will be forwarded. Dial the number plus the # key and a confirmation tone will be heard. To disable Call Forward on Busy, dial *61. A confirmation tone will be heard

 

Call forward on No Answer: When you use Call Forward on No Answer, all calls are forwarded to the number you indicate only when you do not answer the call with your phone attached to the OBi. To enable Call Forward on No Answer, from a phone attached to the OBi, dial *62. You will be prompted to enter the number to which the calls will be forwarded. Dial the number plus the # key and a confirmation tone will be heard. To disable Call Forward on No Answer, dial *63. A confirmation tone will be heard.

Caller ID – Name & Number

Caller ID allows you to see the number and (if available) the name of the person calling you. You can use this information to decide whether or not to answer the call. You must have a phone (or device) that supports caller ID to use this feature.

Call Waiting

Call waiting lets you take a second call that comes in when you are already on the phone with another party and not have    to disconnect to take the new call. When you are on the line with the first party, you will hear a tone signalling you there is  a second call coming in. To answer this call, press the “flash” button on your phone or depress and release the switch hook on the telephone. The first party will be placed on hold and you will be connected to the second party until you press the “flash” button or depress and release the switch hook again.

Since Call Waiting can interfere with fax calls already in progress, it is advised that you configure your fax machine to dial the Cancel Call Waiting code before it dials the destination fax machine.

3-Way Calling

  • Way Calling allows you to talk to two parties at the same time with everyone on a telephone at a different location. To use 3-Way Calling, when you are in a call with another party and want to add a second to the conversation, press the “flash” button or depress and release the switch hook on your phone. You will be presented with a second dial tone and  the first party will be placed on hold. Dial the second party. When they answer, you will be able to inform them that you intend to connect them with the first party (now on hold) and have a conference. At this point press the “flash” button or depress and release the switch hook on your phone. This will connect the first party, the second party and yourself. You can all continue to talk together.

Call Transfer (Attended)

You can transfer a call to a third party using the attended transfer capabilities of the OBi. To use Attended Call Transfer, while in a call with the party who will be transferred, press the “flash” button or depress and release the switch hook on your phone. You will be presented with a second dial tone. The party who will be transferred will be placed on hold. Dial the transfer target. When the transfer target answers, you will be able to inform them that you intend to connect them with the party on hold. At this point press the “flash” button or depress and release the switch hook on your phone. This will connect the party to be transferred, the transfer target and yourself. You can continue to talk together, as this is now a 3-way call, or you can hang up the phone and the other two parties will remain connected.



Nordic Region Mid-Call Feature Invocation Style

In the above description of call waiting, 3-way calling, and call transfer operations, the way the features are invoked is referred to as N. America style. In Nordic regions (such as Sweden, Norway), the same features are invoked by hook flashing followed by a digit 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 to more precisely control which operations to apply to the calls. For these regions, the phones may also be equipped with an R button for hook flashing. The commands issued to the OBi are referred to as R0, R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5. Here is a summary of the operations:

 

Commands

Operations

Scenarios

R0

Reject the 2nd incoming call

1st call connected, 2nd call ringing

R1

End the 1st call. Resume or answer the 2nd call

1st call connected, 2nd call on

hold or ringing

R2

Hold 1st call. Resume or answer the 2nd call (swap

calls)

1st call connected, 2nd call on

hold or ringing

R3

Keep the 1st call. Resume or answer the 2nd call

(conference)

1st call connected, 2nd call on

hold or ringing

R4

Transfer 2nd call peer to the 1st call peer

1st call connected, 2nd call on

hold or connected


To select the Nordic style of feature invocation, set the parameter PHONE Port::CallCommandSignalMethod to “Nordic Regions (R1, R2, …)”. The default is: N. America.



Caller ID Block (Anonymous Calling)*

Caller ID Block allows you to mask your name and number information from appearing on the phone you are calling. To use Caller ID Block for one call only, dial *67 and then the destination number. To use Caller ID Block on a persistent basis, dial

*81 from the handset attached to the OBi. All calls will use the Caller ID Block feature until you cancel the Caller ID Block. To cancel Caller ID Block, dial *82 from the handset attached to the OBi.


*This service requires ITSP support. While most ITSP services support this service, Caller ID Blocking is NOT available with Google Voice service at present.



Automatic Call Back (Call Return)

Automatic Call Back, also called Call Return can be used to call back the last caller who called you without actually dialing their number. To use Automatic Call Back, from the phone attached to the OBi, dial *69. The OBi will then attempt to use the previous callers Caller ID information to make the call.

Repeat Dialing

Repeat Dialing is useful when you call a number that is busy and you want to keep trying so that your call gets through when the far end is available. Repeat dialing will continue to try the last number until the OBi device can complete the call or Repeat dialing is cancelled. To enable repeat dialing, from the phone attached to the OBi, dial *05 and hang up. To cancel repeat dialing, from the phone attached to the OBi, dial *06.

Anonymous Call Block

Anonymous Call Block allows you to block calls from incoming callers when there is no identifying caller ID name or number. Incoming calls will be presented with a busy signal. To use Anonymous Call Block, from the phone attached to the OBi, dial

*77. To cancel Anonymous Call Block, from the phone attached to the OBi, dial *87.



Do Not Disturb

Do Not Disturb (DND) allows you to set the phone to immediately forward calls made to your OBi to the number set-up as your voicemail number / account. If no voicemail account is set-up, the OBi will return a busy signal to the caller until you

 

turn off DND. To turn on DND, from a phone attached to the OBi, dial *78. To turn off DND, from a phone attached to your OBi, dial *79.

Message Waiting Indication – Visual and Tone Based

Message Waiting Indication allows you to be notified when there is a new voice message for you. The OBi supports both Visual and Tone based Message Waiting Indication. With Tone-based Message Waiting Indication, you will know there is a message for you when you hear a “stutter” dial tone right when you first pick up the phone to make a call. Typically, this stutter tone will be removed once you listen to your message(s). Visual-based Message Waiting Indication will turn on a light or screen icon on your phone (or phone base station) when there is a message waiting for you. Typically, this light or icon will go dark when you have listened to your new message(s).

Speed Dialing of 99 OBi Endpoints or Numbers

The OBi device supports Speed Dialing of 99 numbers. These numbers can be associated with phones reachable via an Internet or landline service or the OBiTALK network. Be careful with the Speed Dial Set-Up as this will conflict with the Speed Dials set-up on the OBiTALK portal. The Speed Dials that are set-up on the OBiTALK portal will always overwrite anything set-up via the phone connected to the OBi.



PHONE-to-PHONE Collaborative Features

While each phone port functions independently of each other, an OBi500 device provides PBX-like features that tie the ports together to work as a phone system. The default the phone port digit map and call routing rules are set up such that you can:

  • Dial #n to call phone port n, n = 1, 2, 3, … 8*
  • Dial #* to ring all the phones at once
  • Dial #0 to page out of the Line Out Port

*Dialing #n from phone n is reserved for checking voicemail in phone n’s mailbox


Furthermore, when calling phone-to-phone with a prefix *96, the caller can trigger the following behaviour:

  • If the called phone is idle (on-hook), it will ring normally with a special Caller-ID that indicates the call is from the other PHONE Port
  • If the called phone is on-hook with a call on-hold, the calling phone will pick up and resume that call
  • If the called phone is ringing, the calling phone will pick up and answer that call
  • For all other scenarios, the calling phone will hear busy tone

You can also transfer an external call from PHONE A to PHONE B the usual way: while connected on an external all, hook flash and dial #n extension to ring the other phone, then hang up to transfer when the caller phone rings or answers.

For incoming calls on any trunk, one can set up the corresponding inbound call route to ring any combination of the phone ports. The default inbound call routes are setup to ring just Phone 1 and Phone 2

For outgoing calls, each phone port has its own digit map and outbound call route configuration, which means that you have the full flexibility in allocating trunks for making calls from each port independently. Each port may also have a different primary line assigned; the default, however is to set the primary line to SP1 for all phone ports.

 

Star Code Features

∞ Note: Be careful with the Speed Dial Set-Up as this will conflict with the Speed Dials set-up on the OBiTALK portal. The Speed Dials that are set-up on the OBiTALK portal will always overwrite anything set-up via the phone connected to the OBi.

 

Call Forward Numbers                                                                                               


There is one set of Call Forward Settings per voice service on the OBi, such that the settings apply to incoming calls on that service only. However calls may be forwarded to numbers on the same service or on another service. Therefore each call forward number stored in the OBi configuration MUST include call routing information to let the device know which voice service should be used to forward the call to. The general format of a call forward number is:

TK(number)

where TK is the abbreviated name of a voice service. Valid values of TK are SPn for the SPn Voice Service where n = 1 – 9, BT1, BT2 for OBiBlueTooth 1/2, or PP for the OBiTALK Service.

The number to forward to must be in the final form that is acceptable by the service provider. OBi will not apply any Digit Map or Call Routing Rules on it.

Examples: SP1(14089991234), PP1(ob200333456)

You may also set the call forward number to PH1 – PH8 (a phone port), AA (the auto attendant), PK (the call park), AI (Audio Line In), or AO (Audio Line Out).

 

Configuration and Management Interfaces of the OBi Device                             


Telephone-IVR-Based Local Configuration

The OBi utilizes an interactive voice response (IVR) system for both its configuration and day-to-day function. The IVR is, in essence and automated attendant the OBi user will access to either invoke a verbal response from the OBi to provide information to the user (such as IP address) or instruct the OBi to act on the routing / placement of a call to a particular interface. More information about the Auto Attendant IVR for OBi call processing will be provided later in the document.

There are two IVR menus.

  • Auto Attendant IVR 1: Referred to as aa (synonymous to aa1) for call processing commands. Unless stated otherwise, the Auto Attendant operations discussed in this document refers to this AA instance
  • Auto Attendant IVR 2: Referred to as aa2 for local configuration. Unless stated others, the IVR operations discussed in this document refers to this AA instance

If one or more the changes to the settings require a reboot to take effect, it will be done automatically when quitting the IVR. As a default, the IVR (AA2) can be invoked by dialing *** from any phone port.

Tip: By pressing the appropriate button sequence on the telephone key pad, you can barge into the next menu of the IVR or invoke a command without first waiting for the previous announcement to end.

Option 1001 current value is: (the recorded prompt)

Press 1 to enter a new value. Press 2 to set the default value. Press 0 to repeat the information.

Press # to enter another configuration selection.



Note: After pressing 1 to record a new prompt, the OBi says “Enter value followed by the # key”. At that point, you can press any digit (0-9) to start recording, and then press # to end recording.

Tips: Leave about 1s of gap at the end of recording to avoid unintended truncation by the OBi.

After a new prompt is recorded, Obi immediately plays back the recorded audio, and then presents the following options:

Press 1 to save (save the recorded prompt permanently in long term memory)

Press 2 to re-enter (the last recorded prompt is discarded)

Press 3 to review

Press # to cancel (the last recorded prompt is discarded)

Similarly for Options 1002 - 1020




With these options you can record up to 10 prompts which can be arranged in any combinations and used as customized    AA prompts. Each prompt recording is limited to 60s, where the prompt duration is rounded to the nearest number of seconds. A total of 122s is available to store all the recordings. The device will reboot automatically when you hangup if any of the prompts have been modified and saved. Furthermore you can enter a text description for each recorded prompt as a reminder of the contents of the prompt (under the Voice Services - Auto Attendant configuration page).

 

Remote Provisioning

This is the process by which OBi devices download a configuration file from a server, which may be located in the cloud or in the same enterprise. The configuration file may contain all the necessary parameter values for the device to function normally, it may also tell the device to download an additional configuration file from a different URL, or to download a different firmware to replace the current one, and so on. The configuration file format and parameter naming conventions are proprietary to Obihai but are common across all Obihai products.

There are currently two configuration file formats supported: A full XML format with the XML tags in full text and a short XML format with the XML tags substituted with a single letter abbreviation. The XML structure and parameter naming convention closely follows TR-069/TR-104. For a full description of the configuration file and parameter names, please refer to the OBi Device Provisioning Guide.





 
Similar to the way parameters are grouped under different device configuration web pages, parameters are grouped into a number of configuration objects for remote provisioning. In fact you will find a near one-to-one correspondence between these objects and their location within the configuration web pages. To illustrate this, consider the web page SP1 Service, the SIP Credentials section:




The corresponding configuration object in a phone configuration XML file is:

VoiceService.1.VoiceProfile.1.Line.1.SIP.

as shown below:

<Object>

<Name>VoiceService.1.VoiceProfile.1.Line.1.SIP.</Name>

<ParameterValueStruct>

<Name>AuthUserName</Name>

<Value  X_UseDefault="Yes"/>

</ParameterValueStruct>

<ParameterValueStruct>

<Name>X_EnforceRequestUserID</Name>

<Value  X_UseDefault="Yes"/>

</ParameterValueStruct>

</Object>



Note that the dot (.) at the end of the object name is part of the name that must not be omitted in the XML file. You must use the correct object name in order to create a valid configuration file for the phone. You can find the object name corresponding to each configuration web page/section listed at the end of this document.

The list of configuration parameters, syntaxes, and valid values for a specific device mode are collectively known as a data model of the device. The most up-to-date data model for the OBi500 can be found online at the following URL:

http://www1.obitalk.com/Downloads/dev/datamodel/obihai504.xml http://www1.obitalk.com/Downloads/dev/datamodel/obihai508.xml


ZT (Zero Touch): Device Customization at Obihai’s Factory

When products are shipped from the factory, they come with a set of default parameter values installed by Obihai for all customers. A service is also available from Obihai such that products shipped to a particular customer can have a small number of parameter values customized for that customer. For example, a very useful parameter to customize is the ITSP Provisioning::ConfigURL parameter which tells the phone where to download a configuration file. With this, the first time a new phone is powered on and connected to the network, it can automatically contact the designated URL to get the initial configuration file; hence the name “Zero-Touch”.

Note: ZT devices must contact OBiTALK.com one time to get the customized values before they can start normal operation. Make sure the device can access the Internet before first use.

 

Web Server-Based Local Configuration

The OBi device has an integrated device management web server which can be accessed from a PC or similar device using a browser.  Although all popular browsers are tested for compatibility with the OBi device management web server, there   may be inconsistencies which arise from time to time. Please contact support@obihai.com if you have any questions about the OBi device management web server and how it appears in your browser window.

Access the OBi Device Management Web Page:

  • From a phone attached to the OBi, dial * * * to access the OBi Config Attendant.
  • Choose “1” to hear the IP Address of the OBi read back to you. Write this down.
  • Enter the OBi IP Address in a local PC web browser address field:
  • When prompted, enter “admin” for user name and “admin” for password.

When you access the OBi device management web page, you will be prompted for a user name and password. There are two levels of access to the OBi web page – User Level and Admin Level. The default “user name / password” for User Level access is “user / user”. The default “user name / password” for Admin Level access is “admin / admin”. The Admin and/or User passwords may have been changed using the OBi device web page, provisioning by a service provider or via the OBiTALK web portal (Admin only). Please be sure you have access to the correct Admin or User password before you attempt to log on to the OBi Device Management Web Page.

The OBi device management web page is organized into sections to allow for a manageable and compartmentalized approach to configuring the many hundreds of parameters available on the OBi device. Use the expandable / collapsible menu tree on the left side of the page to easily navigate the various configuration parameter sections of the OBi device.



IMPORTANT: Every configuration page must be submitted individually after changes made on the page. Otherwise those changes will be discarded once you navigate to another page. Most changes will require a reboot of the unit (by clicking the reboot button for instance) to take effect. However, you may reboot the unit just once after you have made and submitted all the necessary changes on all the pages.


When the device is operating in router mode (OBi202 only), the built-in web server can be accessed from the LAN side or the WAN side. While access from the LAN side is always allowed, the access from the WAN side may be disabled by configuration for security reasons. In fact the WAN side access to the web server is disabled by default. You can enable this option on the device web page (from the LAN side), or by using the device configuration IVR (* * * 0 option 30).



Web Page Conventions and Icons & Buttons:


Icon / Button               Description                                                     Remark




This icon indicates that there is more information available which might describe the workings, limits or thresholds for the parameter to which it is adjacent. You can mouse over this icon to reveal this information.




When a modification has been made to a parameter on a page, the Submit button MUST be clicked before proceeding to another page.


 




If you make changes to a parameter on a page and you do not want to keep them for submission, click the “Clear Changes” button to revert back to the parameter setting present before the most recent change was entered.






Click the “Use Defaults Only” button if you want to revert all parameters on a given page to their Default settings. If you want to revert just one or two parameters on a page to default settings you should use the Default check box found on the right side of the parameter. See next Item.

You will be prompted to confirm that you want all the parameters on the page to revert back to system default settings.





When you wish to modify a parameter away from its default setting, you should un-check the ‘Default’ box. This will open the parameter field for access and modification. If there is a non- default setting in a parameter field and you want to revert that  parameter back to its default  setting, check the “Default” box and the default setting will appear.

Default value of a parameter may be changed with a firmware upgrade. Leaving a parameter at default setting allows the device to use proper default value with the firmware currently installed in the device



This icon indicates that the configuration currently programmed on the OBi device is “set” and “running”. No reboot is necessary if you have submitted configuration modifications.

