Set up Obi200 with Google Voice & Comcast Phone?
ProfTech:
azrobert; That is a pretty cool idea I hadn't considered [before ordering the adapter!] I'm assuming the phone would plug into the 110 and one of the sp slots in the 110 would show the 200 as a service provider? That would give me a total of 5 slots. I've been using Asterisk running on a BeagleBone Black to do this for a while now but just recently got everything working the way I believe to be correct on a yet un-released version of 13.5. More to come after I test it for a while...

You can set it up anyway you want. I have my main phone connected to the OBi200. I also defined my main service provider on the OBi200. You need an SP trunk on each device to communicate between the 2 boxes, but these SP trunks can be shared, allowing registration to 6 providers. I have a dedicated trunk for this purpose on the OBi200 only because I don't need it. On the OBi110 I share SP2 with a service. Alternately, you can use the OBiTalk network to communicate between the boxes. This is an easier setup, but not as reliable. If you have an extra phone you can connect it to the OBi110 giving you a 2nd line.
I also have Asterisk (Raspbx), but it's basically a toy for me. This gives you even more connectivity options.

Thanks for all the informative posts in this thread! I decided to not keep the Comcast Voice option, and opted back into Internet only. I also returned the Comcast Arris modem, going back to my Motorola SB6141 modem. The OBiLINE adapter is a good idea for future reference. I didn't know about that product. I am looking up NoMoRobo to see if I can use it with my Google Voice-Obi setup. Thanks again, guys! Much appreciated. :)

My 110 has served me very nicely for nearly 3 years now but the extra 2 SP slots in the 200 are enticing.
I wouldn't worry about the OBiLine working correctly or not. If you have an echo, you could continue to use your OBi110 and access the PSTN line from the OBi200. You would send and receive PSTN calls between the 2 boxes using IP addresses. This also gives you an extra phone port and you would be able to access all trunks on both boxes from the either phone port. This is how I have my OBi200 and OBi110 setup.
Sorry a slightly (!) delayed query.
Would you be kind enought to tell me exactly how you set this up?
I tried an Obi 202/110 combo this year mainly due to an echo problem, but the interaction between the Obi 202 and 110 intrduces a further latency which meant the echo problems were if anything worse than with the Obiline. This appeared to be due to the Obis using a jitter buffer (and hence introducing latency) when passing the call data stream between them. It seemed that while the 202 could be set to zero jitter buffer, the 110 could not. But maybe I misunderstood something.
Here's the start of the discussion about this issue in m topic:

Here's the end of my topic when I gave up trying:

Worth noting that I am in the UK and on a fairly long line, so exact impedance matching is probably not possible, I have tried. :)
If you could help I would be very grateful, as I found the Obiline pretty problematic for PSTN, even with all firware updates and all recommended regional settings correctly applied. It seems to work reasonably in the USA, but creates issues in sme other parts of the globe. The 110 (which I am currently using on its own) seems OK in the UK, echo and reliability-wise, with the correct settings - but I really need the two ph lines of the 202.
Kind regards
Mike

Would you be kind enough to tell me exactly how you set this up?
I have an OBi200 and an OBi110.
The OBi200 has SP4 setup as a Proxy (a dummy trunk with X_Proxy enabled).
I use a VG definition on the OBi200 pointing to the OBi110's IP address and it uses SP4 to route calls to SP2 on the OBi110.
I didn't make any extra parm changes for this setup.
I normally don't use this connection. PSTN is my primary line and have a phone in every room connected directly to PSTN. I basically use the 110 to block telemarketing calls.
This morning I tested the connection between the 200 and 110.
I made a call from the OBi200 to GV on the OBi110 via PSTN.
OBi200 -> OBi110 -> PSTN -> GV on OBi110 -> OBi110 phone port
Made another call directly from PSTN to GV on the OBI110
PSTN -> GV on OBi110 -> OBi110 phone port
The direct PSTN call had clear audio and almost no latency.
The OBi200 call had a noticeable poorer quality, but perfectly acceptable.
It had a slightly longer latency, but also acceptable.
No echo.
