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.

Introduction to OBi Devices

Built with a high-performance system-on-a-chip platform to ensure high quality voice conversations, OBi devices are dedicated systems targeted at the application of voice over IP services. OBi 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 four (4) LED lights on the top of the OBi. 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.

LED Icon	Light Behavior	What It Means
	Off	The OBi is not receiving power.
	Solid Green	The OBi is operational.
	Flashing Green	The OBi is looking for a DHCP IP address.
	Flashing Orange	The OBi is upgrading. DO NOT remove power!
	Solid Red	The OBi is non-operational.

Internet Connection Set-Up and Configuration

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the OBi INTERNET port 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.

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

The 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.

§ 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 2^nd (outbound) call is ringing or connected. If the 2^nd (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 Service (SP1), SP2 Service (SP2), OBiTalk Service (PP1), and PSTN Line (LI1).

PHONE PORT::DigitMap

PHONE PORT::OutboundCallRoutes

PHONE PORT::CallReturnDigitMaps

Using the OBi as a Paging System

You may connect the OBi PHONE port to an external PA system via an RJ11-to-Line-Out connector (available at many poular electronics shops), and enable the PHONE port option UseForPagingOnly. In this configuration, the phone port is expected to be “off-hook” all the time. The OBi will automatically answer incoming calls. It will not accept call-waiting. When the phone port goes from on-hook to off-hook, in case the user needs to dial * * * to invoke the IVR, the OBi will play a dial tone for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds the OBi will turn silent and be ready to accept an incoming call to page.

Primary Line

By default, devices which come with an analog (PSTN) line port will use this as the Primary Line for outbound calls made from the PHONE port and via the OBi Auto Attendant. This means that when you dial a new number using the AA, you do not need to first dial a service route access code. You can select the Primary Line for the PHONE port and for the AA, respectively, using the parameters PHONE Port::PrimaryLine and Auto Attendant::PrimaryLine.

Depending on the device model, you may add up to two (2) or four (4) SP VoIP services to the OBi, and attach a PSTN line to the LINE Port as an additional voice service. The VoIP services can be SIP-based services 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 available trunks or TG1 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 trunk or TG1 as the Primary Line. The list below summarizes the choices available for selection as the primary line:

SP1 Service
SP2 Service
SP3 Service2
SP4 Service2
OBiTALK Service
PSTN Line [1]
Trunk Group 1

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 32

· ** 4 : SIP Service Provider 4 or Google Voice Service 42

· ** 8 : PSTN Line Port Service Provider1

· ** 9 : OBiTALK Network

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

LINE Port Set-Up and Configuration

Like a PHONE port, a LINE port has a basic UI (User Interface) for I/O (Input / Output) of signalling or control messages:

The OBi LINE port supports the following inputs: DTMF, Polarity, CPC, Caller ID, Ring, Tone

The OBi LINE port supports the following outputs: DTMF/Tone, On Hook, Off Hook, Hook Flash*

The OBi LINE port will assume a call is Connected on the following conditions:

End of dialing for outbound calls

Off hook for inbound calls

The OBi LINE port will assume a call is Disconnected on the following conditions:

Power Down, CPC, Long Silence, or Disconnect Tone

Note: The OBi LINE port and system logic will not attempt to invoke or interpret PSTN supplementary services. This is directly between the user and the Phone Company.

· To signal hook flash to the PSTN Line during a call from the phone attached to the PHONE port, Phone PORT::HookFlashHandling must be set to Send Flash Hook to PSTN

Features Available on the OBi202 Model

Sharing Files on an External USB Storage Device

OBi202 has a USB port that can be attached to an external USB storage device, such as a USB flash drive or USB hard disk drive. The OBi202 native web server includes functionalities for browsing the contents on the attached USB device and sharing them selectively with other parties.

There are three levels of access to an attached USB storage device, admin, user, and anonymous. Admin and user level access are protected by a Used ID and Password. The admin will have full access while a user level access can be restricted. Anonymous acess is limited to read-only without being prompted by the OBi202 to enter a User ID or Password. To have admin level access, one must login with the User ID “admin” and provide the corresponding password. To login as a user, one must login with a valid User ID and provide the corresponding password. Up to 10 User IDs can be specified in the OBi202 configuration for user level access, and each User ID can be enabled individually and assigned a different set of restrictions with the following attrbutes:

Home Directory: This specifies where in the device directory tree the user nay start browsing.
File Filter: This specifies which file types the user can see and manipulate. File filters are limited to filename suffixes such as *.jpg; *.mp3
Write Enable: This specifies whether the user can upload, delete, copy, cut and paste files or create new directories on the USB device. Note: By default, read/file-download access is granted to all users.