This icon does not indicate the currently running configuration is working properly.





After Submitting changes to a web page on the OBi, the “Reboot Required” icon may appear. In order for the modifications to run, you will need to reboot the OBi.

You can continue to make modifications to OBi parameters – on separate pages if necessary – before you reboot and ”set” the modifications in the running system.





The “Reboot” button is used when the “Reboot Required” icon appears indicating the OBi device requires a reboot to invoke one or more parameter modifications.

When performing a System Configuration Reset, the Reboot button does  not need to be pressed. The OBi will reboot automatically when the “Reset” button is selected.

Router Configuration Web Pages                                                                               


The four Ethernet ports on the OBi500 by default work as a 4-port switch, but the device can also be configured to work as a router by setting the parameter LAN Settings:: OperationMode = Router. When working as a router, there are two possible WAN interfaces (to connect to the uplink). The primary interface is the Ethernet Port 1; the secondary interface is a LTE USB adapter connected to one of the USB ports, to connect to a 4G/LTE network for Internet access. The secondary interface will be used only when the primary interface is not available; the device is said to have failed over to the   secondary interface. The device will fail back to the primary interface when it becomes available again. The device configuration parameters that control the failover/failback operations are grouped under the parameter group  WAN   Failover Control.

String

RW



 

where N = 1 – 32

record is a mini script of the following format:

Name=A,A,A,...              OR

Name=R,R,R,...


where Name  represents the domain name to  be resolved locally, and has the format prefix+domain (such as machine.sip+obihai.com). Everything after ‘+’ is considered as the domain to be appended to the host field in each R on the right hand side. ‘+’ is optional; if missing the full domain must be used in every R.


A represents an A record which is just an IP address, such as 192.168.12.17.

R represents an SRV record and has the format:

{host:port,pri,wt} where

host is a hostname with or without domain part (such as xyz, xyz.abc.com.). A dot (.) at the end of host indicates it is a complete hostname that does not require the domain to be appended.

port is a port number (such as 5060)

pri is the priority. Valid value is 0(highest) – 65535(lowest)

wt is the weight. Valid value is 0(lowest) – 65535(highest)

wt is optional; 1 is the default if not specified.

pri is optional only if wt is not specified; 1 is the default if not specified.

port is optional; the default to use will be based on the protocol (5060 for SIP, 80 for HTTP, etc.) .

The enclosing curly braces { } are also optional if there is only one R; or

if there is no comma used inside the R. Examples:

_sip._udp+obihai.com=abc,xyz,pqr:5080,{mmm,2},{super.abc.com.}




abc.obihai.com=192.168.15.118,192.168.15.108




Note: If the A record of a given hostname cannot be found in any of the Local DNS Records, the device will attempt to resolve it using external DNS queries. Any change applied to local DNS Record needs reboot in

order to take effect.

Device Update Web Page

There are five different functions offered on this page. These functions are described below.

Firmware Update

You may upgrade the firmware for your OBi device from the device configuration web page. The firmware file with which you want to upgrade the device must be stored locally on a computer from which you can access with a web browser.

Follow these steps to upgrade:

Step 1: Select the, “System Management – Device Update” menu on the side panel of the web page.

Step 2: Specify the path of the firmware file by clicking the, “Select file to upgrade firmware” box or pressing the, “Browse” button in the Firmware Update section of the page. This will present a file browser window where you can navigate to and select the firmware file.

 

Step 3: Upon selection of the firmware file, press the “Update” button to start the upgrade process.

The entire process will take about 30 seconds to complete. Note that you MUST NOT disconnect the power from the device during this procedure. If the new firmware is upgraded successfully, the OBi device will reboot automatically to start running the new firmware. Otherwise the page will show an error message explaining why upgrade has failed.


Possible Error Messages on Firmware Update Failure:


Error Message

Description

Suggested Solution

Firmware Package Checksum Error

A corrupted Firmware package file has been used for the update.

Check the file and / or re-

download the firmware package and try again.

System Is Busy

The OBi device is busy because one of the phone services is in an active call or device provisioning is in

progress.

Try to update again later

Firmware Is Not Modified

The OBi device is already running the same firmware as

the one selected for update.

No need to upgrade.


Backup (Customized) AA User Prompts

Up to 20 individual prompts may be recorded through the device IVR interface (see Telephone-IVR-Based Local Configuration section). These prompts may be backed up into a single file from the web browser. The default name of the file is “backupaa.dat”. The backup file also includes the annotations entered for each recorded prompt.

To restore an AA prompt file onto an OBi, do it exactly like a firmware upgrade via the web browser but provide the device with the prompt file instead of a firmware file. The OBi can detect from the file header that you are trying to upload a prompt file and process the file accordingly. Warning: All the existing prompts in the device will be removed first when applying the backup file; this process cannot be undone.



Backup Configuration

The current configuration of the OBi device can be backed up and stored as a file in XML format at a user specified location. The default name of the file is “backupxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml”, where the xxxxxxxxxxxxxx represents the MAC address of unit.

When backing up a device’s configuration, you may select the following three options before selection of the “Backup”.


Option

Description

Default Setting

Incl. Running Status

If checked, the value of all status parameters will be included in

backup file. Otherwise, status parameters are excluded from the backup

No

Incl. Default Value

If checked, the default value of parameters will be included in the backup file. Otherwise, default values are excluded from the

backup

No

Use OBi Version

If not checked, the backup file uses XML tags that are compliant with TR-104 standard. Otherwise, the backup file will be stored in an OBi proprietary format where the XML tags are not compliant with TR-104; but the file size will be smaller and the file will be

more readable

No


When the file browser window pops up for, you can change the filename and choose the location to save the backup file. Note that different web browser might handle this differently. If the operation is blocked due to the security setting of the web browser, you should change the security setting temporarily to allow this operation to complete.

 

Restore Configuration

When restoring the configuration to a previous backup copy, you will need to specify the backup file you want to restore to by selecting the “Browse” button in the Restore Configuration section of the web page. Then, select the “Restore” button to start the process. The OBi device will automatically reboot, after the restoration is complete.

IMPORTANT Note: All passwords and PINs are excluded from the backup file. Hence they will not be available to restore. Call history is excluded from the backup, but can be saved as an XML formatted file separately from the Call History web page.



Reset Configuration (to Factory Default)

The OBi device may be reset to factory default condition. Call history and various statistical information will be removed at the same time. Resetting the device configuration should be used  with  extreme  caution  as the operation  cannot  be undone. To do this you press the “Reset” button in the Reset Configuration section. A confirmation window will pop up. The OBi device then proceeds to reset the configuration once you confirm that this is indeed what you want to do. The OBi device will reboot automatically when factory reset is completed.

 

SIP Service Provider Features of the OBi Device                                                    


The following section describes the SIP Service Provider features of the OBi device. Up to 9 SIP accounts (or SIP Trunks) can be configured on the OBi. For the purposed of this document and elsewhere on OBi device web page, documentation and  the OBiTALK portal, the term ITSP is used to describe the logical entity providing the SIP Trunk service to the OBi. ITSP stands for Internet Telephony Service Provider. Please note that when the OBi is used in conjunction with an IP PBX, the IP PBX would take the place of the ITSP if it is the entity providing the SIP Trunk account credential and connectivity to the OBi.

Each ITSP configuration is grouped together as an ITSP Profile. There are 9 ITSP profiles available as well and we refer to them as ITSP Profile A, B, C, …, H and I respectively. The SP service account specifics on the other hand are grouped under the heading SPn Service, where n = 1, 2,…, 9. An ITSP Profile includes such parameters as ProxyServer, OutboundProxy, and DigitMap, but does not include account specific parameters. A SP Service includes account specific parameters such as AuthUserName (usually the phone number of the account), AuthPassword, CallerIDName, and X_ServProfile (which ITSP Profile to assume). If both SP Service use the same ITSP, then only one ITSP Profile needs to be configured with both SP Services referred to the same profile.

From the OBi device point of view, the SPn Service using ITSP Profile X is enabled with the following minimal settings:

ITSP Profile X – SIP::ProxyServer = a-non-empty-value SPn Service::Enabled = true

SPn Service::AuthUsername = a-non-empty-value

where X = A, B, C, …, H or I, and n = 1, 2, …, 8 or 9. Otherwise the service is considered disabled.



SIP Registration

Device can be setup to periodically register with a SIP Proxy Server or SIP Registration Server. SIP Proxy Server and SIP Registration Server can be different, although they are usually the same in practice. SIP Proxy Server is a required parameter that must be configured on the OBi device. The Registration Server is optional and assumed to be the same as the SIP Proxy Server if it is not configured on the device.

The main purpose of registration is to create and maintain a dynamic binding of the SIP account to the device’s local contact address. Service provider can also rely on this periodic message to infer if the device is online and functional. Each OBi device takes only one local IP address that is either statically assigned in the device’s configuration, or dynamically obtained from a local DHCP server. The SPn services for n = 1 – 9 on the other hand each use a different local contact port for sending and receiving SIP messages (default is 5060, 5061, 5062, …, 5067, and 5068 respectively).

Note that dynamic address binding through periodic registration is not strictly necessary if the local IP address of the device does not change; the device’s contact address may be statically configured on the Registration Server.



SIP Outbound Proxy Server

An outbound proxy server can be configured on the device such that all outbound requests are sent via the outbound proxy server instead of directly to the SIP Proxy Server or Registration Server.

 

DNS Lookup of SIP Servers

When sending out SIP requests to the server, the device looks up the IP address of the server using standard DNS query if the server is specified as a domain name instead of an IP address. If Outbound Proxy Server is configured, it is used instead of the SIP Proxy Server or SIP Registration Server. The resolution of the server domain name into IP address is performed in the following manner:

  • Try looking up the name as DNS A Record. If not found.
  • Try looking up the name as DNS SRV Record. If not found.
  • Try looking up the name as DNS SRV Record with “_sip._udp. “ prepended to the hostname. If not found, fail the request.

If the result from the DNS query is a SRV record, the server port is taken from that record also (the server port value configured on the device is ignored). Otherwise, the server port is taken from the configured value or use 5060 if none specified.



NAT Traversal Considerations

If the device sits behind a NAT (typically the case), it can discover the mapped external address corresponding to its local SIP contact address as seen by the server in one of the following ways:

  • From the “received=” and “rport=” parameters of the VIA header of the REGISTER response sent by the server; these two parameters tells the device its mapped IP address and port number respectively. This method is used if periodic registration is enabled on the device
  • From the response to a STUN binding request the device sent to a STUN server. This method is used by enabling X_KeepAliveEnable and setting the X_KeepAliveMsgType parameter to “stun”. In that case, the STUN server is taken from the X_KeepAliveServer parameter, if it is specified. Otherwise, the keep-alive messages are sent to the same server where a REGISTER request would be sent to. The latter is the most effective way of using STUN to discover the mapped external contact address

The device always uses the mapped external contact address in all outbound SIP requests instead of its local contact address if one is discovered by either method discovered above.



SIP Proxy Server Redundancy and Dual REGISTRATION

Server Redundancy specifically refers to the OBi device’s capability to a) look for a working server to REGISTER with from among a list of candidates, and b) switch to another server once the server that it currently registers with becomes unresponsive. In other words, DEVICE REGISTRATION MUST BE ENABLED in order to use the server redundancy feature. Other SIP requests, such as INVITE or SUBSCRIBE, are sent to the same server that the device currently registers with.

If Outbound Proxy Server is provided, server redundancy is applied to the Outbound Proxy Server instead of the REGISTRATION server. Server redundancy behavior is enabled by enabling the parameter ITSP Profile X – SIP::X_ProxyServerRedundancy (which is disabled by default).

Another requirement for using the server redundancy feature is that the underlying server must be configured in the device  as a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows the OBi to collect a list of candidate servers based on DNS query.

The domain name may be looked up as DNS A record or DNS SRV record. For A records, all the IP addresses returned by the DNS server are considered to have the same priority. For SRV records, the hosts returned by the DNS server can be each assigned a different priority.

 

After a list of candidate servers are obtained, the OBi device will first look for a working server according to the stated priority. A working server means one that the device can successfully registers with. This is known as the Primary Server. Subsequently, the device maintains registration with the primary server the usual way. However, if no working server is found after traversing the entire list, device takes a short break and repeats the search in the same order.

While maintaining registration with the Primary Server, the OBi will continually attempt to fallback to one of the candidate servers that has higher priority than the primary server, if any. The list of candidate servers that the device is trying to fallback on is known as the primary fallback list, which may be empty.

In addition, an OBi device can be configured to maintain a secondary registration with a server that has lower or equal priority than the primary server. Secondary registration can be enabled by setting the parameter X_SecondaryRegistration to true. If X_ProxyServerRedundancy is false, however, X_SecondaryRegistration does not take any effect. If this feature is enabled, as soon as a primary server is found, the   OBi will search for a working secondary server in the same manner from the list of candidate servers that are of lower or equal priority than the primary server. Similarly, once a secondary server is found, the OBi forms a secondary fallback list to continually attempt to fallback on if the list is not empty.

The interval for checking the primary fallback list and the secondary fallback list are configured in the parameter X_CheckPrimaryFallbackInterval and X_CheckSecondaryFallbackInterval respectively. These parameters are specified in seconds and the default value is 60 for both.

Notes:

  • Secondary server exists implies primary server exists.
  • If the secondary server exists, it immediately becomes the primary server when the current primary server is fails; device then starts searching for a new secondary server if the candidate set is not empty.
  • The candidate list may change (lengthened, shortened, priority changed, etc.) on every DNS renewal (based on the entry’s TTL). Device will rearrange the primary and secondary servers and fallback lists accordingly, whichever applicable.

If the server redundancy feature is disabled, the device resolves only one IP address from the server’s domain name, and will not attempt to try other IP addresses if the server is not responding.



SIP Privacy

The OBi device observes inbound caller privacy and decodes caller’s name and number from SIP INVITE requests by checking the FROM, P-Asserted-Identity (PAID for short), and Remote-Party-ID (RPID for short) message headers. All these headers may carry caller’s name and number information.

If PAID is present, device takes the name and number from it. Otherwise, it takes name and number from RPID if it is present, or from the FROM header otherwise. RPID, if present, will include privacy setting desired by the caller. This privacy may indicate one of the following options:

  • off = no privacy requested; the OBi will show name and number.
  • full = full privacy requested; the OBi will hide both name and number.
  • name = name privacy requested; the OBi will show the number but hide the name.
  • uri = uri privacy requested; the OBi will show the name but hide the number.

Regardless, if PAID exists or not, the device always takes the privacy setting from the RPID if it is present in the INVITE request. Note that if the resulting caller name is “Anonymous” (case-insensitive), device treats it as if the caller is requesting full privacy.

For outbound calls, caller’s preferred privacy setting can be stated by the device in a RPID header of the outbound INVITE request. To enable this behavior, the parameter ITSP Profile X – SIP::X_InsertRemotePartyID must be set to true,

 

which is the default value of this parameter. OBi only supports two outbound caller privacy setting: privacy=off or privacy=full. The RPID header generated by the device carries the same name and number as the FROM header. If outbound caller-ID is blocked, the device sets privacy=full in RPID, and also sets the display name in the FROM and RPID headers to “Anonymous” for backward compatibility. The device will not insert PAID in outbound INVITE requests. Further, if ITSP Profile X – SIP::X_InsertRemotePartyID = true, the device also includes the SIP header Privacy: id in the outbound INVITE request when the user wishes for privacy for the call.



STUN and ICE

The OBi supports standard STUN based on RFC3489 and RFC5389 for passing inbound RTP packets to the device sitting behind NAT’s. The parameters that control STUN feature can be found under the section ITSP Profile X – General::

  • STUNEnable – To Enable this feature (default is false).
  • STUNServer – The IP address or domain name of the external STUN server to use. STUN feature will be disabled if this value is blank, which is the default.
  • X_STUNServerPort – The STUN Server’s listening UDP port. Default value 3478 (standard STUN port).

It should be noted that the STUN feature used in this context is only for RTP packets, not SIP signaling packets (which typically does not require STUN). The device’s sends out a STUN binding request right before making or answering a call on SPn. If the request is successful, the device decodes the mapped external address and port from the binding response and use them in the m= and c= lines of its SDP offer or answer sent to the peer device. If the request fails, such as STUN server not found or not responding, the call will go on without using external address in the SDP.

Standard RTP requires the use of even number port in the m= line. If the external port is not an even number, device changes the local RTP port and redo STUN, and will continue to do this up to 4 times or until an even external port number is found. If the 4th trial still results in an odd external port number, the call will go on without using external address in the SDP.

OBi supports standard ICE based on RFC5245. ICE is done on a per call basis for automatically discovering which peer address is the best route for sending RTP packets. To enable ICE on the device, set the parameter: ITSP Profile X – General::X_ICEEnable to true. The default is false.

Note that ICE would be more effective if STUN is also enabled. However STUN not a requirement for using ICE on the device. If STUN is enabled and an external RTP address different from its local address is discovered, OBi offers two ICE candidates in its SDP:

  • The local (host) address (highest priority)
  • The external (srflx or server reflexive) address

Otherwise only the local host candidate is shown in the device’s SDP. Note that the device uses the srflx address in the m= and c= lines of the SDP if STUN is enabled and successful.

