ObiTalk with Cisco IP Phone
Logan:
Ok, great to hear. I just purchased an OBi phone. I should be fine configuring the device to work with my phone number and firewall. The only issue I feel like I'll run into is getting it to work with my Jabra headset, so I'll reach out to you after I get the basics setup. Thanks for the info and look forward to working with you.
Logan:
So I purchased the OBi1062 and I have it setup and functioning with my phone numbers. I went to plug the headset lifter into the phone to see if it'd work with it and the auxiliary plug on the Jabra headset lifter does not fit into the auxiliary port on the back of the OBi1062. The Jabra handset lifter appears to be on an RJ45 plug, while the Obi1062 appears to have an RJ11 port. What do I do now? Thanks.

You need to spend more money.
You need one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BG58TUK
Or, you can connect it the "old school" way, which uses the ring-detector mic built into the Jabra electromechanical handset lifter. You then unplug the OBi phone's handset cord from the RJ-9 jack in the base of the phone, plug the headset's RJ-9 jumper cable into the phone, in place of its handset cord, and then plug the handset cord into the headset base.

So I purchased the OBiEHS and it appears that I'll need another cable from Jabra to fully set it up according to this old thread: https://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=12364.0
EDIT: I was able to get the headset temporarily working through connecting it directly to the OBi1062. Then, I went ahead and ordered this cable in hopes it was the last remaining piece of my puzzle: https://www.amazon.com/Jabra-14201-10-LINK-Adapter-Aastra/dp/B007KMEWWI

Yep, that's the correct Jabra-Link cable. Using that cable, plus the OBi cable, you will not need the electro-mechanical handset lifter. When you click the headset's answer button or remove the headset from its charger base, it will answer the call.
You'll connect the OBi EHS cable to the two jacks on the phone, then plug the other end into the plastic female-female connector, then plug the Jabra Link cable into that connector, and, finally, plug the Jabra Link cable into the headset's base. The RJ-45 plug goes into the port on the headset base where you had the RHL (handset lifter) connected.
See the attached image for the settings you need to change on the OBiTALK web portal for the phone.
