UPDATE: I apologize, but about 15 minutes after I posted the long message below, it now seems my problem has resolved inexplicably, though I am sure the fix wasn't due to anything I did! (but then again, neither was the problem to begin with)..
Hello,
I am not new to the world of OBI, but today I joined the forum and this is my first post, so please be gentle.
I apologize for the length of this post, but I get the feeling reading the above, that providing you guys with specific details is important for you to help me (and hopefully other users too). So...
This morning at 8:37 a.m, Line 1 of my 2 line cordless phone system (line 1 is set-up on SP1) rang and the phone display said "9001". I answered and there was no one there. I hung up. 1 minute later the same thing happened. It continued every minute for about 5 minutes, and then it started again but this time my phone "ID" display said "4001", and then it too repeated the cycle just as it had with the "9001" calls. This pattern then continued with "7000", "6000", "5000", and "4000". NOTE: When I just let it ring and don't answer it, it rings about 7 times and then stops, before the next call comes in about a minute later.
I am located in Florida. I have an OBI 202, which has always worked just fine, but this morning I too have been experiencing the exact same phenomenon as the original poster. Oddly, this is only happening on LINE 1 of a 2-line cordless phone system, whose line 1 is plugged into the OBI's "PHONE 1" port, and whose line 2 is plugged into the OBI's "PHONE 2" port. FYI - I use 2 different GV numbers under 2 different GV accounts - one on SP1 (phone 1 port) and the other on SP2 (phone 2 port). I use SP3 for Anveo 911 service only, and SP4 is unused. My OBI 202 is hard wired via Ethernet cable directly to my gateway/modem/router.
The OBI 202 is the ONLY VOIP equipment I own and I have no other phone providers or services. The OBI 202's current software version is 3.2.2 (Build: 5859EX).
I am a "residential" user. My ISP provider is AT&T with Fiber Optic Plan 100 (mbps), with plenty of speed and bandwidth. My router/modem/gateway provided by AT&T/U-VERSE is a PACE 5268AC. I have done NOTHING NEW. The OBI is several years old. The AT&T gateway is at least 3 years old. The cordless phone system is at least 6 years old. NO NEW EQUIPMENT. NO CHANGES MADE. I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTED TO GOOGLE VOICE FOR A LONG TIME WITHOUT INCIDENT.
This morning while this was going on, I logged into my Google Voice accounts thinking I naively thought I would "block" these numbers. However, I discovered these calls were not coming via GV! There was NO record of any calls or messages. NEVERTHELESS, JUST TO BE SURE, FROM MY OBI DASHBOARD, I DELETED THE GV ACCOUNT ON SP1. THE CALLS CONTINUED! Clearly, this is NOT a GV related issue.
THEN I PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED LINE 1 OF THE CORDLESS PHONE SYSTEM FROM MY OBI 202's "PHONE 1" port, while leaving line 2 plugged into the OBI "PHONE 2" port. Thankfully, that stopped my having to listen to these calls ringing line 1 every minute, and I could continue to use Line 2 as normal.
Although I have gone into the OBI EXPERT section before, just to look around for fun and to learn, I never change the settings and leave them just as they have been automatically configured. So, this morning, after having deleted and disconnected as described above, with no success, I then went into the OBI EXPERT section to see if anything looked unusual, but instead of being able to view pages I've visited there in the past, many (not all) of them just displayed this error message: 404 Not Found / openresty/ 1.9.7.4. , instead of displaying the pages I has viewed in the past.
I have tried repowering/cycling my OBI several times, but the problem continues. For over 3 hours I left my phone system base disconnected from the OBI LINE 1 port. Now, here it is at 2:15 p.m, and I just reconnected to see if the problem was solved, but frustratingly, within a minute of plugging my cordless phone base Line 1 back into the Obi "PHONE 1" port the calls just continued, and in case it has any significance, on this most recent call the "ID" in the phone display reads "20001". I have disconnected my phone system from OBI PHONE 1 input again, just to keep me from going crazy!
I hope the above helps shed some specific light on the problem and helps to diagnose the issue. It's too much of a coincidence that the original poster and I experienced the same problem on the same day, and the only thing (I believe) we have in common is our OBI devices. Therefore, I suspect that there are likely many other OBI users out there experiencing the same problem, who have not yet posted here.
All feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