If ICE is enabled and peer’s SDP has more than one candidate, device sends STUN requests to each peer candidate from its local RTP port. As soon as it receives a response from the highest priority candidate, device concludes ICE and uses this candidate to communicate with the peer subsequently. Otherwise, the OBi allows up to 5s to wait for the response from all the candidates, and selects the highest priority one that has a response. Once ICE is completed successfully, the device will further apply symmetric RTP concept to determine the peer’s RTP address (i.e., send to the address where peer’s RTP packets are coming from).

 

ITSP Driven Distinctive Ringing

OBi device offers 10 ring and 10 call-waiting tone patterns in each ring profile. These patterns are numbered from 1 to 10. Each pattern also comes with a configurable name. A different default ring may be assigned to each trunk on the device.


An ITSP can tell OBi device which ring to use by name for a call routed to SPn by inserting an Alert-Info header in the SIP INVITE sent to the device. The Alert-Info must include a URI. For example:


Alert-Info: http://www.xyz.com/some-folder/bellcore-dr4


When the device receives this, it will look for a ring tone name or call-waiting tone name in the ring profile that matches the Alert-Info URI. Ring tone names are compared case- insensitively. If a match is found, device plays the corresponding ring or call-waiting tone. Otherwise, device plays the default ring.



RTP Statistics – the X-RTP-Stat Header

When ending an established call, OBi device can include a summary of the RTP statistics collected during the call in the SIP BYE request or the 200 response to the SIP BYE request sent by the peer device. The summary is carried in an X-RTP-Stat header in the form of a comma separated list of fields. The reported fields are:

PS=[Number of Packets Sent] PR=[Number of Packets Received] OS=[Number of bytes sent] OR=[Number of bytes received] PL=[Number of packets lost] JI=[Jitter in milliseconds]

LA=[Decode latency or jitter buffer size in milliseconds] DU=[Call duration in seconds]

EN=[Last Encoder Used] DE=[Last Decoder Used]


For example:

X-RTP-Stat:PS=1234,OS=34560,PR=1236,OR=24720,JI=1,DU=1230,PL=0,EN=G711U, DE=G711U


To enable the X-RTP-Stat feature, the parameter ITSP Profile X – SIP::X_InsertRTPStats must be set to true.



Media Loopback Service

The OBi supports the media loopback draft as described in draft-mmusic-media-loopback-13.txt. The following media loopback features are supported by the OBi device:

  • Loopback modes: loopback-source and loopback-mirror
  • Loopback types: rtp-media-loopback and rtp-packet-loopback
  • Loopback packet formats:: encaprtp, loopbkprimer

When acts as a loopback mirror, OBi device always sends primer packets so that incoming packets can get through NAT/Firewall. The media loopback feature is controlled by the following parameters (under PHONE Port – Calling Features section):

  • AcceptMediaLoopback – Enable device to accept incoming call that requests media loopback. Default is true.
  • MediaLoopbackAnswerDelay – The delay in milliseconds before the OBi answers a media loopback call.

Default is 0.

  • MediaLoopbackMaxDuration  – The maximum duration to allow for an incoming media loopback call. Default  is 0, which means the duration is unlimited.
 

Note that the device will reject incoming media loopback call if:

  • Any PHONE port is off hook.
  • Any PHONE port is ringing.
  • Any PHONE port is onhook with a call on hold.

Device will terminate an inbound media loopback call already in progress when:

  • Any PHONE port is off-hook.
  • Any PHONE port is ringing.

To make an outgoing loopback call, user can dial one of the following star codes before dialing the target number:

  • *03 – Make a Media Loopback Call.
  • *04 – Make a RTP Packet Loopback Call.

Note that outbound Media Loopback Call is not subjected to call duration limit; it will last until the user hangs up or until the called device ends the call.

Google Voice™ Service                                                                                                


OBi device includes a native implementation of the Google Talk™ (XMPP) protocol that allows the user to use the Google Voice™ communications service as the SPn service, n = 1 – 9. To enable Google Voice for an SP service, set the underlying ITSP Profile X General::Protocol parameter to Google  Voice (the default value of this parameter is “SIP”), where X = A, B, …, H, or I. All SP services can be enabled for Google Voice, with a different account on each service.

Google Voice offers a call screening feature such that you must press digit 1 before answering an incoming GV call. OBi device can be setup to automatically do that for you when you pick up the phone. To enable this feature on the device, set the X_SkipCallScreening parameter to true (default is false) (on the device web page, under the SPn Service – CallingFeatures section).

Please note that the codec is limited to G711u only for all calls.

When Google Voice is selected as the protocol, all the other ITSP Profile parameters are ignored except the DigitMap parameter. The following SPn Service parameters are also ignored:

  • X_Codec_Profile, X_RegisterEnable, X_UserAgentPort, X_UserAgentPorts
  • X_SipDebugOption, X_SipDebugExclusion
  • X_AcceptSipFromRegistrarOnly, X_NoRegNoCall
  • X_KeepAliveEnable, X_KeepAliveExpires, X_KeepAliveServer, X_KeepAliveServerPort, X_KeepAliveMsgType, X_CustomKeepAliveMsg
  • X_SatelliteMode, X_AcceptResync
  • AuthPassword, URI, X_ContactUserID, X_EnforceRequestUserID, CallerIDName
  • MaxSessions, X_AcceptDialogSubscription, X_AcceptLinePortStatusSubscription
  • X_MWIRoute, X_VMWIRoute, X_SRTP


The following features are also supported:

  • MWI (Message Waiting Indication) and VMWI (Visual Message Waiting Indication) for Google Voicemail.
  • Non-Gmail domain in account name for Google Voice Communications Service.
  • Accept DTMF input from a Google Talk client entered by the user as text messages (only 0 – 9, *, and # will be recognized by the device).
  • Accept the setting of the parameter ITSP Profile X – General::DTMFMethod. The value can be either InBand or RFC2833. Other values will be reverted to RFC2833. Default is RFC2833.
  • Voice Service Features of the OBi Device.

by the UAS with a 401 or 407 Response

String

RW


URI

This parameter affects the way the AOR is formed by the device in outbound SIP Requests. The AOR has the format: user@domain.

If the value of URI is empty, device gets the user portion of its AOR from the AuthUserName, and the domain portion the value of ITSP Profile’s UserAgentDomain if it is not empty, or that of the ProxyServer otherwise.

If the value URI is not empty and does not contain “@”, it is used as the user portion of the AOR while the domain portion is formed the usual way.

If the value of URI contains “@’, it is interpreted as a full AOR and device takes it as the AOR as is.


Some Examples:

Let ProxyServer = sip.myitsp.com, AuthUserName = 4089991123, URI=[empty], UserAgentDomain=[empty], then

AOR = 4089991123@sip.myitsp.com


Change UserAgentDomain to users.myitsp.com, then AOR = 4089991123@users.myitsp.com


Change URI to bobdylan, then AOR = bobdylan@users.myitsp.com


Change URI to bobdylan@superusers.myitsp.com, then

AOR = bobdylan@superusers.myitsp.com


Note: In all cases, device uses AuthUserName and

AuthUserPassword to compute authorization if challenged by a 401 or 407 response.

OBiTALK Service – Inbound Direct Dialing Authentication (VoiceService.1.X_P2P.1.VoiceGateway.)

AuthMethod

The OBiTALK protocol allows incoming calls to indicate a target number that is different from this device’s OBi number. The device in that case will attempt to establish and bridge the call to the target number according to the rules configured in the trunk’s InboundCallRoute parameter. Hence this device acts as a gateway and the method is referred to direct dialing or 1-stage dialing (versus 2-stage dialing via the Auto- Attendant). Since the caller is not able to enter a PIN in such cases, an automated method based on signalling protocol must be used to authenticate the caller if authentication is required. OBi device offers the following choices for this purpose:

None = Disable authentication

HTTP  Digest = Use HTTP Digest with User-ID and Password pairs. Note that at least one of AuthPasswordx (x=1,2,3,4) must be specified,

otherwise authentication is disabled.

Note: If AuthPasswordx is specified, AuthUserIDx may be set to blank to let the device use the default value which is a special hash of the AuthPasswordx. This is only applicable if the external gateway is also an OBi device that understands how to generate the default AuthUserIDx using the same hash function.

 

Auto Attendant Service                                                                                               


Automated Attendant

The OBi call processing Auto Attendant (AA) invoked by including “aa” in the inbound call routing rule associated the interface on the OBi processing an incoming call. When connecting to the AA in this manner, there are two options at present.

Note: At present an OBi device supports only 1 session of AA at a time. Additional calls routed to the AA while a session is in progress will be rejected by the AA as busy.



AA Callback Service

The OBi offers two methods for the AA to call you back at a number that you picked (or designated by the admin of the OBi device).

The first method is by statically configuring a trunk’s InboundCallRoute. A rule can be added to the InboundCallRoute parameter to have the AA call back the caller’s or any other number, if the caller hangs up before the AA answers. The rule should indicate that aa(callback-number) is the target destination of the call, where callback-number is the number that the AA should call back if the caller hangs up before the AA answers the call. For example, the following rule

{(<**1>(14089913313|12121559801)):aa($1)}

says that: if 14089913313 or 12121559801 calls, the call is routed to AA. If caller hangs up before the AA answers, AA calls the number represented by $1. Recall that $1 is expanded into the caller number after processing by the digit map on the    left side of the colon. In this case it is the caller’s number prepended by **1. The **1 is required for outbound call routing when AA calls back; here it indicates SP1 is to be used for calling back (assuming default value of the AA OutboundCallRoute parameter)

The parameter AA Service::CallbackAnswerDelay controls the number of milliseconds before AA answers when a callback number is specified as shown in the example. The default value is 10000 ms. Without the (callback-number) argument, the AA behaves the normal way and the answer delay is governed by the parameter AA Service::AnswerDelay.

The second method is by selecting AA option 3 to “Enter a callback number” after the AA answers the call. Caller can explicitly enter the number to be called back by the AA. If a valid number is entered, AA says “Thank You” and “Goodbye”, and then starts calling back 2s after the current call has ended. If number entered is invalid, AA plays SIT tone followed by an error message. Note that the variable $1 (representing the caller’s number) is carried over to the subsequent AA callback call. The AA DigitMap can include $1 to be used in a callback context. For example, the following rule in the AA DigitMap

(<00:**1$1>|…  )

says that if the AA dials 00, the device will transform it into the caller’s number prepended by **1. In other words, if the caller wants the AA to callback the current number (typically the case), he can simple enter 00# after selecting option 3 on the AA menu. Note that $1 can only be used as part of a substitution element in the digit map; it must not be used for matching elements since its value is unknown.

Press 2 to make a new call.

If “UsePIN” authentication is enabled and the user enters a matching PIN, the OBi Attendant will immediately prompt the user to enter number followed by the pound (#) key. If the entered PIN is not a match, the Attendant will give the user two additional attempts to  enter the PIN.   If the third attempt does not match,  the Attendant will announce a thank you message and disconnect the call.

3

Press 3 to enter a callback number.

If a valid number is entered, AA says “Thank you” and “Goodbye”, hangs up, and then callback the number in 2s. It the given number is invalid, AA plays SIT tone followed by an error message.

Tips: Caller can simply dial 00# to have the AA call back his current number.


User Recorded Prompts

The OBi supports 20 user recordable prompts which are referred to as the User1 to User20 prompt respectively. See the section Telephone-IVR-Based Local Configuration on how they can be recorded, or the section Customized AA Prompts Backup & Restore on how they can be duplicated from one device onto another device.



Customizing AA Prompt Lists

AA does not play individual user prompts directly. Instead it plays a comma separated list of prompt elements, known as a Prompt List. A prompt element can be a user prompt with optional parameters, or a control element. A user prompt is referred as %User<N>% where <N> = 1 – 20. In a prompt list this may be followed by a ;r=<start>-<end> parameter that specifies the range to play for that prompt, where

<start> = starting time mark in milliseconds; 0 is the default if omitted

<end> = ending time mark in milliseconds; the end of the prompt is the default if omitted If the r= parameter is omitted, the full range of the prompt is played.


Examples:

%User1%;r=1000                        = play User1 prompt starting at 1000ms mark to the end

%User2%                                      = play the entire User2 prompt from start to finish

%User3%;r=1300-3720             = play User3 prompt starting from 1300ms mark to the 3720ms mark

%User4%;r=3200-1200             = does not play anything since <end> is less than <start>



Each prompt list control elements starts with a ‘&’ in a prompt list. The following control elements are supported: &pause(<duration>)  = pause playing for a number of seconds as given by the <duration> parameter


An example of prompt list:

 

%User1%;r=105,&pause(3),%User5%,%User9%;r=0-1350,&pause(15)



You can replace any of the following AA prompt lists with your own specified prompt lists:

See OBi Call Routing and Digit Map Section for a description of





the syntaxes to specify this parameter





Note that while forking to multiple numbers in an AA





outbound call routing rule is not supported on OBi100 and





OBi110, it is supported on the OBi202.





For example, on the OBi202 you may have a rule like this:





{0:ph,ph2} which forks to ring both PHONE1 and PHONE2. In





general you can have up to 4 destinations is a forking rule. On





the other hand, you must not specify more than one





destination number on the OBi100 and OBi110.

Call Park                                                                                                                       


Call park is a special terminal that lets a phone user park the call and later retrieve it. Call park is referred to with the short name in PK in call routing rules. You can specify some parameters in parenthesis when using PK in a routing rule. The general syntax is

pk(type;s=source[;d=delay][;n=iteration])

 

where

 


type = one of the following (required)

  • parkxx (literal ‘park’ followed by 2-digit slot ID xx) – Park a call at slot xx
  • pickupxx (literal ‘pickup’ followed by 2-digit slot ID xx) – Pickup the call at slot xx
  • aa – Use the parking lot as the entry point to a multi-level AA based on PMR*
  • moh – Use the parking lot as an MOH Source

source = ID (1–12) of the PMR* to use (required) delay = Delay in seconds in answering (optional)

iteration = Number of times to play the prompt (in the given PMR); 0 means play forever. Default is 0. (optional)

 



  • See the section Multi-Level AA with PMR for more details on PMR



 

Examples:

 


–      pk(aa;d=4;s=2;n=1)

–      pk(moh;s=1)

 



By default factory configuration, a phone user can dial 6xx to park a call at the slot xx and dial 7xx to pick up the call parked at slot xx (where xx is a 2-digit number). User may dial 6** to park the call at the first available slot in the range 00 – 99, and 7** to pick up to oldest call parked in the range 00 – 99. Similarly, user may dial 6x* to park the call in the first available slot in the range x0 – x9 and dial 7x* to pick up the oldest call parked in the range x0 – x9 (where x is a digit 0–9). Whenever one or more call is parked (with type = parkxx) , all of the phones will play a short ring periodically as a reminder. The pattern of this ring is configurable using the parameter X_CallParkedRing on the SPn Service Web Page.

If the user attempts to park a call at a slot that has already been occupied, she will hear fast busy. If the user attempts to    pick up a call from a slot that is unoccupied, she will hear fast busy also. Calls parked as type aa or moh are not available for call pickup.

 

Multi-Level AA with PMR                                                                                          


The AA described above provides a simple single-level menu. In this section we describe another method that can be used to provide a more general multi-level AA function. This method is based on PMR, which stands for Prompt-digitMap- callRoute.

Prompt List

A Prompt List is A comma separated list of prompt elements and control elements, such as such as:

'Thank  you'  for  'your  call',  &pause(1)

A prompt element in a prompt list can be a system provided prompt or a user recorded prompt. A system prompt is referred to by its name in the prompt list, such as music, while a user prompt is referred to by its name surrounded by a pair of %, such as %USER1%, %USER2%, etc. Each prompt element may include an “r=” parameter that specifies the range to play for that prompt. The full syntax of a prompt element is:

<Prompt Name>[;r=[<start>][-<end>]]

where

  • [x] indicates an optional element x
  • <Prompt Name> = Name of the prompt. Currently available are %User1%, …, %User20%, and
  • music (a system provided music fragment)
  • 'Thank  you'  for  'your  call'  (the phrase: Thank you for your call)
  • Please  enter  extension (the phrase: Please enter extension)
  • <start> = starting point in milliseconds to play the given prompt; play from the beginning if this value equals to 0 or not specified
  • <end> = ending point in milliseconds to play the given prompt; play to the end if this value equals to 0 or not specified
  • If the [;r=…] parameter is not specified, play the entire prompt from the beginning to the end



Examples of prompt element:

  • %User1%                      (play the User1 prompt from the beginning to the end)
  • music;r=1000-8500    (play the music prompt starting from the 1000ms mark to the 8500ms mark
  • %User2%;r=-2500       (play the User2 prompt starting from beginning to the 2500ms mark
  • %User20%;r=1300      (play the User20 prompt starting from the 1300ms mark to the end
  • %User15%;r=32-12    (play anything since <end> < <start>)



A control element in a prompt list starts with the letter ‘&’. The following control elements are supported:

  • &pause(<duration>) – Pause for the given duration in seconds. For example: &pause(10)
  • &call([target]) – Call the target number given in trunk(number) format. For example: &call(sp1(14083331234)), &call(aa3)
 

PMR

A PMR is a triplet parameter object that includes:

  • A Prompt List as described in the last section
  • A DigitMap: Acceptable digit patterns while the prompt list is being played
  • A CallRoute: Where to send the call when a matching digit pattern is entered.

