How can I check what firmware my Obi200 is using?

(1/3) > >>

GreggNet:
I just set up my Obi 200 and it's working fine. But I'd like to check and see the firmware version it's using. I don't see the firmware # listed anywhere in the ObiTalk dashboard. I dialed ***6 and it says "software update not available." But it doesn't tell me the version and I don't know if it's up to date.

SteveInWA:
On the OBiTALK dashboard, go into Expert mode, and you'll see it there, under Status --> System Status.

Or, log into the device's local IP address, and do the same.

Or, dial ***0, then 1# on the phone attached to the OBi, and it will be read out to you.

The current build is 4822, available here:

GreggNet:
Thanks. Expert mode only listed the same info for the device as regular mode.

But ***0 worked. It says my "current value" is 3.0.1. 4738. That's odd. I just bought the device and set it up 2 days ago and it's firmware isn't up to date and ***6 says "software update not available."

It's right there, in plain sight, on the Status --> System status section; see my attached screen shot.

The latest version being shipped on new units, and being offered via the ***6 method, as well as when clicking on the latest firmware link here on the forum's firmware section, is 4738.  One of us discovered the 4822 level, but there's no information available as to what (likely very minor) change it may have incorporated.  

My guess is that some customer had a specific issue that needed a firmware patch to resolve, and so Obihai made an update, but they didn't consider it important enough to update every device.

*Edit:  if I recall correctly, 4822 addressed an issue that caused a problem displaying the iframe on the right (the white area, containing the information display for each section) to be blank on a (now-downlevel) version of Google Chrome Browser.

It's your choice as to whether you leave it alone or upgrade.

GreggNet:
Thanks for the info. My expert mode status - system status really does not show all the info yours does. I don't want to post a screen shot because of the serial # and other info but I only get in expert mode the first 4 lines that you get. Model Name, MAC Address, Serial # and Obi#
