what is "device registration" and how is it accomplished?
Name:
I have a weird internet service that keeps resetting itself periodically.
Discussing the reasons why or why I did not change the provider by now is beyond the scope of my question.
I use my OBI110 with a paid phone service, Phone Power. By using an unsupported (by them) device, the user is limited to 4 registrations. Because my internet resets frequently during the day, my OBI does not get registered if 4 registrations have been made within the hour. As such, I am getting a denied service, Register Failed: 403 Forbidden, error message.
My questions are (off topic?) :
1. what does registration in this context mean?
2. how is it accomplished, ie., what parameters are requested by the server to register a device, the MAC, serial number, the IP address?
3. With every reset, the IP address does not change as it is static - why is my device registered as new each time my internet connection is reset?
4. What can be done (except for changing the ISP) to prevent OBi110 to be registered as new device each time the internet connection is restarted?
Stewart:
The idea behind a SIP registration is to let the server know how to find your device, i.e. where to send an incoming call. The device presents the server with phone number and password. If they match, the server records in a database, the IP address and port that the request came from. The registration typically expires in one hour; shortly before expiration, the device re-registers. Depending on the provider, several devices are permitted to register simultaneously, and incoming calls are sent to all active registrations.

For help with your problem, please post: ISP? Modem make/model? Router make/model? Any special settings in modem or router? Are you sure that your public IP address is not changing? To confirm, visit http://www.whatismyip.com/ before and after a reset, and compare the IP addresses reported.
Name:
I have serious issues with OBI110 and Phone Power.
It appears that Obi110 registeres as new UA the same service, every time the service is turned on/off in Obi.
My IP stayed the same (static IP from ISP), ports are configured and do not change: 12060 for this service.
I use a netopia 2210 modem behind a router Draytek 2930. Obi110 has static IP on LAN.

Name,
Multiple instances (registrations) are for users who want to register multiple devices at the same time. You might want a softphone and an IP phone to make and receive calls. Not all service providers offer this. My Grandstream PBX can register upto 3 times on the same account. There is usually an option to Unregister On Reboot on an ATA. I don't seem to find it on the OBi. Can anyone find it?
Name:
I have only 1 device which apparently registered as multiple UAs - the IP and port remain the same.
There are 4 allowed registrations with phone power after which device cannot register and user is denied service.