Use the following URLs on a web browser to launch the OBi File Explorer:

For anonymous level access: http://<OBi-IP-Address>/obi_share/anonymous
For admin or user level access: http://<OBi-IP-Address>/obi_share

The File Explore can be launched from either the WAN or LAN side of the OBi. The WAN side access can be disabled in the configuration.

IP Routing and LAN Switching Features (OBi202 Only)

OBi202 has two Ethernet ports labelled as the Internet port and the LAN port. The OBi works as a router by default. All the native voice services and features use the WAN port only when the OBi202 is in router mode. The OBi can also be set to work as a 3-port switch (a.k.a. Bridge mode), by changing its OperationMode parameter from Router to Bridge. Note: One of the switch ports is for OBi202 internal use only.

IP Routing Features

In router mode we refer to the network connected to the OBi Internet Port as the WAN side of the OBi202, and the network connected to the OBi LAN Port the LAN side of the OBi. The WAN side may be connected to another Ethernet switch or directly to an access device such as a cable or DSL modem for Internet access. The OBi202 routes traffic between the LAN side and the WAN side, thus allowing the devices (such as PCs) attached to the LAN side to share Internet access. The OBi202 supports subnet masks as big as 255.255.255.0 to accomodate up to 253 IP addresses on its LAN side subnet.

In addition to being a NAT (Nework Address Translation) router, the OBi202 includes a DHCP server, a DNS forwarder and a basic firewall. It supports port forwarding, DMZ, QoS, and VLAN (802.1q). The maximum routing throughput between the WAN and the LAN side is approximately 30 Mbps. This speed can be achieved when there are no active calls in the system. Otherwise the throughput will be limited to a slower speed to accommodate the load for voice processing. Note that if the WAN side is connected to an Internet access device directly, then the throughout could be be further limited by the speed of the Intenet uplink and downlink.

The OBi202 will acquire its WAN side IP address using one of the following methods: Static Address Assignment, DHCP, or PPPoE. By default, the OBi202 acquires its WAN side IP address using DHCP. Also by default, the OBi202’s own DHCP server is enabled to support LAN side clients, e.g. PCs. The default LAN side IP address of the router is 192.168.10.1.

Incoming packets receiving from the WAN side are fowarded by the router according to the following flow:

§ If firewall is enabled, discard the packet if it is rejected by any one of the active firewall components

§ If the sending host address matches a valid entry in an interal host binding table, queue the packet for local processing. This binding table is updaed by the router with an internal algorithm.

§ If the sending host address matches a valid entry in an internal NAT binding table, forward the packet to the corresponding LAN IP address. The NAT binding table is updated by the router with an internal algorithm.

§ If the receiving port and protocol matches a reserved pair to support an internal process (e.g. TCP Port 80 for the OBi202 web server process), queue the packet for local processing.

§ If the receiving port and protocol matches a port forwarding rule, forward the packet to the LAN IP address according to that rule.

§ If a DMZ host is configured, forward the packet to that LAN IP address.

§ Queue the packet for internal processing.

DHCP Server

By default, the built-in DHCP server is enabled on the OBi202. It assigns IP address, network mask, DNS server and default gateway address to the DHCP clients on the LAN side. The default gatway and DNS server have the same IP address as the LAN side IP address of the router. In the DHCP server configuration, you may select the range of client IP addresses to give out the Lease Time and the Local Doamin Name. Furthermore, by using the DHCP reservation feature, you may reserve specific IP addresses for some devices with specific MAC addresses. With this, those devices can always be assigned the same IP addresses reserved for them each time they make a request to the DHCP server. See the LAN Settings and DHCP Reservation sections for more details.

Firewall

The firewall protects local processes and LAN side clients against certain basic threats from the WAN side (or the Internet), such as port scanning and a DOS (Denial of Service) attack. The firewall settings also allow you to selectively turn on or off the following related features:

§ NATRedirection – Supports NAT Redirection (a.k.a NAT Loopback or Haripin) if enabled (default is disabled).

§ DRDOSAttackProtection – Protects against DOS attack if enabled (default is disabled).

§ VPNPassThrough – Blocks all VPN traffic if disabled (default is enabled).

The settings of these features will take effect only if firewall is enabled. Otherwise, they will take on their respective default values (that is, no NATRedirection or DRDOSAttackProtection and VPNPasssThrough is allowed).