You can define up to 12 PMR in the OBi500, where each is identified by the ID 1 – 12. The PMR parameters are grouped under the Auto Attendant web page. A PMR is invoked by specifying its ID as the value of the “s” parameter in the argument of a PK (Call Park) Terminal in a call routing rule. For example:

pk(aa;d=4;s=2;n=1)

routes the call to the parking lot that

  • Behaves as an AA
  • Answers the call in 4 seconds
  • Starts with PMR 2 and plays the prompts list once



Rules in a PMR’s CallRoute parameter can be specified to refer to another PMR with the general syntax:

pm(id[;n=iteration][;i=input])

where

  • id: ID of the target PMR to “jump to”; -1 will “go-back” to the last PMR in the stack (or end the call if already at the top of the stack
  • iteration: number of times to play the prompt list for; 0 to play forever (optional with 0 implied)
  • input: optional pre-entered input digits, if any, to pass to the target PMR; this allows user to dial-ahead during the current PMR the input for the next PMR. You can set input = $2 to use the matching input digits (after transformation by the DigitMap) that triggers the rule in CallRoute as the pre-entered input. For example:

{(x?):pm(6;n=2;i=$2)}

Multiple PMR can be daisy-chained to support the function of a multi-level AA. By default, PMR1, PMR2, and PMR3 are configured with the following values:

  • PMR 1 Default:
  • PromptList = music
  • DigitMap = <blank>
  • OutboundCallRoute = <blank>
  • Suitable to be used for MOH
  • PMR 2 Default:
  • PromptList = ‘Thank you’ for ‘your call’,&pause(1)
  • DigitMap = ([0-8])
 
  • OutboundCallRoute = {(x?):pm(3;n=2;i=$2)}
  • PMR 3 Default:
  • PromptList = Please Enter Extension,&pause(5)
  • DigitMap = ([0-8])

–      OutboundCallRoute = {?|0|1:ph} ,{2,ph2} ,{3,ph3} ,{4,ph4} ,{5,ph5} ,{6,ph6} ,{7,ph7} ,{8,ph8}

Default PMR 2 and PMR 3 form a simple AA as found in OBiPLUS default AA3/AA4. To use this function, simply route an incoming call to pm(2)

 

Voice Gateways and Trunk Groups                                                                             


Voice Gateway

A gateway in this context is another OBi device which lets incoming OBiTALK callers to call further on one or more of its trunks (such as SP1). The caller can call the gateway first with a normal OBiTALK call, get the AA, and then dial the target number. For authentication the AA may ask the user to enter a PIN before establishing the second call. This way of dialing is known as 2-stage dialing.

On the other hand, a gateway can be configured on the originating OBi device such that the caller can dial the target number directly without going through the AA. We refer to this method of dialing as direct dialing or 1-stage dialing. Since it is not possible to enter a PIN in the case of direct dialing, a userid/password pair can be configured for the gateway also so that the device can authenticate with the gateway automatically using HTTP digest method. HTTP digest authentication is optional. You do not need to provide user/password if the gateway does not require authentication for direct dialing.

OBi allows the user to specify up to 8 gateways. Each gateway is addressed using its factory-assigned OBi Number. A gateway is conceptually a trunk with its own DigitMap. You can refer to a gateway and its associated DigitMap with the short trunk name VGn and (Mvgn) respectively, for n = 1, 2, 3, …, 8. VGn and (Mvgn) can be used in call routing rules and digit maps just like other real trunks.

As an example, you can add the rule {(1xxx xxx xxxx):vg2} in PHONE port’s OutboundCallRoute to let the device dials out using VGs when caller dials any 11-digit number starting with 1. On the gateway side, you can add the corresponding rule

{>(1 xxx xxx xxxx):sp1} in the OBiTALK Service::InboundCallRoute to make the call on its SP1 trunk. You can change the last rule to {(290 333 100|200 444 101)>(1 xxx xxx xxxx):sp1} if you want to limit the gateway to allow just the two stated caller numbers to make such calls.

A gateway may also be configured with a SIP URL as the access number to be accessed by the device over one of the SP trunks. For example, one can set the gateway access number as SP1(some-sip-server.mydomain.com), or SP2(192.168.15.111:5062), etc. Note that when using a SP trunk to access a (SIP) gateway, the device will:

  • Not use the outbound proxy, ICE, or STUN regardless the settings on the SP trunk.
  • Use only the device’s local address as the SIP Contact, and ignore any natted address discovered by the device.
  • Use the gateway’s SIP URL to form the FROM header of the outbound INVITE.
  • Use the gateway’s AuthUserID and AuthPassword for authentication.
  • Apply the symmetric RTP concept.



Trunk Groups

As the name implies, a trunk group is a group of trunks. If a call is routed to a trunk group, OBi picks one of the available trunks from the group to make the call. Availability of trunk is based on:

  • Whether the trunk’s digit map allows the number to call, AND
  • Whether the trunk has capacity to make one more call

Up to 4 trunk groups can be configured on an OBi device. Each trunk group is conceptually another trunk with its own DigitMap. A trunk group and its associated DigitMap are referenced using the short name TGn and (Mtgn) respectively, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4. They can be referenced in other digit maps and call routing rules so that calls may be routed to a particular trunk group.

 

Only trunks can be added to a trunk group. These include: PP1, SP1 – SP9, BT1, BT2, VG1, VG2, …, VG8, TG1, TG2, … TG4. Note that a TG may include another TG (that is, TG can be recursive). However, you must make sure this does not result in infinite recursion.

Phone Interface Features of the OBi  Device                                                           


Repeat Dialing Service

Repeat dialing service is when a user dials *05 to tell the device to redial the last called number repeatedly while the phone is onhook, until the called party rings or answers. When that happens, device rings the PHONE port and the user can pick it up to talk to the called party. Typically the last called number was busy when the user invokes this feature, but the device allows this feature for all cases.

This feature can be controlled with the following two parameters (under the PHONE Port – Calling Feature section):

  • RepeatDialInterval = the minimum number of seconds between each redial. Default is 30s
  • RepeatDialExpires = the maximum duration in seconds when the repeat dialing remains active. Default is 1800s

User dials *06 to cancel Repeat Dialing. Only one repeat dial request is supported. Dialing *05 while a repeat dial is in progress will be rejected with a fast busy tone. If *05 is accepted, the device plays normal dial tone.

Notes:

  • The first redial happens 5s after the phone is onhook following *05
  • When phone is offhook or rings for an incoming call, device pauses redial and cancels the call if it’s already dialed but the peer device is not ringing yet.
  • As soon as phone goes on hook or ringing stops without any calls on hold, repeat dialing resumes in 5s
  • If called party answers before the local caller, device sends normal ringback tone over RTP to the called party
  • The ring for alerting local user when the called party rings or answers is taken from outgoing trunk’s RepeatDialRing parameter
  • Repeat Dial service cannot be used on the LINE port. If the last call was made over the LINE port, dialing *05 will result in fast busy
  • Repeat Dial calls are not logged to call history, except the last and successful one when the called party rings or answers

DigitMap

This Digit map serves to restrict the numbers that can be dialed or called from the PHONE port. If the caller dials a number that is not allowed by the digit map, OBi plays SIT tone followed by a short error message to let the caller know that the dialed number is invalid.

See OBi Call Routing and Digit Map Section for a description of the syntaxes to specify a digit map.

String

the DigitMap, OBi device uses this outbound call routing rule



below


to determine which service to make this call with. If no





appropriate call route found, OBi plays SIT tone followed by a





short error message to let the caller know that there is no





call route to place the call.





See OBi Call Routing and Digit Map Section for a description

{(<**4:>(Msp4)):sp4},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}

CallReturnDigitMaps

Call Return is the service where the user can call the last caller by dialing a star code (*69 by default). OBi device implements this service by remembering the number of the last caller in memory. However the stored information does not include any dialing prefix to tell the device which voice service to use to call back the last caller. This list of digit maps serve the purpose of mapping a caller’s number to one that includes the desired dialing prefix used exclusively for

call return service.

String

RW

See insert below

Default Setting:


{pli:(xx.)},{sp1:(<**1>xx.)},{sp2:(<**2>xx.)},  {sp3:(<**3>xx.)},

{sp4:(<**4>xx.)},{bt1:(<**81>xx.)},{bt2:(<**82>xx.)},{pp:(<**9>xx.)}

 

PrimaryLine

By primary line we mean the service that does not require any access code prefix (such as **1 or **9) when dialing; it is the default service to be used for making the call when no explicit access code prefix is entered. This parameter indicates to the device which voice service is considered as the primary line when dialing out from the PHONE port.

Available choices are:

SP1  Service               (code = sp1)

SP2  Service               (code = sp2)

SP3  Service               (code = sp3)

SP4  Service               (code = sp4)

SP5  Service               (code = sp5)

SP6  Service               (code = sp6)

SP7  Service               (code = sp7)

SP8  Service               (code = sp8)

SP9  Service               (code = sp9)

OBiTALK  Service    (code = pp1)

OBiBlueTooth  1         (code=bt1)

OBiBlueTooth  2         (code=bt2)

Trunk  Group  1          (code=tg1)

Trunk  Group  2          (code=tg2)


The OBi device process the parameter by substituting of the occurrences of pli and (Mpli) in DigitMap, OutboundCallRoute, and CallReturnDigitMaps with

the corresponding code and (Mcode).

CallCommandSignalMethod

Select the method to signal a command to the OBi when the phone is off-hook with an active call in connected state, while there is a second call on hold or ringing. The two choices are:

N.  America (uses hook switch events only)

Nordic  Regions (R1, R2, …), where R = hook flash or the ‘R’ button,

R0 = Reject the 2nd incoming call (applicable only if the 2nd call is ringing),

R1 = End current call, resume/answer the 2nd call R2 = Hold current call, resume/answer the 2nd call R3 = Conference the two calls

R4 = Transfer 2nd call peer to the 1st (not applicable if 2nd call

is ringing)

Choice

RW

N.  America

CallerIDEnable

Enable Caller ID Signal generation. This option can be set to Yes even if the attached phone is not capable of displaying Caller ID. There is no harm in sending Caller ID signal while

the phone is in the on hook state.

Bool

RW

false

CallWaitingCallerIDEnable

Enable Call Waiting Caller ID (CWCID) Signal generation.


CWCID signal is sent to the phone when it is in the off hook state. It starts with a handshake between the OBi device and the attached phone, by exchanging audible short tones. OBi will proceed with the transmission of the remaining Caller ID signal only if the handshake succeeds (with a phone is capable of displaying CWCID). In that case the phone mutes the handset earpiece until the CWCID signal is complete.

Some users however may still find the audible handshake tones objectionable, especially if their phones do not support CWCID. We recommend to those users to set this option to No, if they do not want CWCID feature, or do not have

phones that are capable of displaying CWCID.

Bool

RW

false

MWIEnable

Enable MWI Signal (stutter dial tone) generation. If enabled, any SP voice service enabled on the device that has MWI Service enabled will trigger the generation of stutter dial tone if there are new voicemails for the subscriber on the

service provider’s voicemail system.

Bool

RW

true

VMWIEnable

Enable VMWI Signal generation. If enabled, any SP voice service enabled on the device that has VMWI Service enabled will trigger the generation of VMWI signal if there are new voicemails for the subscriber on the service provider’s

voicemail system.

Bool

RW

true

CallTransferEnable

Enable Call Transfer. Call Transfer, if enabled, is initiated by the user by hanging up the phone in one of the following scenarios:

One call on hold while a 2nd outgoing call ringing

One call on hold while a 2nd outgoing call connected

One call connected while a 2nd outgoing call ringing

3-way conference with both calls connected

If Call Transfer is disabled, hanging up the phone in the above scenarios simply ends all the calls, except for the one that is

holding, which will remain on hold (cases 1 and 2).

Bool

RW

true

ConferenceCallEnable

Enable 3-way Conference Call w/ local audio mixing.

Conference Call, if enabled, is initiated by the user by hook

Bool

RW

true

 


flashing the phone in one of the following scenarios:

One call on hold while a 2nd outgoing call ringing

One call on hold while a 2nd outgoing call connected We refer to case (1) as an early conference, where the second conferee is still ringing; the other 2 parties may

converse while hearing ringback tone in the background until the 3 party answers. In either case, the user can end the call with the second conferee by hook flashing another time and the call reverts to a 2-way call.


If Conference Call service is disabled, then hook flashing the phone resumes the holding call but ends the second outgoing call in scenario (1), and swaps between the two calls in scenario (2) (as in a call waiting situation)




UseExternalConferenceBrid

ge

Use external conference bridge when starting a conference

call

Bool

RW

false

StartConfOnPeerRing

Allow the start of a 3-way conference call when the 3rd party

is still ringing

Bool

RW

true

CallWaitingEnable

Enable call waiting service. Call Waiting is the situation where a new incoming call is routed to the PHONE port when there is already another call connected. If this service is enabled, OBi plays call-waiting tone to alert the user, as well as generates CWCID signal if CWCID is enabled. The user may then swap between the two calls by hook flashing. If the service is disabled, OBi rejects the incoming call as busy.


Note: It is possible for the user to set this parameter from the phone using a Star Code

HookFlashTimeMax

Hook Flash is a quick transition of the phone’s hook switch from Off-Hook state to On-Hook state, and back to Off-Hook state.

This parameter specifies the upper time limit in milliseconds such that if the hook switch stays at the intermediate On- Hook state for longer than this time limit, the OBi device will not recognize the state transition as a HOOK FLASH event, but instead as an ON HOOK event followed by an OFF HOOK

event

UINT

RW

900

HookFlashTimeMin

Hook Flash is a quick transition of the phone’s hook switch from Off-Hook state to On-Hook state, and back to Off-Hook state.

This parameter specifies the lower time limit in milliseconds such that if the hook switch stays at the intermediate On- Hook state for less than this time limit, the OBi device will not recognize the state transition as a HOOK FLASH event, but consider the hook switch remains at Off-Hook state throughout the transition (in other words, the transition is

discarded as a glitch if it happens too quickly)

Audio Line In                                                                                                               


OBi500 has an Audio Line In port which you can connect to an external audio source with a 3.5mm stereo jack. It takes a stereo source and converts it into a mono signal internally and sampled at 8 kHz. This audio source can be used as for MOH. This port is referenced with the short name AI (case-insensitive) in the configuration. To use it for MOH when a phone user places the call on hold, you can specify the phone port parameter MOHServiceNumber = ai(0). AI can answer up to 4 calls simultaneously.

In general, you can route a call to ring ai(0) to let the caller listen to the audio coming from the Audio Line In port.

Audio Line Out                                                                                                            


OBi500 has an Audio Line Out port which you can connect to an external PA system for paging with a 3.5mm stereo jack. The same audio signal is played on the both left and right channels, sampled at 8 kHz. The audio port is referred to with the short name AO (case insensitive) in the configuration. By default, a phone user can dial #0 to page out of the AO port, with the following rule in the outbound call route: {#0:ao}. A similar routing rule may be added elsewhere in the configuration to route a call to send audio out at the AO port. The AO port can only take one call at a time. The OBi also plays a short beep prior to playing caller’s voice at the AO port for every call.

Note that Audio Line In source is also looped back to the Audio Out port in the analog domain (and therefore does not subject to quality loss due to ADC/DAC). When paging starts, the OBi automatically lower the level of the analog Audio Line In signal in favor of the caller’s audio signal. When paging ends, the OBi gradually raises the level of the analog Audio Line In signal to full volume.

Codec Profile Features of the OBi Device                                                                


There are two Codec Profiles available on OBi devices. They are selectable Per Trunk (SPn, OBiTALK, n = 1 – 9). To select a codec as the preferred codec in this profile, set the priority of that codec to be highest among all the enabled codecs in this profile. Each of the SP and OBiTALK services can be assigned a codec profile in its corresponding configuration. The codec list to use when setting up a call on the underlying service is formed from the list of enabled codecs in the chosen profile  and ordered according to the assigned priorities in the profile.

Tone Profile Features of the OBi Device

The general format for tone profiles follows the following format: [field-1];[field-2];[field-3];...;[field - 6] Use ";" to separate the configuration fields.

Note that no spaces are allowed to be used in a tone profile pattern.



Field–1 Composition:

This field describes frequency components used for tone synthesis and it supports up to three different frequencies. The frequency expression is a string of numeric values with the notation '+' or '-'.

The numeric values are the frequency's decimal values in Hz and amplitude in dBm (Maximum 3 dBm). Different frequencies are separated by ',' .


Example: 350-18,440-18,550+2

The above example illustrates the 1st frequency at 350 Hz with strength at -18 dBm, the 2nd frequency: 440 Hz with strength at -18 dBm and the 3rd frequency: 550 Hz with strength at +2 dBm.



Field–2 Composition:

This field describes the overall tone playback duration in seconds.

The expression is a numeric value, and supports up to 3 decimated digits. The numeric value can negative, zero, positive, or skipped:

  • Negative value: tone plays indefinitely
  • Zero value: tone playback is skipped
  • Positive value: Normal playback duration
  • No value: tone plays indefinitely



Example: 30.234

Meaning: tone playback terminates after 30.234 seconds



Field–3 to Field–6 Composition:

Field - 3/4/5/6 share the same definition, and each field describes one single cadence segment. Together 4 fields form a macro-segment, which will be repeated until tone playback expires.

