Unable to add device OBi 200
randy129:
Any guidance relative to finding success during a different/better time of day?
I see from the https://status.obitalk.com/ page that there is an upgrade planned but it's not clear that it will improve the configuration portal issues.

Hi PDMS-SP Users,
PDMS-SP services will be upgraded to improve performance. During this time, the service may be slightly interrupted. Thank you for your patience.
MrChiGuy:
It took me at least 10 tries over a few days before the connection finally worked. I had to wait almost the full timeout period before the final attempt worked. Calling the test number more than once during the timeout period after hearing the message that the code has been sent to the server will make no difference. If it does not work within the timeout, you have to start over with a new code each time. I opened up the recommended ports on my firewall and set my DNS address to 4.2.2.2, but I suspect none of that actually contributed to it working, based on other posts I have seen here. Apparently persistence pays, but it is pretty ridiculous that it does not work the first time every time. Maybe the alleged system upgrade that was posted by another person will help. I have connected to Google Voice and tested sending and receiving FAXes using an analog FAX machine, which was my reason for purchasing the OBi200, and it is working.

Couldn't be happier to see a system maintenance notice.... :-)

...and now that the maintenance is complete I was able to add my OBi200... !!
hi11e1:
I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO CONGRATULATE YOU BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT TO WORK!!
In the middle of replying I happened to go back to the Add Device page and saw that it FINALLY worked!
After LITERALLY OVER A HUNDRED attempts.
The only difference between the last attempt and all prior attempts was that I registered for this forum--which I HIGHLY DOUBT would have made the difference.
Weird.