Port Forwarding

Up to 20 port forwarding rules may be defined on the OBi. For each rule a range of ports and a designated receiving LAN IP address must be specified such that incoming traffic arriving at any of those ports on the WAN side are forwarded to the same port at the designated IP address on the LAN side. You may also specify for each rule if it should only apply to packets transported over UDP, TCP or both.

DMZ

The DMZ host in the router is the default LAN client address to which a packet received from the WAN side is forwarded when the router fails to find a matching LAN IP address or matching local process to forward the packet to. Note if firewall is enabled, that the packet is still subject to firewall inspection before forwarding to the DMZ host.

QoS

QoS (Quality of Service) refers to the prioritization of network traffic based on the type of traffic. For example, time critical traffic such as VoIP may be allocated the highest priority so they can have a better chance of on time delivery to the destination. On the OBi202, QoS policy applies to upstream traffic (LAN-to-WAN) only. Downstream QoS is entirely up to the the ISP / upstream routers and switches. The upstream traffic is prioritized according to its type of service as indicated by the DiffServ/TOS bits in the IP header of each packet. In the QoS settings, you may map the 64 possible types of service to one of the three priority classes: High, Medium and Low. You may also specify the guarenteed minimum upstream bandwidth for each priority class. LAN side clients indicate the desired priority class of their outbound packets to the router by marking the DiffServ/TOS bits of their packets accordingly. See the QoS Settings section for more details.

In addition to the three priority classes, a fourth priority class known as the Restricted class is available. The Restricted class has the highest priority among the four classes. The guarateed bandwidth for the Restricted class is allocated separately with its own parameter in the configuration.

Note that the total guranateed bandwidth allocated to all the four priority classes is equal to the total available uplink bandwidth, which must be specified correctly in the UpStreamBandwidth parameter in the QoS settings for QoS to work properly.

VLAN Support in Router Mode

In router mode, the OBi202 can support VLAN (802.1Q) on the WAN side. When VLAN is enabled, incoming packets from the WAN side not belonging to the same VLAN are dropped, while all outgoing packets to the WAN side are tagged with the configured VLAN ID. The VLAN support is transparent to the devices on LAN side. The router removes the VLAN tag when forwarding packets to the LAN side.

LAN Switching Features

Instead of acting as a router, the OBi202 can be set to work as a 3-port switch. One of the ports is internal and is used by the OBi202 CPU only, while the two external ports (labelled as Interent and LAN) can be connected to other devices. This mode of operation is known as the bridge mode. In this mode, all the router features, such DHCP server, firewall and port forwarding, will not take effect. The QoS policy in this case is hardwired such that the native voice and related traffic will always have highest priority (this behavior is not configurable). Furthermore, accessing the OBi device management web pages from either of the two external ports is always allowed.

VLAN Support in Bridge Mode

When VLAN is enabled, packets sent to the OBi not belonging to the same VLAN are dropped, while packets sent by the OBi are tagged with the configured VLAN ID. The packets switched directly between the external ports, on the other hand, are not modified by the OBi.

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

3-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 Style Feature Invocation

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 2^nd incoming call	1^st call connected, 2^nd call ringing
R1	End the 1^st call. Resume or answer the 2^nd call	1^st call connected, 2^nd call on hold or ringing
R2	Hold 1^st call. Resume or answer the 2^nd call (swap calls)	1^st call connected, 2^nd call on hold or ringing
R3	Keep the 1^st call. Resume or answer the 2^nd call (conference)	1^st call connected, 2^nd call on hold or ringing
R4	Transfer 2^nd call peer to the 1^st call peer	1^st call connected, 2^nd 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.

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 1/2 Collaborative Features (OBi202 Only)

While PHONE 1 and PHONE 2 can function independently of each other, the OBi202 also offers some collaborative features to let the two phone ports work together as a mini phone system.

With the factory default digit map and call routing rules, you can dial a single “#” (pound/hash) digit to call from one phone port to ring the other phone port. Depending on the current state of the called phone, one of the following can happen:

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 already on a call, the calling phone will barge in to join the call.
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 aswer that call.
For all other scenarios, the calling phone will hear busy tone.

Note that you can prevent the calling phone port from doing 2, 3 and 4, as they can be disabled by setting the parameter EnablePhonePortBargeIn to false for that port. In that case, 2 will become normal call-waiting on the called phone, but the calling phone will hear busy tone for 3 and 4.

You can also transfer an external call from PHONE 1 to PHONE 2 the usual way: while connected on an external all, hook flash and dial # to ring the other phone, then hang up to transfer when the caller phone rings or answers.

