OBIs are going down then coming back up repeatedly
csmanagement:
Is anyone else having this issue?

1. Please delete the extra copies of your post ASAP.
2. You need to explain what you mean by "going down then coming back up repeatedly".

Geoff,
Yesterday around 11 AM PST, we had a number of our OBi units go down. We believe this was related to a widespread Comcast outage. However, since that time, our OBi units have been fluctuating in communication. For example, the power light on the OBi 200s are solid, will turn off, then come back on for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and lose connection again. I researched that this issue means the OBi is trying to obtain a new DHCP address, but I'm confused as to why it is occurring across the board for so many devices. We have around 60 devices that are experiencing this same issue at different locations with different ISPs as of 11 AM yesterday. Do you think this is related to our VOIP provider or the OBi unit itself? Any insight would be amazing.

Very odd. The power LED is affected by 3 things:
1. Power. (surprise!) If power disappears the LED goes out.
2. Reboot. LED goes red, then out very briefly, may flash green before returning to steady green upon successful network connection.
3. Lack of network connection. Blinking green.
Note that "network connection" means to the LAN. Lack of connection to the WAN or the OBitalk servers does not affect the power LED.
An OBi's status pages will show when it was last rebooted and give the reason code. The codes are detailed on page 56 of https://www.obitalk.com/info/documents/admin_guide/OBiDeviceAdminGuide.pdf

Thanks for the tips! I've uploaded a video of what the units are doing with a butt set for voltage. Not sure if this will help.
