In my case.. no calls work, I don't get any dial tone.. nothing is functioning.. phone does not detect a line at all.
The information you've provided so far is insufficient to even guess at the cause. It could be:
- A defective telephone
- A defective telephone cord
- A configuration error
- An OBi hardware failure
- Martian swamp gas/loss of magic smoke
Unplug all three of the cords from the OBi. Go take your telephone and its cord to some place that has working telephone service and plug in your phone. Does it work? If not, then, as the repairman says, "That's yer problem right there!"
If the phone works, then turn the OBi upside-down on a flat surface. Straighten out a paper clip. Find the small round dimple with a hole in it. This is the reset switch. Gently depress the switch with the paper clip until you feel a soft click. Keep holding it down. With your other hand, plug in only the power cord. Wait at least ten seconds or more, then release the paper clip. Turn the OBi right-side-up and watch. It will reset itself and reboot. Give it plenty of time for this to finish. When it's done, the left-side LED (power) should be on steadily.
Did that work? If so...
Unplug the power cord. Plug in the telephone and Ethernet cords. Finally, plug in the power cord and wait for it to boot up. The left LED should be on solid, with the middle LED flickering (showing LAN activity). Pick up the phone. Do you get a dial tone? If so, dial ***1 to hear the assigned IP address.
