Phone not power up at all? Obi200
drgeoff:
That you expect the phone to "power up" is a strong indicator that it is not a conventional analogue phone. Analogue phones when off-hook take no or almost no power from the phone line. Analogue phones that need power when off-hook have some other means of getting power, eg a wallwart.
If the Vodavi has lamps or a screen etc that normally work when off-hook then it is very unlikely to be an analogue phone and will never work with any OBi ATA or indeed any brand of ATA. (The clue is the first letter of that TLA!)
A flashing phone LED on an OBi that is not being called normally means the phone is off-hook. The OBi senses that because an analogue phone takes power when off-hook. The Vodavi trying to take power may be having the same effect.

Use a known analogue phone to test the OBi for dial tone. If necessary, take the OBi home and use your home phone for the 30 second test.
I suspect the Vodavi only works with the phone system in your building but you didn't give the phone's model number. Anyway a quick search didn't turn up any Vodavi technical info on which I could say one way or the other.

The phone is this guy: https://www.amazon.com/Vodavi-3012-71-Button-Speaker-Display/dp/B00EDOKD0Q/
It is the phones use in the whole office building that our company rented. It doesn't turn on at all when plug in to Obi200, but it power up and turn on when plug into the phone jack from the building wall. Not much at the back of the phone, it's "made in Korea".
Anyway, thanks for the input! I just ordered a Vtech CS6114 phone and will pick it up later. It is one of the phone that Obi recommended: http://www.obihai.com/recommended
Hope this works. :)

Obi 202 Telephone Lines (No LED Lighting) Dead also 7-18-2018
Attempted to post to the forum but received "Couldn't get mail server response codes."when I attempted to post...
Google Voice set up 6/8/13 4:51 PM 5 years ago-- purchased Obi 110 shortly thereafter.
It's not the telephone itself-- that's fine. I am using the same Panasonic Link2Cell I've been using for a few years. Same brand I used with my Obi-110 for 5+ years. I purchased the Obi202 for me on May 12th of this year(and Obi200 for my son in 2017).
The telephone cord is working. I plugged that into my LANDLINE's jack and it's fine. I found the support telephone # and called; left a message--however, pretty confused as to what I have in terms of a warranty for an item that stopped functioning after 2 months...