For incoming calls on any trunk (SP1-4 or OBiTALK Service), one can set up the corresponding inbound call route to ring just PHONE 1 or PHONE 2 or both. The default inbound call routes are setup to ring both phone ports.

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 prmary line to SP1 for both 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 SP1 for the SP1 Voice Service (with ITSP A or B), SP2 for the SP2 Voice Service (with ITSP A or B), LI1 for the PSTN service (on the LINE Port), or PP1 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)

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.

1. Auto Attendant IVR 1: Referred to as “aa” (or aa1) for call processing commands.

2. Auto Attendant IVR 2: Referred to as “aa2” for local configuration.

If settings require reboot, it will be done automatically when quitting the IVR.

IVR (AA2) invoked by *** as default.

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.

Main Menu configuration options are accessed by pressing * * * from a phone attached to the PHONE port of the OBi, followed by a single digit of the option number as listed below:

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:

1. From a phone attached to the OBi, dial * * * to access the OBi Config Attendant.

2. Choose “1” to hear the IP Address of the OBi read back to you. Write this down.

3. Enter the OBi IP Address in a local PC web browser address field:

4. 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.

Description: menu

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 may be accessed from the LAN side or the WAN side. While access from the LAN side is always allowed, for security reasons, the access from the WAN side may be disabled by configuration. 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) from an attached telephone.

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.

Firmware: Local OBi Device Update and Management

Updating Firmware:

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.

Customized AA Prompts Backup & Restore:

Up to 10 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 anotations 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.

Configuration Backup & Restore:

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.

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.

For the OBi202, there are three factory reset options: reset just the voice settings, reset just the router settings, and reset all settings. There is a different IVR option for invoking each factory reset option. By default, the hardware reset button located via an opening on the underside of the OBi202 will reset all settings. Via software configuration, it can be configured to reset just the voice or just the router settings.

Zero-Touch, Massive Scale Remote Provisioning:

OBi ZT or Zero Touch provisioning is a system level approach to deploying and maintaining thousands or millions of OBi devices with high security and control at the device level down to the individual parameter provisioned on each device. Please contact sales@obihai.com for information regarding the capability, process and practice of using OBi ZT Provisioning.

ITSP Quick Start Setup Wizard (OBi100 and OBi110)

The Setup Wizard page displays a collection of commonly used parameters in a condensed format. Each parameter listed here corresponds to a parameter inside one of the parameter groups. The Setup Wizard page may use more user friendly (but similar) parameters name for the actual parameters they mirror. In other words, if the mirrored parameters are changed from the web page or remote provisioning, the corresponding parameters on the Setup Wizard page will show the same values.

The illustration below depicts the OBi device web page Setup Wizard.

Description: system-status2

The illustration above shows the service status on the OBi202 (note that SP3 and SP4 Service Status are not available on the OBi100 and OBi110). The SPn service value (where n = 1, 2, 3 [2], or 42) will indicate the current state of the service with regard to its configuration (or not) and if configured its registration status. If there are problems with the registration or authentication of the OBi with a prescribed service, the SIP 4xx error message will be displayed here.

This is very useful information for troubleshooting issues with SIP-based services.

LAN Status (OBi202 only)

The LAN Status page shows the devices currently on the LAN. There are two sections:

· Attached Devices: All the devices that the router has discovered on the LAN side; each entry has a MAC address and an IP address

· DHCP Clients: All the DHCP clients that have an active lease with the DHCP server; each entry has a Client Name, a MAC address, an IP address, and the lease expiration time (in seconds)

Below is a screen shot of a typical LAN Status page. This page is available when the OBi202 is working in router mode.

Call Status

The Call Status page shows a number of running call statistics and state parameters for each active call currently in progress. A sample call status page is shown below.

For each entry on the call status page, the following buttons may be available:

- Remove: This button is available for all calls. Pressing this button will end that call.

- Record: This button is available for calls involving the Phone port only. Pressing this button allows you to record the current conversation in an audio (.au) file

Call History

The OBi Call History page shows the last 200 calls made with the OBi (400 calls for the OBi202). Detailed call information is available, including what terminals were involved, the name (if available) of the Peer endpoints making the call and the direction / path the call took.

The Call History page also captures what time various events took place.

The Call History can be saved at any time by clicking on the “Save All” button. The Call History can be saved as an XML formatted file called “callhistory.xml”.

Services, Phone & Line Status

Statistics relevant to SPn can be found on the SPn Stats page (where n = 1, 2, 32, 42).
