Call from Landline Doesn't ring the phone

<< < (2/2)

Stewart:
It seems like some electrical incompatibility between the devices.

Using a splitter (or extension cord with two jacks), connect the Cobra to both the LINE port of the OBi and a phone.  On an incoming call to the cell phone, does the test phone ring?  With this hookup, does the OBi log a call?

Six months on and I wonder if Ray threw his Cobra into the nearest bin  ::)

I have exactly the same problem and have tried the remedies Stewart suggested. In answer to the last post, a telephone connected in parallel with the OBi rings and answers normally.

By reducing RingDelay to anything under 1200, the OBi will see the incoming call from the Cobra and handle it normally, i.e. ringing the OBi phone port where the call can be answered normally. It seems that if the RingDelay is greater than this and the OBi sees the "off" part of the ringing cycle, then it refuses to process the call even thought the Line Port reports ringing for as long as the call is coming in. The problem with this scenario is that 1200ms is too short to process Caller ID.

I'm confused - not for the first time  ;)

All ideas welcome!