The expression is a string of numeric values with the special notation '/', '(', ')' and ','. It has a complete format as below:

 

t(f_0/on_0+off_0,f_1/on_1+off_1,f_2/on_2+off_2,f_3/on_3+off_3)



t: the cadence segment duration in seconds

  • Negative value: tone plays indefinitely
  • No value: tone plays indefinitely
  • Zero value: the duration of this particular segment is zero
  • Positive value: Normal playback duration



f_0/1/2/3: a numerical describe which frequency component(s) are used for the synthesis, and it can be one of following 8 options (0 ~ 7)

  • 0: No frequency specified, i.e., silent tone
  • 1: The 1st frequency
  • 2: The 2nd frequency
  • 3: The 1st and 2nd frequencies
  • 4: The 3rd frequency
  • 5: The 1st and 3rd frequencies
  • 6: The 2nd and 3rd frequencies
  • 7: The 1st and 2nd frequencies if two or more than two frequency components, or the 1st frequency if only one frequency component is available.



If no value is provided for f_0/1/2/3, it will automatically use the combination of the first one or two available frequency components.

on_0/1/2/3: the tone active time in seconds

  • Negative value: Not allowed
  • No value: infinite tone active time
  • Others: normal tone active time (up to 3 decimated digits)

off_0/1/2/3: the tone inactive time in seconds

  • Negative value: Not allowed
  • No value: infinite tone inactive time
  • Others: normal tone inactive time (up to 3 decimated digits)



Example: 4(1/.3+2.34,3/2+1.5)

The above example illustrates using the first frequency to generate tone for 0.3 seconds, followed by 2.34 seconds of silence, then use a combination of the first and second frequencies to generate tone for 2 seconds, then followed by 1.5 seconds silence. The cadence operates repeatedly for 4 seconds.



Tone Examples:

With these examples, we will show the interpretation of a few common tone patterns:

 

Dial Tone:

DIAL,      "350-18,440-18"

Dial tone is generated as a mixture of two frequency components:

350 Hz at -18 dBm and 440 Hz at -18 dBm

The expiration time is infinite, and tone active time is infinite.



Busy Tone:

BUSY,       "480-18,620-18;10;(.5+.5)"

Busy tone is generated as a mixture of two frequency components:

480 Hz at -18 dBm and 620 Hz at -18 dBm

The expiration time is exactly 10 seconds. It has only one cadence segment, which has tone active 0.5 second and tone inactive 0.5 second.



Prompt Tone:

PROMPT,      "480-16;10"

Prompt tone is generated from a single frequency component:

480 Hz at -16 dBm. The expiration time is exactly 10 seconds. It has only one cadence segment, which has tone infinite active time.



SIT Tone:

SIT_1,    "985-16,1428-16,1777-16;20;(1/.380+0,2/.380+0,4/.380+0,0/0+4)"

Special information tone (SIT) is generated from a set of frequency components:

  • 1st frequency: 985 Hz at -16 dBm
  • 2nd frequency: 1428 Hz at -16 dBm
  • 3rd frequency: 1777 Hz at -16 dBm

The expiration time is exactly 20 seconds. It has only one cadence segment, which includes 4 on-off sections. The segment has infinite repeating time:

  • The 1st on-off section: generated by the 1st frequency component, and it has 0.38 tone second active time and 0 inactive time.
  • The 2nd on-off section: generated by the 2nd frequency component, and it has 0.38 tone second active time and 0 inactive time.
  • The 3rd on-off section: generated by the 3rd frequency component, and it has 0.38 tone second active time and 0 inactive time.
  • The 4th on-off section: only generate silence since no frequency component is specified. It has tone 0 second active time and 4 seconds inactive time.
 

Stutter Tone:

STUTTER, "350-18,440-18;10;.6(.1+.1);(/)"

Stutter dial tone is generated from a mixture of two frequency components:

350 Hz at -18 dBm and 440 Hz at -18 dBm. The expiration time is exact 10 seconds. It has two cadence segments.

  • The first segment: includes only one on-off sections, on 0.1 second and off 0.1 second, and on-off repeats for 0.6 second.
  • The second segment: include one on-off section, and has infinite repeating time and infinite tone active time.

Ring Pattern                                                                                                                 


The general format of an OBi Ring Profile is as follows: [field-1];[field-2];...;[field - 5] Use the ";" to separate up to five (5) configuration fields.

Please note that no spaces are allowed to be used in a tone profile pattern.



Field–1 Composition:

Field-1 describes the overall ringing duration in seconds.

The expression is a numeric value, and supports up to 3 decimated digits. The numeric value can negative, zero, and positive:

  • Negative value: Ringing lasts indefinitely
  • No value: Ringing lasts infinitely
  • Zero value: Ringing is skipped
  • Positive value: Normal ringing duration



Example: 30.5

The above example illustrates a ringing tone that terminates after 30.5 seconds.



Field –2 to Field –5 Composition:

Field - 2/3/4/5 share the same definition, and each field describes one single cadence segment. Together, the four (4) fields form a macro-segment, which will be repeated until ringing expires.

The expression is a string of numeric values with the special notation '(' , ')' and ','

It has the format as per the following construct: t(on_0+off_0,on_1+off_1,on_2+off_2,on_3+off_3)



t: The cadence segment duration in seconds.

  • Negative value: Ringing indefinitely
  • No value: Ringing indefinitely
  • Zero value: Ringing is skipped
  • Positive value: Normal ringing duration

Star Code Profile Features of the OBi Device                                                          


Star codes are short sequences of digits where each sequence serves as a command to the OBi Device to perform certain operation. Each sequence usually starts with the * key followed by a 2-digit code (such as *69), hence the term star code. A typical operation to carry out is to set the value of one or more configuration parameters. At present the OBi device allows user to issue star code from the PHONE port only; user issues a star code the same way he dials a number to make a call. In OBi every star code and its operation are defined with a short Star Code Script parameter. The set of star codes that can be dialed from the PHONE port is collectively referred to as a Star Code Profile.

OBi5xx has nine (9) star code profiles available in its configuration, known as Start Code Profile A, B, …, H respectively. Each profile has 30 star code script parameters, known as Code1 to Code30. You can select which star code profile to use by setting PHONE  Port::StarCodeProfile to A, B, … or H, or None if star code is not to be used. Hence each phone port may use a different Star Code Profile.

A star code script is defined with the help of a number of predefined variables and actions. Each variable represents one or one group of configuration parameters. An action can be checking or setting the value of a variable, collecting a phone number from the user, or calling a certain number.

Star Code Script Variables (VAR)

A star code script variable or VAR can be trunk specific or global (non-trunk specific). The general format of a global variable is $var. The general format of a trunk specific variable is TK($var) , where TK is the abbreviated name of a trunk (SP1, SP2, LI1, or PP1). If TK is not specified for a trunk-specific variable, it implies all the applicable trunks in the system.

Note that: SP1 is the SP1 Service, SP2 the SP2 Service, LI1 the LINE port, and PP1 the OBiTALK Service. Each service is also referred to as a “trunk” in this document.

Here is a list of the supported $var:

$CFA = call forward unconditional enable (trunk specific; admissible value: 0 for disable, 1 for enable)

$CFB = call forward busy enable (trunk specific; admissible value: 0 for disable, 1 for enable)

$CFN = call forward no-answer enable (trunk specific; admissible value: 0 for disable, 1 for enable)

$CFAN = call forward unconditional number (trunk specific; admissible value: a token representing a call forward number)

$CFBN = call forward busy number (trunk specific; admissible value: a token representing a call forward number)

$CFNN = call forward no-answer number (trunk specific; admissible value: a token representing a call forward number)

$MWS = message waiting state (trunk specific; admissible value: 0 for no new messages, 1 for one or more new messages)

$DND = do-not-disturb enable (trunk specific; admissible value: 0 for disable, 1 for enable)

$BAC = block-anonymous caller enable (trunk specific; admissible value: 0 for disable, 1 for enable)

$BCI = block outbound caller-ID enable (trunk specific; admissible value: 0 for disable, 1 for enable)

$CWA = call-waiting enable (global; admissible value: 0 for disable, 1 for enable)

$BCI1 = block caller-ID once (global; admissible value: 1 for enable)

$UBCI1 = unblock caller-ID once (global; admissible value: 1 for enable)

$LBM1 = Loopback media (audio samples) once in the next call

$LBP1 = Loopback RTP packets once in the next call

 

$CDM1 = Codecs to enable in the next call (temporarily overriding any codec preferences in device configuration). Each bit of its value represents one audio codec:

  • Bit0 (LSB) = G711u
  • Bit1 = G711a

-       Bit2 = G726r16

-       Bit3 = G726r24

-       Bit4 = G726r32

-       Bit5 = G726r40

-       Bit6 = G729

$LDN = last dialed number (for redial) (global; read only)

$BAR1 = Enable Barge-In 1 on the next call (global; admissible value: 1 for enable)

$Bxrn = Blind Transfer Target Number (global; admissible value: a token representing the target number)

$LCR = last caller’s number (for call return) (global; read only)

$SPD[n] = number for the speed dial n (n = 1 – 99) (global; admissible value: literal or token representing a phone number)

$CODE = the digit(s) representing the variable part of a star code (see examples below; read only) Variable names are CASE INSENSITIVE.

Star Code Script Actions (ACT)

The general format of an action: ACT(par, par, ….) The following actions are supported:

  • set(VAR,token) = Set the given VAR to the value represented by token.
  • call(token) = Call the number represented by token.

o     PHONE  Port::OutboundCallRoute will be applied when making the call (but not the DigitMap)

  • rpdi(token) = repeat dial the number represented by token
  • coll(VAR) = collect a number from the user and store it as the value of the parameter(s) represented by VAR.

o     The number is collected with PHONE  Port::DigitMap applied

  • say(token) = announce the value represented by token

o      Values are announced as a list of alphabets or numbers

where token can be a literal (such as 1234) or another variable (such as $CFAN or SP1($CFBN))

  • btdscvr(n) = Enable OBiBT discovery for 2 minutes

o      n = 0 or 1 for OBiBLueTooth 1 and OBiBlueTooth 2 respectively


Action names are CASE INSENSITIVE.

Star Code Script Format

General Format: code, name, action1, action2, action3, …

  • code = the star code, such as *72. It may contain a variable part enclosed in parenthesis, such as *74(x|xx)

o      The variable part as entered by the user are stored in the variable $CODE

  • name = a descriptive name of the function of this star code, such as Call Forward Unconditional
  • action1, action2, … = a valid action with parameters
 

Actions are carried out one-by-one in the order as specified in the script. Restrictions:

  • At most 1 coll action per code.
  • Either 1 say or 1 call action at most per code, and it must be the last action in the script.



Star Code Script Examples

The following examples are taken from some of the default star code scripts in the OBi device.



*69, Call Return, call($LCR)

  • Calls the number of the caller who rings the PHONE port last time



*07, Redial, call($Ldn)

  • Redials the last dialed number



*72, Call Forward Unconditional, coll($cfan),set($cfa,1)

  • Collects a number from the user according to the DigitMap. Then set the CallForwardUnconditionalNumber on all trunks to the collected value, and set the CallForwardUnconditionalEnable on all trunks to Yes
  • To modify the script to enable CallForwardUnconditional on SP1 only, change it to

*72, Call Forward Unconditional SP1, coll(SP1($cfan)),set(SP1($cfa),1)



*67, Block Caller ID Once, set($BCI1,1)

  • Enable masking of caller ID information once for the next call on any trunk



*74(x|xx), Set Speed Dial, coll($Spd[$code])

  • After user dials *74, OBi expects one or two more digits from the user which represent a speed dial slot index (1 to 99). The 1 or 2-digit variable part is stored in the variable $code.
  • OBi device then plays a prompt tone and proceeds to collect a number from the user according to the DigitMap. Finally OBi stores the collected number in the given speed dial slot. If the slot already has a number specified, it will be overwritten quietly with the new value.



*75(x|xx), Check Speed Dial, say($Spd[$code])

  • After user dials *75, OBi expects one or two more digits from the user which represent a speed dial slot index (1 to 99). The 1 or 2-digit variable part is stored in the variable $code.
  • OBi device then announces the number stores in the speed dial slot, or says “not available” if the slot is empty.

User Settings Features of the OBi Device                                                                


Speed Dial Numbers

Each OBi device supports 99 speed dial numbers. The 99 speed dial slots are numbered from 1 to 99 and are invoked by dialing a 1 or 2-digit number corresponding to the slot number. Speed dials may be dialed from the PHONE port or via the Auto Attendant. Note that the 2-digit numbers “01”, “02”, …, “09” are not admissible; you must dial the 1-digit number “1”, “2”, …, “9” for slot number 1-9.

Speed dial value can be set using the configuration web page, remote provisioning, or star code (see the  Star Code Section  in this document for more details). The value may be a number just like the one you normally dial, with or without any service access code prefix, such as: **9200112233, **214089991123, 4280913, etc. It may also include explicit trunk information with the general format TK(number), where TK= SPn (n=1 – 8), BT1, BT2, or PP. For example, PP(ob200112233), SP2(14089991123), BT2(4280913), etc.

If trunk information is not specified in the speed dial entry, OBi device applies DigitMap and OutboundCallRoute when making the call. Otherwise neither DigitMap nor OutboundCallRoute is applied.



Using Speed Dial Number as Ad Hoc Gateway

If an external gateway does not require authentication, its access number can be stored in one of the 99 speed dial slots to allow ad hoc direct dialled gateway calls. To do this, the user dials the gateway’s speed dial, followed by a *, followed by the target number. That is <gateway-speeddial>  * <target-number>. For example, the gateway access number   pp(ob200333456) is stored at speed dial 8, and the user can dial 8*14085551234 to call 14085551234 using the given gateway.

Note: At the present time, only gateways that are accessed with an OBi number can be used this way.

Trunks, Endpoints, and Terminals

An OBi device is a Voice Service Bridge (VSB) that supports multiple voice services. It can bridge calls across any of the supported services. By a call bridge we refer to a voice connection connecting two calls on the same or different voice services. The OBi500 allows 8 concurrent independent call bridges. The following matrix shows the possible call bridge connections.

Each supported service is also referred to as a trunk (a traditional telco term for a physical wire or wires that deliver phone services to homes or businesses). Each trunk is represented with 2-letter abbreviation and a 1-based instance identifier:

  • SP1 = the SP1 Voice Service (with ITSP A, B, C, or D)
  • SP2 = the SP2 Voice Service (with ITSP A, B, C, or D)
  • SP3 = the SP3 Voice Service (with ITSP A, B, C, or D)
  • SP4 = the SP4 Voice Service (with ITSP A, B, C, or D)
  • SP5 = the SP5 Voice Service (with ITSP A, B, C, or D)
  • SP6 = the SP6 Voice Service (with ITSP A, B, C, or D)
  • SP7 = the SP7 Voice Service (with ITSP A, B, C, or D)
  • SP8 = the SP8 Voice Service (with ITSP A, B, C, or D)
  • PP1 = the OBiTALK Service
  • BT1 = the OBiBlueTooth 1 Service (with OBiBT dongle connected to USB Port 1)
  • BT2 = the OBiBlueTooth 2 Service (with OBiBT dongle connected to USB Port 2)

The instance identifier may be omitted if it is equal to 1; hence BT is equivalent BT1, PP is equivalent to PP1, etc. These short-hand notations are used heavily in configuring the OBi device, as found in call routes, call forward numbers, and speed dials parameters. Unless stated otherwise, the abbreviated trunk names are case insensitive.

The PHONE ports, AA, AO, AI, and PK are the entities in an OBi500 device that calls can terminate (i.e., starts or ends there), as opposed to the trunks, which rely on the corresponding service providers to terminate the call. In this document we refer  to the PHONE ports, AA, AO, AI, and PK as endpoints. Like the trunks, each endpoint is represented by a 2-letter abbreviation and a 1-based instance identifier:

 
  • PHn = The PHONE n Port (n = 1, 2, …, 8)
  • AA = The Auto Attendant
  • AI = The Audio (Line) In Port
  • AO = The Audio (Line) Out Port
  • PK = The Call Park

Unless stated otherwise, abbreviated endpoint names are case insensitive. A trunk or an endpoint is also referred to as a

Terminal in this document.

Call Routing – The OBi Way

Call Routing is the process by which the OBi Device sets up a call bridge or a (endpoint) call based on such information as: the trunk on which the call originates, the caller’s number, the called number, etc. Call Routing Rules are parameters used   to instruct the OBi device how to route calls. A call may transform into a call bridge or an endpoint call after being routed by the OBi according to the given routing rules.

Every call has to be originated from somewhere. From the device’s perspective, calls originated from the trunk side are considered Inbound Calls, while calls originated from an endpoint Outbound Calls. The call routing rule syntaxes for inbound calls and outbound calls are slightly different and we shall explain them separately below. Call Routing Rule configuration relies heaving on digit maps. If you are not familiar with how digit map works yet, please read the Digit Map Configuration Section in this document first.

