2 Stage Dialing with Obi312 over PSTN

[Anonymous]

We are using an Obi 312 for the FXO Port and need to be able to do 2-stage dialing when calling out over the PSTN.  We cannot find setting to allow us to go off hook on the FXO port without dialing a number.  Does anyone know what setting needs to change for this to be allowed?

I just used ## from the built-in default OutboundCallRoute on the "Phone1" physical interface. But there may be other options as listed below as well, hope this helps!

OUTBOUND CALL ROUTE:

{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<##:>):li},{(<**70:>(Mli)):li},{(<**82:>(Mbt2)):bt2},{(<**81:>(Mbt)):bt},{(<**8:>(Mbt)):bt},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**3:>(Msp3)):sp3},{(<**4:>(Msp4)):sp4},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}

From the poly-obi3-obi5-ag-en.pdf (ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE - Poly OBi Devices - OBi3 and OBi5 Series)

Invoke a Second Dial Tone in a Digit Map:

You can tell the device 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 stops when the next digit is entered.

For example:

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

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
● 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
● st = Stutter Tone
● 0 – 9, *, #, a – d = DTMF 0 – 9, *, #, A – D
