Hi SteveInWa
I was reading the post about using 2 obi's with 1 gv acct. First, I love my obi110 in my office and have been using it for several years. I also have an obi200 at home. On the home obi, i have a separate personal gv acct. I want to use the same gv acct that i have in my office on the home obi. I reconfigured the home obi to use the office gv acct but when i do this, the office obi110 won't ring but the home obi will. I have been searching for a solution and can't find it so that's why i posted here. I am thinking it's b/c the 110 won't integrate with the 200?
Thanks
Ernest
The OBi 1x0 devices don't support multiple, simultaneous access to the same Google account; only the 200 and 10x2 series products do that.

I recommend upgrading the 110 to a 200 model, unless you need the POTS telephone line port on the 110. Otherwise, AZRobert documents the workaround here:

Steve;
thanks for the reply, I was trying every configuration i could think of to try and do a work around; I kinda figured that. Will upgrade the 110. Thanks.

Yah, the older, less-capable "System on a Chip" in the 100/110 models doesn't have the firmware capability to manage simultaneous Google Voice (actually Google Chat) connections to the same account. The 200 series have a faster, more capable SoC and more RAM and ROM, so more features can be supported.
Geez:
Steve,
When replacing the 110 with a 200, do you still have to follow the protocol you list in this thread by changing the settings on one of the obi's or can i just designate the same gv acct for each obi200?
Thanks
