How to enter IP address on phone menu? -- Solved

(1/3) > >>

newbobr4:
I want to setup my new Obi110 with static routes as I have no dhcp.
First, I found out I can't enter in the IP address using the phone menu unless the ethernet cable is unplugged. This is undocumented, and very sneaky.
Second, How would I enter the IP address 148.163.1.33 into the phone menu??? Their is no period or decimal point on my phone keypad. If I try to enter in leading zeroes to pad out the address - like 148163001033 this is considered an invalid value.
Is there a certain keyboard map you are supposed to use to enter in the values into the phone menu?
What value do I enter to set the Obi110 to static addressing instead of  dhcp? I assume I enter static, but it only offers dhcp as a value in the voice menu.

MichiganTelephone:
Did you try turning off DHCP first?  I would think that would allow you to enter an IP address from the phone.

Also, typically the * key is used to represent the decimal point.

Thanks MichiganTelephone, that allowed me to enter the static IP address, using the voice menu. It also automatically turns off dhcp when you enter your own IP address.
Then I just had to change the gateway, DNS server, and netmask using the voice menu. After that I was able to register my Obi110 device on the internet.

Hopefully, someone from Obitalk will add two items to the Administrators Manual.
Use the "*" key for the periods of dots in IP addresses using the phone menu. Unplug the ethernet cable before trying to set the static IP address (for initial setup only, I assume).

In my router the DHCP was enabled and I connected the Obi110 to one of the router port. The Obi110 did not get an IP Address. Hence I disabled the DHCP in the router and created a static IP Address. I entered this IP address in the voice menu of OBi110. I am not able to access the device from the browser using the IP Address.

When I press the ***1 the OBi110 tells me the IP Address. If I press  **3 it says DHCP disabled. How do I enter the gateway, DNS server, and netmask using the voice menu ? My Obi110 is not getting an IP Address. If I enter one it is not accessible. Please help.

RonR:
You don't need to disable DHCP in your router in order to use a static IP address on a device connected to the router.  You should choose static IP addresses which are outside the DHCP pool range to avoid possible conflicts, but static and dynamic IP assignment can be used together.

Telephone-IVR-Based Local Configuration is described in the OBi Device Administration Guide (OBiDeviceAdminGuide.pdf) starting on page 17.

You first said "When I press the ***1 the OBi110 tells me the IP Address."  Then you said "My Obi110 is not getting an IP Address. If I enter one it is not accessible."  Those statements seem to conflict with one-another.

I would highly recommend you re-enable DHCP in the router and try to let the OBi use it.  That's by far the easiest arrangement and works in virtually all circumstances.

Could the ethernet port you're using on your router be bad?  Do other devices work properly connected to that same port?