 

Inbound Call Route Configuration                                                                           


Every trunk has a corresponding InboundCallRoute in the OBi device configuration. It is a comma separated list of rules where each rule is also surrounded by a pair of curly braces { }. No extra white spaces are allowed. These rules tell the OBi how to handle an inbound call, such as sending it to the PHONE port (and ringing the attached phone(s)), sending it to the Auto Attendant for further routing (interactively with the caller), or making another call on a specific trunk to bridge with this call.



The general format is:

InboundCallRoute := rule OR {rule},{rule},….

Note that the curly braces may be omitted if there is only one rule in the route. The OR operator is NOT part of the parameter syntax; it is used here to separate alternative values only.



A rule has the following format:

rule := peering-list : terminal-list where

peering-list := peering,peering,…                       (comma separated list of 0 or more peering object) terminal-list := terminal,terminal,….                (comma separated list of 0 or more terminal object) peering := caller-list > callee-list

caller-list := caller|caller|caller|…                         (vertical bar separated list of 0 or more caller object)

callee-list := callee|callee|callee| …                      (vertical bar separated list of 0 or more callee object)

caller := number OR embedded-digit-map OR ? OR @                  (?=anonymous, @=any number but anonymous) callee := number OR embedded-digit-map OR @

terminal := PHx OR AAx OR LIx(arg) OR SPx(arg) OR PPx(arg)                    (arg object is optional) arg := cid > target

x := 1 OR 2 OR 3…                                                 (where applicable; can be omitted if it is equal to 1) cid := spoofed-caller-number OR $1

target := number-to-call OR $2

embedded-digit-map := (Mlabel) OR digit-map



Notes:

  • Terminal-list can be empty, which means to block this call. The preceding ‘:’ cannot be omitted. Up to 4 terminals may be specified in the list. The listed terminals will be called/rung by OBi simultaneously; we refer to this operation as forking the call. A terminal may be a trunk or an endpoint.
  • Abbreviated terminal names are case-insensitive
 
  • number and number-to-call are literal strings, such as 14089991234
  • digit-map is just any proper digit map, such as (1xxx|xx.); make sure to include the enclosing parentheses
  • spoofed-caller-number is a literal string, such as 14081112233, to be used as the caller number for making a new call on the specified trunk
  • (Mlabel) is a named digit map, where label is the abbreviated name of any terminal that has a digit map defined: SP1–SP8, BT1, BT2, PP, PH1–PH8
  • $1 is an internal variable containing the value of the caller number of this inbound call, after any digit map transformation in the matched caller object of the matched peering object in the peering-list.
  • $2 is an internal variable containing the called number of this inbound call, after any digit map transformation in the matched callee object of the matched peering object in the peering-list.



More notes on peering-list and peering objects:

  • Peering-list is optional in InboundCallRoute. If peering-list is empty, the succeeding ‘:’ can be omitted also. An empty peering-list implies a single peering object whose caller object list matches any caller number. That is, the InboundCallRoutes listed below are all equivalent
  • ph
  • {ph}
  • {:ph}

o      {?|@>@:ph}

  • Callee-list in a peering object can be empty. It implies the callee object @, meaning any called number. The preceding ‘>’ can be omitted if callee-list is empty.
  • Caller-list in a peering object can be empty. It implies the caller-list @|?, meaning any caller number including anonymous. The succeeding ‘>’ cannot be omitted if caller-list is empty but not the callee-list

More notes on the arg, cid, and target objects:

  • The cid object inside an arg object is optional. If omitted, it implies no caller-ID spoofing when making the call on the specified trunk. The succeeding ‘>’ can be omitted is cid is omitted
  • The target object inside an arg object is optional. If omitted, it implies the target $2, which means to call the  original called number after applying any necessary digit map transformation implied by the rule. The preceding ‘>’ cannot be omitted if target is omitted but cid is not
  • arg object is optional. If omitted, it implies the arg with the target $2 and no cid. If arg is omitted, the succeeding parentheses ( ) can be omitted also.



An inbound call matches a rule if its caller-number/callee-number matches one of the peering objects of the rule. Peering objects are tested in the order left and right, and the first matched peering object will win. Rules are also checked in the  order left to right, and the first matched rule will win. Therefore it is important that you place the more specific rules first in the InboundCallRoute if multiple rules can potentially match the same inbound call.



InboundCallRoute Examples:

1)   ph OR {ph} OR {:ph} OR {@|?>@:ph}               (all equivalent)

It says: Ring the PHONE port for all incoming calls. This is the default InboundCallRoute for all trunks.



2)   {14081223330|15103313456:ph,aa},{(1800xx.|1888xx.)|?:},{ph}

 

It says: Ring both PHONE port and AA for calls coming from 1 408 122 3330 or 1 510 331 3456, block all 800, 888, and anonymous calls, and ring the PHONE port for all other calls



3)   {(x.4081113333|x.4152224444):aa},{ph}

It says: Ring the AA for calls coming from any number that ends with 408 111 3333 or 415 222 4444, and ring the PHONE port for all other calls. Be sure to include the enclosing parentheses in this example since “x.” is a digit map specific syntax.



4) {200123456:aa},{sp1(14083335678)}

It says: Ring the AA for calls coming from 200123456. For all any other call, bridge it by calling 1 408 333 5678 using SP1 Service

 

Outbound Call Route Configuration                                                                        


Every endpoint has an OutboundCallRoute parameter in the OBi device configuration. It tells the device where to send the call when the endpoint attempts to make a call. Endpoints may call each other or an outside number using one of the   trunks. The OutboundCallRoute syntaxes are almost identical to those of the InboundCallRoute; the differences are mainly in the implied value when an optional field is omitted, no caller objects and one and only one terminal object per terminal- list in an OutboundCallRoute. Forking is not supported when routing outbound calls.



The general format is:

OutboundCallRoute := rule OR {rule},{rule},….

Note that the curly braces may be omitted if there is only one rule in the route. The OR operator is NOT part of the parameter syntax; it is used here to separate alternative values only.



A rule has the following format:

rule := callee-list : terminal where

callee-list := callee|callee|callee| …                                      (vertical bar separated list of 0 or more callee object)

callee := number OR embedded-digit-map OR @          (@ = any number)

terminal := PHx OR AAx OR LIx(arg) OR SPx(arg) OR PPx(arg)                    (arg object is optional) arg := cid > target

x := 1 OR 2 OR 3…                                                                 (where applicable; can be omitted if it is equal to 1) cid = spoofed-caller-number

target = number-to-call OR $2

embedded-digit-map = (Mlabel) OR digit-map

 

Notes:

  • A terminal may be a trunk or another endpoint.
  • Abbreviated terminal names are case-insensitive
  • number and number-to-call are literal strings, such as 14089991234
  • digit-map is just any proper digit map, such as (1xxx|xx.); make sure to include the enclosing parentheses
  • spoofed-caller-number is a literal string, such as 14081112233, to be used as the caller number for making a new call on the specified trunk
  • (Mlabel) is a named digit map where label is the abbreviated name of any terminal that has a digit map defined: SP1–SP8, BT1, BT2, PP, PH1-PH8, or AA
  • $2 is an internal variable containing the called number of this outbound call, after any digit map transformation in the matched callee object
  • Callee-list can be empty, which implies the single callee object @, which means any called number. The succeeding ‘:’ can be omitted also when callee-list is empty



More notes on the arg, cid, and target objects:

  • The cid object inside an arg object is optional. If omitted, it implies no caller-ID spoofing when making the call on the specified trunk. The succeeding ‘>’ can be omitted if cid is omitted.
  • The target object inside an arg object is optional. If omitted, it implies the target $2, which means to call the  original called number after applying any necessary digit map transformation implied by the rule. The preceding ‘>’ cannot be omitted if target is omitted but not the cid.
  • arg object is optional. If omitted, it implies the arg with the target $2 and no cid



An outbound call matches a rule if it’s called number matches one of the callee objects of the rule. Callee objects are tested  in the order left and right, and the first matched callee will win. Rules are also checked in the order left to right, and the first matched rule will win. Therefore it is important that you place the more specific rules first in the OutboundCallRoute if multiple rules can potentially match the same outbound call.



Note that every endpoint also has a digit map defined. The user dialed number is completely processed with the endpoint’s digit map first before it is passed to the OutboundCallRoute for routing decision. Therefore the number used for matching call routing rules has already incurred the transformations, if any, implied by the digit map. Remember this fact when crafting your own OutboundCallRoute.



OutboundCallRoute Examples:



1) sp1 OR {SP1} OR {:SP1} OR {@:Sp1}                   (all equivalent)

This rule says: Make all calls using SP1 Service, without any caller-id spoofing or digit transformation



2)

{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(Mpli):pli},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>( Mpp)):pp}

This is the default OutboundCallRoute for the PHONE port. It says:

 
  • Dial # key to connect to the LINE port; OBi will take the LINE port hardware to off-hook but will not dial out any digit. The net result is that the user will hear dial tone generated by the PSTN company if a working line is connected to the LINE port. The user may then continue to dial the PSTN number directly to the phone company. Note that from the OBi’s point of view, the PSTN call is connected the moment it takes the LINE port to the off- hook state!
  • Use the PSTN Line to call 911
  • Dial **0 to invoke AA1 or AA
  • Dial *** to invoke the local device configuration IVR (a.k.a. AA2)
  • (Mpli) and pli will be substituted with the PrimaryLine’s abbreviated name
  • Use SP1 Service to call all numbers that start with **1 and subsequent digits matching SP1 Service’s DigitMap.

Remove the **1 prefix from the resulting number before making the call

  • Use SP2 Service to call all numbers that start with **2 and subsequent digits matching SP2 Service’s DigitMap.

Remove the **2 prefix from the resulting number before making the call

  • Use the LINE port to call all numbers that start with **8 and subsequent digits matching LINE port’s DigitMap.

Remove the **8 prefix from the resulting number before making the call

  • Use the OBiTALK Service to call all numbers that start with **9 and subsequent digits matching OBiTALK Service’s DigitMap. Remove the **9 prefix from the resulting number before making the call

Digit Map Rules and Elements

A digit map serves to transform and restrict the number that may be dialed or called, and determine if sufficient digits have been dialed by the user to form a complete number. Each map is composed of one more rules surrounded by parentheses (which MUST NOT be omitted). Here is the general format of a digit map:

(rule|rule|….|rule)



A digit map rule is a rule for matching a given sequence of digits. It may contain extra white spaces for readability; all spaces are removed by the OBi device during parsing. A rule may contain one or more of the following elements:

  • literals - Any combination of 0-9,*,#,+,-,A-Z,a-z, except m, M, s, S, x, X which have special meaning in the digit map syntax. It matches digit sequences with exactly the same literals
  • ‘literals’ - Everything inside a pair of single quotes is treated as a literal except for the single quote (‘) character.
  • x - a wild card digit that matches any digit from 0-9. x is CASE SENSITIVE
  • x. - matches 0 or more x
  • [123-7] or [135] - A set of 1 or more digits surrounded by pair of [ ]. It matches any digit in the set. The – syntax represents an inclusive digit range, such as 0–9, 3–7. So [123–7] is equivalent to [1–7] or [1234567]
  • S, S0, S1, S2, …S9 - Digit timer of 0, 1, 2, …,9 seconds respectively; S is equivalent to S1; S0 is the same as “blank”.

You can concatenate multiple S elements together if you need more than 9s timeout, such as S9S5 for a 14s timeout. S is CASE SENSITIVE. It should only be used either as the first element of a rule for hot/warm line implementation, or as the last element of a rule as a means of overriding the default interdigit timer

  • <elements:literals> - Substitute the digit sequence matching elements with the given literals. Single quote syntax is NOT needed or allowed for the literals in this context; special characters may be used here as they do not apply in this context either. Elements can be empty, in which case the ‘:’ may be omitted. This case is useful for inserting some extra digits in certain part of the dialed digits. The literals part can be empty also but the ‘:’ MUST NOT be omitted. This case is useful for removing part of dialed digits. Elements and literals MUST NOT be both empty.
  • (map) – An embedded digit map for matching subsequent digits.
  • (Mlabel) – A named embedded digit map for matching subsequent digits, where label is one of abbreviated terminal names. Possible choices are:
  • (Msp1) for SP1 Service::DigitMap
  • (Msp2) for SP2 Service::DigitMap
  • (Msp3) for SP3Error! Bookmark not defined. Service::DigitMap
  • (Msp4) for SP4Error! Bookmark not defined. Service::DigitMap
  • (Mpp) for OBiTALK Service::DigitMap
  • (Mli) for LINE PortError! Bookmark not defined.::DigitMap
  • (Mph) for PHONE Port::DigitMap
  • (Mph2) for PHONE2 PortError! Bookmark not defined.::DigitMap
  • (Maa) for Auto Attendant::DigitMap
  • (MtgN) for TrunkGroupN::DigitMap, N=1,2,3,4
  • (MvgN) for VoiceGatewayN::DigitMap, N=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8


Starting with release 1.2, the following elements are added:

  • X – A wildcard digit that matches 0–9 or *. This is equivalent to [x*] or [0-9*x]
  • @ – A wildcard character that matches any alphanumeric character except #
 
  • x? – matches 0 or 1 x
  • @? – matches 0 or 1 @
  • [^…] – matches any single alphanumeric character that is not in the set
  • Allow alphanumeric and wildcard inside a set [ ], such as [x], [X#], [@#], [a-zA-Zx]



The last two elements imply that the OBi digit maps are recursive. Recursive digit maps allow digit maps to be reused and make their specification more compact and readable. It is important that you do not specify digit maps that lead to infinite recursion. For example, a digit map must not include a named embedded digit map that references itself.


To bar users from calling numbers that match a rule, add a ‘!’ in front of that rule in the digit map. The rule is then referred to as a barring rule.


Let’s look at some examples.


1408xxxxxxx – Matches any 11-digit number that starts with 1408

011xx. – Matches any number that starts with 011 followed by one or more digits

<1408>xxxxxxx – Matches any 7-digit number. OBi pre-pends 1408 to the number when making the call

<:1408>xxxxxxx – Equivalent to the last example


<+>1xxxxxxxxxx – Pre-pends ‘+’ to any 11-digit number that starts with 1


<**1:>1408xxxxxxx – Matches any number that starts with **11408 followed by 7 digits. OBi removes the **1 prefix when making the call

*74(x|xx) – Matches any number that starts with *74, followed by 1 or 2 digits

**1(Msp1) – Matches any number that starts with **1 and with the rest of digits matching the DigitMap in the SP1 Service

<:1234> – Matches an empty phone number and replaces with 1234. This is the syntax for a hotline to 1234


<S0:1234> – Equivalent to the last example


<:#> – Hotline to the number #


<S0:#> – Equivalent to the last example


<S4:1234> – Call 1234 if no digits entered for 4s. This is the syntax of a warm line.


xx.853 7683 – Matches any number with at least 8 digits and ends with 8537683, such as 15108537683, 98537683


(x.408 223 1122) – Matches any number with at least 10 digits and ends with 408 223 1122, such as 4082231122, 1408 223 1122

  • <#> – Adds a # to the end of any number with 1 or more digits


!1900xxx xxxx – Barring all 11-digit numbers that start with 1900


[^*]@@. – Arbitrarily long alphanumeric sequence (except #) that does not start with *

 

xx? – one or two-digit number


(1xxxxxxxxxxS0|xx.) – Arbitrarily long digit sequence not starting with 1; otherwise it is limited to 11 digits




Matching Against Multiple Rules in Digit Map

One important function of a digit map is to determine if sufficient digits have been entered by the user during dialing. A   digit map normally contains more than one rules. The Digit Map Processor (DMP) must return the best matched rule at  some point, or declare the input digit sequence is invalid. The DMP keeps refining its decision as each digit is entered until it reaches a final decision, or will be forced to make a timely decision when the interdigit timer expires.



The DMP restarts the interdigit timer on every newly entered digit. The duration of this timer can be either long or short. The long and the short timer values are set to 10s and 2s respectively by default and are configurable per phone port via the DigitMapLongTimer and DigitMapShortTimer parameters respectively. Whether to use the long or short interdigit timer depends on the current rule matching states. The DMP maintains a matching state for each rule in the digit map as it processes each input digit. The following states are defined:

  • Partially Matched (PM) – The rule partially matches the accumulated input sequence. Initially all rules are in this state before any digit is entered. Rules in this state have the potential of becoming EM or IM as more digits are entered. Example: 1234 partially matches the rules xxxxxxx, 1xxxx, 1234567, <123:>xxxx.
  • Exactly Matched (EM) – The rule exactly matches the accumulated input sequence. However, any further input digit will turn this rule into the MM state. Example: 1234 exactly matches the rules xxxx, 1234, 1xxx, <123:5678>x
  • Indefinitely Matched (IM) – The rule matches the accumulated input sequence indefinitely, with a variable length such that the rule can potentially stay as IM as more matching digits are entered. Example: 011853 indefinitely matches the rules xx., 011xx., <011:>xx.
  • Mismatch (MM) – The rule does not match the accumulated input sequence. This state will not change as more digits are entered. Example: 1234 mismatches the rules 123, 1xx, 12345



Rules in the EM or IM state are candidates to be selected by the DMP. After processing a new digit, the DMP returns a final decision if any of the following conditions holds:

  • All rules are the MM state. DMP returns an error
  • One or more rules are in the EM state with no rules in the IM state. DMP returns the best matched EM rule. If the best matched rule is a barring rule, DMP returns an error instead

Otherwise, DMP starts the short interdigit timer if there is at least one rule in the EM state, or else the long one. When the interdigit timer expires, DMP makes a timely decision by returning the best matched rule at that moment if one is found, or else a timeout error. Again if the best matched rule in this case is a barring rule, DMP returns an error instead. Note that    the timer to wait for the first input digit is NOT governed by the interdigit timer, but the duration of dial tone being played and could be a lot lengthier than the long interdigit timer.



