Thanks for the responses. OK, now if successful going through the simonics login and authorization pages, and having the status page show "online" and "registered", will the connection to the gateway remain on, even if you close down your browser or your computer is completely turned off?
Will the connection remain active indefinitely similar to how the Obi would stay connected with the old GV connection?
If the Obi is power cycled and/or the internet connection is broken/turned off, will the Obi automatically sign in to the Simonics gateway upon reconnecting to the internet without opening a browser or any other manual intervention (this is how it worked before with direct GV connection and also SIP to Callcentric)?
I guess I'm just wondering how often the authorization is required, or is it a one-time thing unless you reset the SP.
