I did the Oleg Method on my Obi202/GoogleVoice/SimonTelephonics SP1 line and it seems to have eliminated the 100/1000/1001 calls in the middle of the night. Oleg, wherever you are, my wife says thanks! However, I am still being deluged with calls in the middle of the afternoon that the caller id identifies as "Private Caller." They seem to come 12-15 at a time over a period of about 30 min. I went into GoogleVoice and checked the box to "block anonymous calls," but that doesn't seem to have changed anything. These calls don't show up in my GoogleVoice call history and the fact that each call can ring my phone 20+ times without going to voice mail makes me think they bypassing GoogleVoice altogether. I checked the SimonTelephonics website and the problem isn't addressed there and the ST forum is closed. Thoughts on how to stop these troublesome Private-Caller calls?
Do they show up in the Status-> Call History in the web access of your OBi? If they are coming in on a different SP, disable (method 0) the unused SPis. If they are coming in on the SP used for GV, that will be interesting.

I have never been able to find Call History. I just checked the Dashboard and went into Expert Configuration, and I didn't find it in either place. Where am I not looking?

To check the call history log:
1. If you do not know the IP address of your OBi, find IP address:
from your phone dial ***1 and listen for the IP address. Write it
down.
2. Enable web access from the WAN for your OBi:
Let a comma represent a pause.
dial ***0,30#, 1, 1
Your OBi should read your current IP number to you. It is often
192.168.__.__ or 10.0.__/.___ where __ represents some numbers. Write
that down.
3. Enter the IP address that you wrote down into the address box on your
browser. If you don't know what a browser is, that means Internet Explorer,
Chrome or Safari. It could also mean Firefox, etc.
Be prepared to enter the password for your OBi. The username is admin.
4. On the left, click Status -> Call History.

Sweet -- there is a bunch of cool stuff in there! Thanks for the tutorial.

So, the "Private Caller" calls are showing up on the call history for SP1 -- which uses the SimonTelephonics/GoogleVoice setup (with ST providing caller ID name). So I don't know if these "Private Caller" calls are getting in through GV or ST. I think I read on here that SIP scanners can't get in through GV because of how GV works, which, if that's the case, would only leave the ST path. When I did the Oleg setup, the AuthUserName I put in the InboundCallRoute string was "GVxxxxxxxxxx" where the x's are my GV number. When I look in Expert Configuration, I don't see any AuthUserName associated with the ST part of the setup. Does this help or just muddy the water?

I don't know how this Simon Telephonics + Obi should be cured. I found http://tech.iprock.com/?p=6592 which explains the hookup somewhat. I don't know if the sip scanner hits the OBi or the Simon Telephonics (ST) unit. If its the ST unit, then the cure would have to be applied to that ST unit.
Maybe on of the other methods such as method 2 or 3 (port number or IP number) would work for you. If not, I would give up on CNAME until there was a solution.
I hope somebody else knows the cure for you.
