Accessing the call log remotely
drgeoff:
The user login does not permit changes to many settings but it does give access to Call History.
However I don't see how that can improve security. AFAIK it is not possible to enable user login and disable admin login so it is only the admin password that keeps anyone out.

My friend connected a second Obi110 to the same phone line and the same LAN in my European apartment. I was planning to open a router port for that second OBI110 so that I can check Call Log on that Obi remotely. That way, even if somebody messes up that second OBI I would still be able to use my first OBI for making and receiving calls. The problem is that when I connected both Obi110 units to the same router, the call forwarding feature from LINE to SIP1 (Google Voice) on the first Obi stopped working. After the second Obi110 was disconnected from LAN, the call forwarding started working again. I wonder why that happened and if there is a way to prevent that issue. I wonder if two OBIs (with default settings) on the same LAN are allowed, and if not, is there a way to change Obi’s default setting in order to allow both Obi110 units on the same LAN.
Thanks,
Milos

That is puzzling. There should be no problem having two OBi110s on the same POTS line and same LAN. Provided they are using DHCP or have different static addresses. (Or "pseudo static" ones if the DHCP server has been set to do that.)
There could be an issue if both units are using the same GV account.
Milos:
Thank drgeoff. I will investigate this further, now that you confirmed that two OBIs should be able to work in parallel.

Milos:
I wonder if I would be able to get the caller ID of the PSTN call on the remote OBI in Europe by installing another OBI on my side and forwarding the calls from European OBI to my new OBI in the US. I wonder if the call log of my US OBI would show the caller ID of the PSTN call on the European OBI side. I read somewhere that the second OBI would show both the PSTN caller ID and the number of the sending OBI, but I am not sure if that's true.
Thanks,
Milos
