@ Stooba:
A capable router can be pressed into PBX duty.
ProfTech:
You mention Power Fallback to the analog line. It is reported in this forum that the latest release of 110 hardware does not include the fallback feature. So at a minimum you would need battery back up for the Obi. Not sure how all of this might affect your end configuration.
stooba:
Oh no, is it true that they removed the power fallback (PHONE to PSTN) feature? BOOO! That was one of my biggest reasons for buying these devices!!! I understand the need for continual product improvement, but removing one of the features that distinguished it from other competitive products seems like a strange decision. In the rural area where I intend to use this device, power failures are frequent enough that an internet-based phone system was never practical. I though this would be the device that I could use to help non-tech people switch to VOIP while having an automatic PSTN backup with their internet or power failed.
I just did a search on this forum and found conflicting reports. Does anyone have a definitive and proven answer on this? I'd just go test mine, but I don't have it configured yet.
QBZappy:
stooba,
Nothing to configure. Takes a second to see for yourself. It takes less time than writing this post. Make sure the phone is connected to the phone port and the line port is connected into the OBi. Unplug the OBi from the power outlet. Pick up the phone and listen for dial tone.
What did you get?
