Using VG to connect two OBis (to give dial tone at distant end)
Millennium:
Thanks Ian
I have done as you said but I'm still only seeing "SP2 (Optional) Not Configured" on the Device Configuration page. I don't have anything set up on SP1 so its; saying "SP1 Not Configured"
Not sure what the SP2 (optional) means?
From the SP Service page I have:
SIP Credentials
AuthUserName 44
Password blank
Obi/default check boxes unticked for AuthUserName
Obi default for password/URI
Enable Obi/default unchecked with the option ticked for enabled.
I am using Obitalk, not talking to the device via its build in webserver (not that it should make any difference!

Hmmm - bit of a mystery! I have the "optional" word as well. Nobody has ever explained that one, but it seems harmless! Anyhow, "Not Configured" is bad news as the OBi will not use SP2 as it is.
Try logging into the OBi directly and seeing if all the settings we have spoken about agree with the ones shown via the OBi portal. I have known them to get out of synch. Include checking the 127.0.0.1.
If they are out of synch, then uncheck the only box next to that setting and change to the same as portal shows and submit then hit reboot button at top of page. I know we should only use one method to change configurations, but I have found simply putting them back in synch this way does work.
Millennium:
Will do!
I won't be home til later so can't check til then. Thanks again for your help.
If it comes to it I'll do a factory reset. I am in France this weekend so I can have a play!

Mr Ianobi (or should that be Sir?)
I logged onto both devices and checked the SP2 status. It appears that the status is shown differently on the Obi portal to the Obi device web servers! They were both showing Registration not Required but Obitalk is still showing not configured!
Anyway, parents have just left, I dialled hash (sorry, Mac keyboard, no hash on keyboard) and the fax number of my bank in France, I got one UK style ring (UK end is set up with UK patterns - I could manage that), followed by a fax tone!! So it all works. I have set up the same from the other end so I'll test it out at the weekend to get UK dial tone. Although of course, Senior Management will want me in the garden!
Next step, configure French end to allow dialling to short codes 3000 - automated customer service, 3131- like UK 1471, and 3651 - 141 etc., and international options, set UK end for similar.
I will then gather all the information and post it in a new thread to help others!
For any lurkers, if you set up a VPN from France I found that the French don't accept the strongest VPN encryption over the tunnel. I found that AES-SHA1 works.
Thanks again for your assistance. But watch this space, I may be back!!

Sounds like mostly good news! I don't think there is much chance of me being knighted, unless it is for services to the beer industry :)
I am curious as to what actually worked - the original config, my possible method 1 or my possible method 2?
I will be interested to see the final configuration of the two OBis and maybe the vpn config (I don't know much about vpn type stuff). It also helps others who may set up something similar. This forum helps a lot more people than you might think!
I'm off now for a beer. Have a good weekend in France. Do report back - I think some fine tuning may be necessary, but then it always is!
