Why the long delay before an incoming landline call rings the OBI110 phone port?
chetstone:
I have one phone hooked up directly to my landline. It starts ringing immediately when a call comes in. After 2-3 rings the phone attached to my OBI starts ringing. I've verified that it's not a problem with the phone attached to the OBI by hooking both phones up directly to the landline. They both ring at the same time.

OK, I found the RingDelay parameter which was set to 4000. Setting it to 0 solved the problem.
Stewart:
The delay is there, so the OBi can learn the caller ID and propagate it to the connected phone. Setting RingDelay to 0 will lose that feature. Of course, if your landline doesn't have caller ID service, or if you don't care to see the number on the phone attached to the OBi, a value of 0 should be fine.

The phone attached to the phone port seems to display the caller id number fine with a setting of 0.
Can the OBI look up the incoming number in its speed dial list and display the associated text?

For what it's worth, I have AT&T POTS service connected to the OBi110 LINE port. Sometime ago, when I changed the RingDelay from the default 4000 to 2000 it seemed like it worked. That is, until I noticed the OBi call log was missing callerid information on some calls coming in on the LINE port. I increased the RingDelay to 2500 and the OBi call log issues went away. Yup, I still hear the wired phone connected to the AT&T line ring before the cordless connected through the OBi but the delay isn't as annoying at 2500 as it was at 4000. And the call routing on the OBi seems to be working. When it comes to the OBi the word seems seems to come up a lot.