The best matched rule is the one that has the most specific literals matching the input digit sequence. For example, the input sequence 1234 matches the rule 123x better than 1xxx. On the other hand, an EM rule is always selected over an IM rule.

 

Finally, the default interdigit timer can be overridden by appending the Sn element at the end of the rule (n = 0–9).



Let’s look at some examples. Consider this simple digit map:

(<1408>xxx xxxx)

As soon as 7 digit have been entered, the DMP returns a complete number by pre-pending the accumulated digits with 1408.



Consider another simple map: (xx.)

After user dials one or more digits, the DMP returns the accumulated digits as a complete number when the long interdigit timer expires.



Let’s combine the last two maps:

(xx. | <1408>xxx xxxx)

After user dials 1 or more digits but less than 7 digits, the DMP would return the accumulated digits as a complete number when the (long) interdigit timer expires. As soon as 7 digits are entered, the DMP would return 1408 followed by the accumulated 7-digit when the (short) interdigit expires. On the 8th digit and beyond, however, the DMP will consider the first rule only and return the accumulated digits as is when the (long) interdigit timer expires.



Now add a S4 timer to the 2nd rule:

(xx. | <1408>xxx xxxxS4)

In this case the DMP behaves exactly the same as the last, except that the short interdigit timer the DMP uses upon receiving the 7th digit is overridden by a 4s timer; hence the user will have up to 4s instead of 2 to dial the 8th digit.




Forcing Interdigit Timeout With A Pound(#) Key

When dialing, user may force an interdigit timeout with a # key instead of waiting for the DMP to timeout its own long or short timer. This is allowed as long as the # key does not match the current element of any PM rules. Otherwise the # key will be “swallowed” by the DMP instead of triggering a timeout.

Consider the digit map (33xx.)

If the user enters 333#, the DMP will return immediately with the number 333. Now consider the digit map (33xx.|333#1234x.)

If the user enters 333#, the DMP will not return but continue to wait for further input or its interdigit timer to expire. Note that the first rule “33xx.” is now in the MM state since the digit # does not match “x”. The user may continue to enter 1234#, or 1234 and wait for a long interdigit timeout for the DMP to successfully return 333#1234.

 

Invoke Second Dial Tone in Digit Map

You can tell OBi to start a tone after a certain pattern of digits have been dialed by specifying the element {t=<tone>} within a digit map, where <tone> is a 1 to 3-letter name of the tone to play. The tone will stop when the next digit is entered. For example:

(**1{t=di2}(Msp)|**8{t=od}(Mli))

which tells the device to play Second Dial Tone when **1 is dialed, or play Outside Dial Tone when **8 is dialed. Here is a full list of acceptable (case insensitive) values of <tone>:

bu = Busy Tone

cf = Call Forwarded Dial Tone cm = Confirmation Tone

co = Conference Tone

cw1 – cw10 = Call Waiting Tone 1-10, respectively di = Dial Tone

di2 = Second Dial Tone fb = Fast Busy Tone

ho = Holding Tone

od = Outside Dial Tone pr = Prompt Tone

rb = Ringback Tone

ro = Reorder Tone (same as fast busy) si1 – si4 = SIT TONE 1 – 4, respectively st = Stutter Tone

0 – 9, *, #, a – d = DTMF 0 – 9, *, #, A – D respectively



Change Inter-digit Long Timer Dynamically After Partial Match

The OBi starts off with the inter-digit long timer set to the configured DigitMapLongTimer value when processing a new digit sequence by a digit map. You may change the long timer as some patterns are partially matched by embedding the syntax {L=<time>} within a rule in the digit map, where <time> is the desired number of seconds for the long timer. For example:

(011 853 xxxx xxxx{L=5}x. |xx.)

Here the long timer is shortened to 5s after the user has entered 011 853 + 8 digits. Hence the OBi will declare that a complete number is collected in 5s when no more digits are received. Without the {L=5} syntax the user will have to wait for 10s (by default) for the same to happen.



User Defined Digit Maps

 

There are 10 user definable digit maps available under the User Settings – User Defined Digit Maps section of the device configuration web page. These digit maps are referred to as User Defined Digit Map 1 to 10. Each user defined digit map is specified with 2 parameters:

  • Label: An arbitrary string for referencing this digit map in other digit map specification. The value should be 2-16 characters long. For example, “friends”. In this case, (Mfriends) can be referenced in other digit maps, such as PHONE Port::DigitMap
  • DigitMap

By default both parameters are empty, except for User Defined Digit Map 1 (see the section below).



A User Defined Digit Map For IPv4 Dialing

The default values of the parameters for User Defined Digit Map 1 are set the following values to support IPv4 Dialing:

  • Label: ipd

-       Digit Map: (xx.<*:@>xx?x?<*:.>xx?x?<*:.>xx?x?<*:.>xx?x?|

xx.<*:@>xx?x?<*:.>xx?x?<*:.>xx?x?<*:.>xx?x?<*::>xx?x?x?x?)

The map (Mipd) is referenced in the default setting of the DigitMap in ITSP Profile A and B. It supports the following two forms of IPv4 dialing:

a)    <user-id>*<a>*<b>*<c>*<d>

b) <user-id>*<a>*<b>*<c>*<d>*<port>

where <user-id> is an arbitrary length numeric user-id, such as 100345, <port> is a port number in the range 0–65535, and each of <a>,<b>,<c>,<d> is a 1-3 digit pattern in the range 1–255 that identifies one byte of an IP address. The dialed number will be translated into <user-id>@<a>.<b>.<c>.<d> and <user-id>@<a>.<b>.<c>.<d>:<port> respectively. Here are some examples:

1234*192*168*15*113                    maps to 1234@192.168.15.113

123456*192*168*15*180*5061   maps to 123456@192.168.15.180:5061

 

Hunt Groups                                                                                                               


A Hunt Group is a list of terminal-sets that should be alerted for an incoming call. The terminal-sets are alerted sequentially one-at-a-time. A terminal-set may include one or more terminals that are alerted simultaneously when the terminal-set is alerted. A phone port PHn and SPn(number), n = 1, 2, 3, … are examples of a terminal.

Up to 10 hunt groups can be defined in an OBi5xx device, using the parameters: Hunt Groups::Groupn, for n = 1, 2, … 10. The device can be configured to route certain incoming calls to be handled by one of the hunt groups, using the inbound call route parameters, in a way that is no different from routing incoming calls to ring any one of the phone ports.

In order to hunt sequentially for an answer, each terminal-set should be set to ring for a finite duration say x seconds, such that if none of the terminals answer the call within x seconds, the device moves on to ring the next terminal-set or stops the hunt if there are no more terminal-sets to try. In the case when all the terminals in a set are busy, the device will skip

over the set and moves on immediately. On the other hand, if the intention of the hunt is to find the first terminal-set that is not busy, it is perfectly acceptable to specify in the hunt group configuration to ring each terminal-set indefinitely.

The general format of a hunt group parameter value is (all case-insensitive):

GP(name)={ringlist};group-par;group-par;…

where

  • name = arbitrary string with no spaces for referencing this hunt group. It can be a number such as 1 or a generic string such as sales
  • ringlist is made up of one or more terminal-set separated by a +, with the following general format:
  • ringlist = terminal-set +terminal-set +….

The terminal-sets are alerted sequentially one-at-a-time.

  • group-par is a parameter to control how to alert the members in the ringlist. It has the format:
  • group-parameter-name=value
  • The following group-parameter-names and corresponding values are defined:
  • du: value is the (default) duration in number of seconds to alert the terminal-set in each pass or * to alert each set indefinitely
  • na: value is the terminal or hunt group to alert if the call is not answered by any terminal in the hunt group; this mechanism may be used to daisy-chain hunt groups
  • np: value is the number of passes to cycle through the ringlist. Default is 1
  • A terminal-set is made up of a comma-separated list of terminals that are alerted simultaneously when the

terminal-set is alerted. It has the following general format: terminal-set = terminal,terminal,…;set-par;set-par;…

where

  • set-par is a parameter that controls the terminal-set. It has the format:

set-parameter-name=value

The following set-parameter-names and corresponding values are defined:

 

o      du: value is the duration in number of seconds to alert the terminal-set, or * to alert the set indefinitely. If this parameter is not specified for the set, it takes the value from the group’s du parameter if one is specified. Otherwise the set will ring indefinitely

Tips: You may sprinkle the hunt group parameter value with spaces to make it more readable. Beware that all white spaces will be removed prior to processing these parameter values (including the ones in the hunt group name)



Examples:

Ring ph1,…,ph8 simultaneously


GP(support)={ph1,ph2,ph3,ph4,ph7,ph8}


  • Ring ph1, p2, ph3 sequentially; the first phone port that rings grabs the call. If all phones are busy, ring 14089991234 (via SP1 Service):
GP(1)={ph1+ph2+ph3};na=sp1(14089991234)


  • Ring each of ph1, ph2, and ph3 sequentially for 20s, twice, then forwards the call to 14089991123 if no one answers:
GP(2)={ph1+ph2+ph3};dur=20;np=0;na=sp1(14089991123)


  • Ring ph1,p2,ph3 simultaneously for 30s, then ring ph4 and ph5 simultaneously for 30s, then forward the call to the hunt group named general if no one answers:


GP(sales)={ph1,ph2,ph3+ph4,ph5;du=30+ph6};du=20;na=gp(general)


  • Same as last one but also override the na and du group parameters of the hunt group named general:


GP(sales)={ph1,ph2,ph3+ph4,ph5;du=30+ph6};du=20;na=gp(general;du=10;na=sp1 (14089991234))



Routing Incoming Calls to Hunt Groups

By adding rules to an inbound call route parameter, you can send incoming calls to be handled by a hunt group. For example, add the rules: {>18007771000:gp(sales)},{gp(general)} to SPn Service::X_InboundCallRoute parameter, such that all calls to 18007771000 will be handled by the hunt group named sales, and the other calls by the hunt group named general.

SIP Trunking                                                                                                                 


There are 9 ITSP Profiles and 9 SP Services available in each OBi500 device. Each SP Service can be configured as a SIP Trunk in the following sense:

  • Single REGISTRATION per SP account
  • Multiple DID numbers for incoming calls and outgoing calls
  • Incoming call routing based on called DID numbers, to ring any combinations of phone ports simultaneously or a hunt group
  • Static Call Forwarding according to DID numbers via hunt groups
  • Outgoing caller identity based on the phone port that originates the call
  • Option to insert user=phone for caller identity (for a DID number) in outgoing calls



Configuration of a SIP Trunk on SP1 (ITSP Profile A) on OBi508

In this example, we use SP1 on ITSP Profile A as SIP trunk. Use Case:

  • All 8 phone ports use SP1 for outgoing calls

□     Each phone port has a DID number, +14089991001, +14089991002, … +14089991008, respectively

  • Let mytrunkid be the Pilot UserID of the SIP trunk Configuration:

Parameter

Value

Description

ITSP Profile A–SIP::

X_SpoofCallerID

true

Enable this option to let the device insert a UserID in the FROM header of outbound INVITE that is different from the SIP Account UserID

ITSP Profile A–SIP::

X_UserEqPhone

true

Enable this option to let the device insert a

;user=phone (URI) parameter in the Request-URI and TO header of outbound INVITE (for all calls on SP1). Do not enable this option if the server does not expect to see this URI parameter

SP 1 Service::

AuthUserName

mytrunkid

Configure the SIP Account credentials. If the UserID for authentication is different from the SIP UserID, the SIP UserID must be configured in the URI parameter and authentication UserID in the AuthUserName parameter.

SP1 Service::

AuthPassword

The authentication password corresponds to mytrunkid

SP1 Service::

URI


SP1 Service::

X_InboundCallRo ute

{>(@.4089991001):ph1},

{>(@.4089991002):ph2},…,

{>(@.4089991008):ph8}

Configure incoming calls to a specific DID number

to ring the corresponding phone port only. The @. syntax matches any number of characters before



the last 10 digits of the called number (for



example: + or +1 or +001). Note that you can also



ring any combination of the phone ports for a

 



given called number, or ring a hunt group (GP) defined in the device configuration

Phone 1 Port::

OutboundCallRo ute

{(Mpli):pli(+14089991001;context=abd.

com;;user=phone>$2)}

Calls made from each phone port to assume a different identify based on assigned DID number. This identify is shown as the UserID in the From header (and Remote-Party-ID header if enabled) of the outbound INVITE. The Contact header of the INVITE on the other hand uses the Pilot UserID (the SP Account USERID) as the UserID. $2 represents the target number that the user dials. Note that additional call  routing rules may  be added for other call destinations. Note that UserID  parameters after the first ; in the UserID are included as is as part of the user id, but parameters after the first ;; are inserted as URI parameters.

Phone 2 Port::

OutboundCallRo ute

{(Mpli):pli(+14089991002>$2)}

…

{(Mpli):pli(+1408999100n>$2)}

where n = 1, 2, …, 8

Phone 8 Port:: OutboundCallRo ute

{(Mpli):pli(+14089991008>$2)}

Phone 1 Port::

PrimaryLine

SP1  Service

All phone ports to use SP1 as the primary line (pli).

Phone 2 Port::

PrimaryLine

SP1  Service

…

SP1  Service

Phone 8 Port::

PrimaryLine

SP1  Service


Notes:

  • You can tell the device to insert a user=phone URI parameter in the FROM header of outbound INVITE (and Remote-Party-ID header if enabled) when spoofing the calling UserID with a DID number, by including a

;;user=phone parameter after the spoofed userid in an OutboundCallRoute rule. In fact, everything in the rule’s argument after the first ;; is included as URI parameter(s).



Call Forward Settings Per Phone Port

There is a set of call forward settings per phone port, as shown in the following table:


Parameter Phone Port n –

Call Forwarding::

Description

ForwardAll

Enable forwarding all calls unconditionally. Value must be true or false.

ForwardAllNumber

The number to forward all calls to unconditionally. It may include the Caller-ID number to use as the UserID of the SIP/Diversion header. Examples:

SP1(1000) SP1(+14089991003>1000)

SP1(+14089991003;;user=phone>1000)

SP1(+14089991003;context=test.com;;user=phone>1000)

ForwardOnBusy

Enable forwarding calls when the phone port is busy. Value must be true or false.

ForwardOnBusyNumber

The number to forward calls to when the phone port is busy. See

 


ForwardAllNumber for examples.

ForwardOnNoAnswer

Enable forwarding calls when the call is not answered after a few rings. Value must be true or false.

ForwardOnNoAnswerNumber

The number to forward calls to when the call is not answered after a few rings. See ForwardAllNumber for examples.

ForwardOnNoAnswerRingCount

The number of rings to wait before triggering call forwarding on no answer, where one ring is equivalent to six seconds


Note that call forwarding from a phone port is implemented only by bridging two calls together by the device. That is, the device maintains the call with the original incoming caller (in the ringing state), while making a new call to the call forward target number. When the target rings or answers (whichever happens first), it bridges the two call legs together. The SIP/INVITE to the call forward target will have the original caller’s Caller ID in the FROM header, and the Request-UserID of the original SIP/INVITE in a DIVERSION header. If the original Request-UserID has a user=phone parameter, the DIVERSION header will carry the same URI parameter as well.



DND Setting Per Phone Port

There is a DND (Do Not Disturb) setting per phone port, as shown in the following table:


Parameter Phone Port n –

Calling Features::

Description

DoNotDisturbEnable

Enable Do Not Disturb on a phone port. Value must be true or false.


