In the wake of the Sandy/Callcentric fiasco, I am trying to figure out how to get my OBI100 to automatically switch over to Anveo's redundant servers in case of a failure. Something about DNS_SRV, but I can't find anything about it.
First, don't post the same question multiple places on the forums, it just makes extra work for people. ;)
There are two ways to configure your device. How did you do it when you configured it?
One - Via the OBitalk portal, i.e. the website.
Two - Via "expert" mode, i.e. by logging into your OBi by typing in an IP address into your web browser.
What they are saying is if you use their instructions to setup their service, it will switch over automatically.

Sorry, about the double post.
I used the Obitalk portal.
This is what they said. I don't recall seeing an Anveo template with a DNS-SRV option.
11:38:22 Customer Care: if you use OBITALK portal to configure Obi device then you can use Anveo template provided by Obi and it is using DNS_SRV option. with DNS_SRV OBi device will automatically failover to another Anveo server.
If you want you can reply to the other post so we don't get off topic and make things confusing. Thanks.

It's saying that IF you use the Obitalk portal, as you did, that the default setup that OBi has in there when you pick Anveo is using the option to properly rollover to another server if need be.

I read it again right after I posted and realized that's what it said. :-[
Thank you.

just an fyi - anveo does not send your actual caller ID to 911, so your smart911 info (if you have registered there, that is) will not be displayed to 911 operators.. otherwise anveo's E911 is THE cheapest in the market, hands down!
