Thank you sir (azrobert) for your assistance. I followed your instructions. I did not see the "Mpp." It is my assumption that all is in order though. I will disregard the "Call OBi" button.
I'm trying to follow the OBi Tutorial for Google Chat. What I'm seeing isn't the same as the screen shots. My Google Chat is Hangouts. Does that change anything? Not sure what else to ask right now. Will keep trying to follow the tutorial.
Log in at google.com/voice. In the vertical menu on the left hand side click the three dots (not lines). You will see "Legacy Google Voice". Click on that. Then towards the top right corner click on the cogwheel to open Settings. If the Phones tab is not highlighted click it. If you want incoming calls to reach your OBi you must have 'Google Chat' ticked as one of the forwarding destinations. (OBi devices act as Chat clients.) You can make outgoing GV calls from your OBi irrespective of that being ticked or not.

I did not have it Google Chat ticked, but it is now. I feel like I'm making good progress with your help on the forum. Even though we don't use Google Voice much, and when we do, it's mostly to make outgoing calls, it's fun learning about OBiTALK. Thanks.

You can call your OBi with the Call Button. You can use a speed dial number or the 9 digit OBi number of your device. The OBi number is listed on the dashboard. The speed dial needs to be defined as **9 followed by the OBi number and when entered in the call box must be followed by an asterisk.
I just tried it and it's flakey. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it did work I only had one way audio.
I'm still testing different features of the OBi. Not that it's absolutely necessary for me to use this, I have yet to see it work. The only responses I've seen are "Thanks" and "Calling," but I have no clue as to what to expect if and when it works.

I'm STILL trying to get this to work but with no success. I understand the concept and probably would never use it, but it would be nice to see it work.
