Multiple obihai devices?

Either you are doing something wrong or you have a cr*p router.  :(


I don't think i'm doing anything wrong, but it being a crap (dlink DIR-862L) router wouldn't surprise me. There was a recent router firmware update posted, but that made no difference. I'm just going to go back to all lines working on the obihai in front of the router, and i'll try directing a call to the 2nd obihai (behind the router) through obitalk. If that doesn't work, i'll just buy a new router :(

Thanks all for the help - The important answer is

1) The obihai should be placed behind the router, not in front of it. If that doesn't work, look at your router.
2) Multiple obihai devices should work on the same network. If everything is setup properly and it still doesn't work, look at your router.

Mango:
First check that your modem is in bridge mode, or that your D-Link router's WAN address is a public IP address (NOT beginning with 192.168 or 10.)  If it is already that way, you may wish to try the following:

Perhaps your router's SIP ALG is preventing your devices from working behind it.  If your router has a setting for SIP ALG, try to disable it.  If it doesn't have such a setting, or if that does not solve the problem, you may wish to use alternate port numbers.

Follow step 5 on page 2 of http://forum.fongo.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=16196 to use voip4.freephoneline.ca on port 6060.  The link is for an OBi100 but the settings are the same.

I suggest you also set your X_UserAgentPort (from within Voice Services -> SPx Service) to a unique number between 20000 and 65535 for all three lines.  For example: 30001, 30002, and 30003.

This might allow you to use your ATAs behind your router.  Let us know how things go.

With the obihais behind the router, the router had a public ip. I had also tried sip alg on and off. I tried selecting voip4/6060, but that didn't make a difference. Neither did changing the user agent port :(

At this time, I have one obihai in front of the router (configured as router), with 3 individual sips configured on it. I have a second obihai behind the router (set as bridge), accessing obihai #1 as a gateway. Sip 1 is connected to obi1ph1, sip 2 obi1ph2, and sip3 reroutes through obitalk to obi2ph1. All lines are working properly inbound/outbound with that setup.

I'll continue playing with my settings, and see if I can figure out what's causing the obihai behind my router not to function properly with normal setup. I'd say it has to be user error/not the router, since csipsimple running on my android tablet is working with no problems.

For testing purposes, I also configured 411 to work with mirrored settings to 911. Eventually i'll pay the freephoneline.ca $35 charge to test 911, but not until i'm at a 'preferred' setup.

Thanks again, the most important thing is that it does/should work - I just need to figure out what I did wrong.

As a followup - Turns out my router isn't quite so bad anymore: I just rechecked the dd-wrt firmware, and it does work with my router as of about a year ago.

I replaced the firmware with dd-wrt, and moved both obihai devices behind the router. I'll probably want to reverse the changes i'd made on them, however, without doing anything they both are working properly behind the router now - Issues with the previous setup attempts had to have been the router itself.
