Connect after DSL Off
Clacey:
I have my Internet equipment on a timer that shuts it down for several hours every night. That does NOT remove power from my Obi200. That used to work fine, but lately the Obi200 does not reconnect. I now have to unplug the Obi200 from power, then when I plug it back it has the red light and goes ahead with the reconnect.
Any idea how to fix this problem?

Now there is a tremendously helpful post. Thanks a lot for the trolling.

If possible, I would rather see you fix the problem that is creating the need for powercycling your equipment every night.
However, your OBi should automatically reconnect once the internet connection is restored. I'd be curious to know if this is an issue with corrupted NAT tables. To see if I am correct, try to change Service Providers >> ITSP Profile X >> SIP >> RegisterRetryInterval to a high number like 300 or even 600. If you used OBiTALK to configure your device, you will need to use OBi Expert Configuration to make the change.
Next time your internet is restored, wait 300 seconds (5 minutes) and see if the device recovers on its own. Let us know if that works.
If it doesn't work, then we need to know the make and model of your router, and the VoIP service provider you use.
I would also be curious to know if your ATA reconnects with a reboot instead of pulling the power plug.

Thanks for your input. I shut all my electric entertainment equipment down at night. Mostly for power saving, but also to allow modem, routers etc to do a cold boot. This has worked fine for me for years. My computer and peripherals are on a 1500 watt UPS. I have a Zyxel Q1000z modem/router on Centurylink 20 meg DSL. This problem is only very recent, no more than a week old. In that time nothing about my setup has been changed.
Before trying your advice I am going to put the Obi200 on the timed power strip with the other peripherals and see if that solves the problem. I don't really know why I left the Obi on 24/7. I guess I thought it might be better for it. But now I see that power cycling causes it to connect. I want to try that first. If that fails, I will attempt your suggestion.
Thanks