Using Star Codes to Change Per-Phone-Port Call Forward and DND Settings

Assuming a different StarCodeProfile is used for each phone port, one can define local star codes to enable/disable the call forward settings per phone port, as shown below:

For Phone Port n (n = 1, 2, 3, …, 8) using Star Code Profile x (x = A, B, …. H)

*72,  Cfwd  All,  coll(PHn($Cfan)),  set(PHn($Cfa),1)

*73,  Disable  Cfwd  All,  set(PHn($Cfa),  0)

*60,  Cfwd  Busy,  coll(PHn($Cfbn)),  set(PHn($Cfb),1)

*61,  Disable  Cfwd  Busy,  set(PHn($Cfb),  0)

*62,  Cfwd  No  Ans,  coll(PHn($Cfnn)),  set(PHn($Cfn),1)

*63,  Disable  Cfwd  No  Ans,  set(PHn($Cfn),0)

*78,  Enable  DND,  set(PHn($Dnd),1)

*79,  Disable  DND,  set(PHn($Dnd),0)



It is also possible to use the same star code profile to change the values of call forwarding and DND settings for each phone port, with the generic phone port versions of corresponding star code variables; the phone port whose settings to be   changed in this case is the one that the star code is dialed from:

*72,  Cfwd  All,  coll($PhCfan),  set($PhCfa,1)

 

*73,  Disable  Cfwd  All,  set($PhCfa,  0)

*60,  Cfwd  Busy,  coll($PhCfbn),  set($PhCfb,1)

*61,  Disable  Cfwd  Busy,  set($PhCfb,  0)

*62,  Cfwd  No  Ans,  coll($PhCfnn),  set($PhCfn,1)

*63,  Disable  Cfwd  No  Ans,  set($PhCfn,0)

*78,  Enable  DND,  set($PhDnd,1)

*79,  Disable  DND,  set($PhDnd,0)



MWI Notification Routing

Your OBi device can handle SIP/NOTIFY for MWI status based on the DID number in the Request-UserID of the NOTIFY request. The same processing is used inside or outside the context of a Subscription dialog. You can define routing rules to process the MWI status by any combination of phone ports. There are two settings for this under each SPn Service–Calling Features::X_MWIRoute for basic MWI handling (by playing Stutter Tone) and SPn Service–Calling  Features::X_VMWIRoute for VMWI. Here is an example of a MWI Route:

{(@.4089991001)>ph1},{(@.4089991002)>ph2},…,{(@.4089991008)>ph8},{ph7,ph8}

In the last example, SIP/NOTIFY sent for a particular DID number is handled by a corresponding phone port only, except the last rule which is a catch-all rule for SIP/NOTIFY sent for anything else.

 

Virtual Stacking                                                                                                          


Virtual Stacking is a set of configuration parameters that links a few OBi5xx devices to provide more phone ports in the context of Hunt Groups and SIP Trunking. The linking of the devices can be achieved on the same LAN or across the Internet. OBi5xx supports virtually stacking up to 4 devices to provide 32 phone ports. One of the devices must be designated as the Master Unit (MU), and the other devices are called Expansion Units (EU): EU1 for the first EU, EU2 for the second, and EU3 for the third.

Note that any OBi5xx Unit can be MU or EU. Given 4 OBi500 devices to form a virtual stack, we recommend to use the convention to assign devices as MU and EU based on their OBi numbers, such that the device with the smallest OBi number is the MU, the next smallest EU1, the next smallest EU2, and so on.

There are two applications that virtual stacking is particularly useful:

  • Forming hunt groups than span up to 32 phone ports
  • SIP trunking with up to 32 DID numbers to support corresponding number of analog phone lines

We will discuss the device configuration for these applications in the following sections. With no loss of generality, let’s assume the MU has a SIP trunk installed on SP1. On the MU, you must enable the Boolean parameter Hunt Groups::VirtualStacking.



Case 1: All Units Having Static or Reserved IP Addresses On the Same Subnet

Let the MU, EU1, EU2, and EU3 have static or reserved IP address ipaddr0, ipaddr1, ipadd2, and ipaddr3 respectively, on the same subnet. On the MU, pick any unused SPn Service (n = 2, 3,…) to communicate with the EU. On the EU, pick any unused SPn Service (n = 1, 2, 3, …) to communicate with the MU. We use SP2 on the MU and SP1 on the EU in the current example.

Extending Hunt Groups on the MU to span 32 Phone Ports

On the MU, use the following terminals in the configuration of hunt groups

  • SP2($1>n@ipaddr1), n = 1009-1016 to hunt, respectively, PH1-PH8 ports on EU1
  • SP2($1>n@ipaddr2), n = 1017-1024 to hunt, respectively, PH1-PH8 ports on EU2
  • SP2($1>n@ipaddr3), n = 1025-1032 to hunt, respectively, PH1-PH8 ports on EU3



On EU1, set SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {>1009:ph1},{>1010:ph2},…  {>1016:ph8} On EU2, set SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {>1017:ph1},{>1018:ph2},…  {>1024:ph8} On EU3, set SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {>1025:ph1},{>1026:ph2},…  {>1032:ph8}


Extending SIP Trunking on the MU to support 32 DID Numbers

Let the DID numbers be: +14089991001, +14089991002, … +14089991032, such that that:

+14089991001 – +14089991008 are assigned to PH1-PH8, respectively, on the MU

+14089991009 – +14089991016 are assigned to PH1-PH8, respectively, on the EU1

 

+14089991017 – +14089991024 are assigned to PH1-PH8, respectively, on the EU2

+14089991001 – +14089991008 are assigned to PH1-PH8, respectively, on the EU3.



On EU1:

  • Set SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {>1009:ph1},{>1010:ph2},…  {>1016:ph8}
  • Set Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute ={sp1(m>$2)}  for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1009–1016, respectively

On EU2:

  • Set SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {>1017:ph1},{>1018:ph2},…  {>1024:ph8}
  • Set Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute ={sp1(m>$2)}  for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1017–1024, respectively

On EU3:

  • Set SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {>1025:ph1},{>1026:ph2},…  {>1032:ph8}
  • Set Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute ={sp1(m>$2)}  for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1025–1032, respectively

On the MU:

  • Set ITSP Profile A–SIP::X_SpoofCallerID = true
  • Set SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute =

{>(@.4089991001):ph1},

{>(@.4089991002):ph2},

…,

{>(@.4089991008):ph8},

{>(@.4089991009):sp2($1>1009@ipaddr1)},

{>(@.4089991010):sp2($1>1010@ipaddr1)},

…,

{>(@.4089991016):sp2($1>1016@ipaddr1)},

{>(@.4089991017):sp2($1>1017@ipaddr2)},

{>(@.4089991018):sp2($1>1018@ipaddr2)},

…,

{>(@.4089991024):sp2($1>1024@ipaddr2)},

{>(@.4089991025):sp2($1>1025@ipaddr3)},

{>(@.4089991026):sp2($1>1026@ipaddr3)},

…,

{>(@.4089991032):sp2($1>1032@ipaddr3)}


  • Set Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute =

{(Msp1):sp1(+1408999100n;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2)}

for n = 1, 2, ..., 8

  • Set SP2 Service::X_InboundCallRoute =

{1009:sp1(+14089991009;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2)},

{1010:sp1(+14089991010;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2)},

…,

{1032:sp1(+14089991032;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2)},

 

On EU1, EU2, and EU3:

  • Set Phone n Port::PrimaryLine = SP1  Service for all phone ports
  • Set ITSP Profile A::ProxyServer = ipaddr0
  • Set ITSP Profile A::ProxyServerPort = 5061 (Note: 5061 is the default SP2 Service::X_UserAgent Port)
  • Set ITSP Profile A–SIP::X_SpoofCallerID = true
  • Set SP1 Service::RegisterEnable = false



Extending SIP Trunking on the MU to support 32 Voicemail Accounts

Continuing from the last example, suppose further that the SIP Trunk has 32 voicemail accounts corresponding to the 32 DID numbers, with the voicemail account ID mboxn, for n = 1, 2, … 32. When the voicemail server sends a MWI (a SIP/NOTIFY with Event:message-summary) to the device, it may indicate the mailbox account ID as the User ID field in the request URI of the SIP/NOTIFY, or in the Message-Account field in the message’s body. The OBi5xx looks for the ID in the Message-Account field first. If this is not found, it takes the ID from the request URI. The OBi5xx routes the MWI message according to the X_MWIRoute parameter for the current  SIP trunk (SP1 Service in this example), which may be extended  to include routing the message to EUs. Below is an example that routes MWI message based on one-to-one mapping of voicemail account to phone port.

On the MU:

□     Set SP1 Service::X_MWIRoute =

{mbox1:ph1},{mbox2:ph2},…,{mbox8:ph8},

{mbox9:sp2(1009@ipaddr1)},{mbox10:sp2(1010@ipaddr1)},...,{mbox16:sp2(1016@ipaddr1)},

{mbox17:sp2(1017@ipaddr2)},{mbox18:sp2(1018@ipaddr2)},...,{mbox24:sp2(1024@ipaddr2)},

{mbox25:sp2(1025@ipaddr3)},{mbox26:sp2(1026@ipaddr3)},...,{mbox32:sp2(1032@ipaddr3)}

□     Set SP1 Service::X_VMWIRoute =

{mbox1:ph1},{mbox2:ph2},…,{mbox8:ph8},



ON EU1:

□      Set SP1 Service::X_MWIRoute = {1009:ph1},{1010:ph2},…,{1016:ph8}

□      Set SP1 Service::X_VMWIRoute = {1009:ph1},{1010:ph2},…,{1016:ph8}



ON EU2:

□      Set SP1 Service::X_MWIRoute = {1017:ph1},{1018:ph2},…,{1024:ph8}

□      Set SP1 Service::X_VMWIRoute = {1017:ph1},{1018:ph2},…,{1024:ph8}





ON EU3:

□      Set SP1 Service::X_MWIRoute = {1025:ph1},{1026:ph2},…,{1032:ph8}

□      Set SP1 Service::X_VMWIRoute = {1025:ph1},{1026:ph2},…,{1032:ph8}

 

A More Specific Example:

Given 4 OBi508 where the MU is configured as a router, and the 3 EU are connected to the LAN ports of the MU as shown in the figure below:






 








All EU devices have DHCP enabled and therefore will have IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server in the MU. Let mac1, mac2, and mac3 be the MAC addresses of EU1, EU2, and EU3 respectively. We can reserve the IP addresses to be assigned to these 3 MAC on the MU. Hence, in referencing to the last example, ipaddr0 would the same as the value of LAN Settings::RouterIPAddress on the MU, and ipaddr1, ipaddr2, and ipaddr3 would be equal to the addresses reserved for mac1, mac2, and mac3 respectively on the MU.

 

Case 2: MU/EU Located Anywhere On the Internet

Let the MU, EU1, EU2, and EU3 have OBi Numbers obin0, obin1, obn2, and obn3 respectively, and reachable to OBiTALK.com via the Internet.






 




















Extending Hunt Groups on the MU to span 32 Phone Ports

On the MU, use the following terminals in the configuration of hunt groups

  • VG1(n), n = 1009-1016 to hunt, respectively, PH1-PH8 ports on EU1
  • VG2(n), n = 1017-1024 to hunt, respectively, PH1-PH8 ports on EU2
  • VG3(n), n = 1025-1032 to hunt, respectively, PH1-PH8 ports on EU3
  • Voice  Gateway1::AccessNumber   =  obn1
  • Voice  Gateway2::AccessNumber   =  obn2
  • Voice  Gateway3::AccessNumber   =  obn3
  • Voice Gateway1::SpoofCallerID  = true

Extending SIP Trunking on the MU to support 32 DID Numbers

Let the DID numbers be: +14089991001, +14089991002, … +14089991032, such that that:

+14089991001 – +14089991008 are assigned to PH1-PH8, respectively, on the MU

+14089991009 – +14089991016 are assigned to PH1-PH8, respectively, on the EU1

+14089991017 – +14089991024 are assigned to PH1-PH8, respectively, on the EU2

+14089991001 – +14089991008 are assigned to PH1-PH8, respectively, on the EU3.


On EU1:

  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {obn0>1009:ph1},{obn0>1010:ph2},…  {obn0>1016:ph8}
  • Set Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute = {vg1(m>$2)} for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1009–1016, respectively. Alternatively, using PP directly without going VG, set

Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute = {PP(m@obn0>$2)}  for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1009–1016



On EU2:

  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {obn0>1017:ph1},{obn0>1018:ph2},…  {obn0>1024:ph8}
  • Set Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute = {vg1(m>$2)} for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1017–1024, respectively. Alternatively, using PP directly without going VG, set

Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute = {PP(m@obn0>$2)}  for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1017–1024



On EU3:

  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_InboundCallRoute = {obn0>1025:ph1},{obn0>1026:ph2},…  {obn0>1032:ph8}
  • Set Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute = {vg1(m>$2)} for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1025–1032, respectively. Alternatively, using PP directly without going VG, set

Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute = {PP(m@obn0>$2)}  for n = 1–8 corresponding to m = 1025–1032



On EU1, EU2, and EU3:

  • Set Voice Gateway1::AccessNumber = obn0
  • Set Phone n Port::PrimaryLine = Trunk  Group  1 for all phone ports
  • Set Trunk Group 1::TrunkList = vg1
  • Set Voice Gateway 1::SpoofCallerID = true



On the MU:

  • Set SP1 Service::X_InboundCallRoute =

{>(@.4089991001):ph1},

{>(@.4089991002):ph2},

 

…,

{>(@.4089991008):ph8},

{>(@.4089991009):VG1($1>1009)},

{>(@.4089991010):VG1($1>1010)},

…,

{>(@.4089991016):VG1($1>1016)},

{>(@.4089991017):VG2($1>1017)},

{>(@.4089991018):VG2($1>1018)},

…,

{>(@.4089991024):VG2($1>1024)},

{>(@.4089991025):VG3($1>1025)},

{>(@.4089991026):VG3($1>1026)},

…,

{>(@.4089991032):VG3($1>1032)}

Alternatively, you may use PP directly without going through VG, albeit somewhat lengthier:

SP1     Service::X_InboundCallRoute    =

{>(@.4089991001):ph1},

{>(@.4089991002):ph2},

…,

{>(@.4089991008):ph8},

{>(@.4089991009):PP($1>1009@obn1)},

{>(@.4089991010):PP($1>1010@obn1)},

…,

{>(@.4089991016):PP($1>1016@obn1)},

{>(@.4089991017):PP($1>1017@obn2)},

{>(@.4089991018):PP($1>1018@obn2)},

…,

{>(@.4089991024):PP($1>1024@obn2)},

{>(@.4089991025):PP($1>1025@obn3)},

{>(@.4089991026):PP($1>1026@obn3)},

…,

{>(@.4089991032):PP($1>1032@obn3)}



  • Set Phone n Port::OutboundCallRoute =

{(Msp1):sp1(+1408999m;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2)}

for n = 1, 2, …, 8 corresponding to m = 1001 – 1009, respectively


  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_InboundCallRoute =

{1009@obn1:sp1(+14089991009;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2},

{1010@obn1:sp1(+14089991010;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2},

…,

{1016@obn1:sp1(+14089991010;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2},

{1017@obn2:sp1(+14089991017;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2},

…,

{1024@obn2:sp1(+14089991024;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2},

{1025@obn3:sp1(+14089991025;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2},

…,

{1032@obn3:sp1(+14089991032;context=xyz.com;;user=phone>$2}



Note that for OBiTALK service, caller-id matching is based on the caller’s OBi number. To match caller’s number, use the syntax number@OBiNumber to match both the caller’s number and obi number, or number@ to match just the caller’s number, in the caller-id field insider PP() in the inbound call route. Note also that when routing a call to go out from OBiTALK (i.e. PP), the caller number and caller obi number are always spoofed; no setting is required. On the other hand, when routing call to go out via VG, the caller id is not spoofed by default; you must enable the SpoofCallerID option on the VG to spoof the caller-id.

 

Extending SIP Trunking on the MU to support 32 Voicemail Accounts

Continuing from the last example, suppose further that the SIP Trunk has 32 voicemail accounts corresponding to the 32 DID numbers, with the voicemail account ID mboxn, for n = 1, 2, … 32. When the voicemail server sends a MWI (a SIP/NOTIFY with Event:message-summary) to the device, it may indicate the mailbox account ID as the User ID field in the request URI of the SIP/NOTIFY, or in the Message-Account field in the message’s body. The OBi5xx looks for the ID in the Message-Account field first. If this is not found, it takes the ID from the request URI. The OBi5xx routes the MWI message according to the X_MWIRoute parameter for the current  SIP trunk (SP1 Service in this example), which may be extended  to include routing the message to EUs. Below is an example that routes MWI message based on one-to-one mapping of voicemail account to phone port.

On the MU:

  • Set SP1 Service::X_MWIRoute =

{mbox1:ph1},{mbox2:ph2},…,{mbox8:ph8},

{mbox9:pp(1009@obn1)},{mbox10:pp(1010@obn1)},...,{mbox16:pp(1016@obn1)},

{mbox17:pp(1017@obn2)},{mbox18:pp(1018@obn2)},...,{mbox24:pp(1024@obn2)},

{mbox25:pp(1025@obn3)},{mbox26:pp(1026@obn3)},...,{mbox32:pp(1032@obn3)}

  • Set SP1 Service::X_VMWIRoute =

{mbox1:ph1},{mbox2:ph2},…,{mbox8:ph8},

ON EU1:

  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_MWIRoute = {1009:ph1},{1010:ph2},…,{1016:ph8}
  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_VMWIRoute = {1009:ph1},{1010:ph2},…,{1016:ph8}



ON EU2:

  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_MWIRoute = {1017:ph1},{1018:ph2},…,{1024:ph8}
  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_VMWIRoute = {1017:ph1},{1018:ph2},…,{1024:ph8}





ON EU3:

  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_MWIRoute = {1025:ph1},{1026:ph2},…,{1032:ph8}
  • Set OBiTALK Service::X_VMWIRoute = {1025:ph1},{1026:ph2},…,{1032:ph8}



Final Thoughts

We have discussed two specific cases of virtual stacking: a) All devices within the same subnet with static/reserved IP addresses and b) All devices are scattered on the Internet and linked via OBiTALK. In general, the two cases can be mixed where some devices are on the same subnet as the MU that also serves as their router (gateway), and other devices    scattered elsewhere on the Internet. The architecture thus allows for example the MU and some EUs in the main office, but have one or more devices in branch offices.
