OBi Expert Configuration (Introduction)
QBZappy:
This might have already been noticed. I'm seeing what seems to be some corrupt values in the Expert configuration page as compared to my OBi110 unit in both of these places:
Service Providers->ITSP Profile A/B->SIP
Service Providers->ITSP Profile A/B->RTP
DSCPMark=0x68 (Expert) ??
DSCPMark="XX" digit (OBi unit)
DaveSin:
I can also confirm the same here. However, my DSCPMark value is different for the SIP and RTP...one is 2 digit number and the other a 3 digit number, which is different that what is shown on the corresponding OBiTALK web page. I'm not getting the corrupted values reported elsewhere.

@Dale: Since you asked so nicely, ;) the following status items have been added to the OBiTALK expert web pages:
Status
System Status
Call Status
Last 10 Calls
SP1 & SP2 Stats
PHONE & LINE Status
To see this information, your device will need to be up-to-date with 1.3 software.
This is great thank you. I can now see those items which is a step forward.
1) I think I see a potential (copy and paste) bug. The gateway value is also showing in the DNS 1 field. Is that correct? (my direct access is empty for DNSServer1 and DNSServer2 but the ObiExpert Ui shows my gateway value there...
2) The ability to set these values via ObiExpert is desirable. (Read/write)

On overwriting items, the OBi Expert configuration will be used when both the OBiTALK and Default settings check boxes are left UN-checked.
yes that is clear.

Parameters set by direct web access to the device's IP address (***1) will be overwritten by the OBi Expert setting if that parameter's OBi Expert setting has the OBiTALK and Default settings check boxes are left UN-checked.
yes, I think that is stating the same thing. OK so far...
But, take the "AddressingType" setting for example... in the direct access UI there are two choices:
Static
DHCP
For this parameter, there is nowhere in the ObiExpert UI that I have found where this choice can be made. It now displays the value, but no change can be made.
This parameter can thus only be set via direct access. So the question was: Can you confirm that using ObiExpert will not overwrite this parameter? (This seems to be the case, and is logical.) For example, after setting my devices to use Statiic IP addresses and then enabling ObiTalk Auto Provisioning to 'Periodicically'. I see that the "AddressingType" setting survives and is not overwritten by ObiExpert.
If this is the case it would be nice to see a list of items that are read only in ObiExpert and require direct access to be modified.

This is why it is a good idea to back up your device's configuration (System Management -> Device Update -> Backup Configuration) and then import the config. to the device using the OBi Expert Import function.
Are you implying that importing the config backup from the direct access into the ObiExpert area, that the "AddressingType" parameter would then be imported into ObiExpert (even though there is no UI for changing it)?
Since the current behavior seems to indicate that those items absent from ObiExpert do not get overwritten, what would importing the config achieve?
ShermanObi:
You are correct that the parameter value will not be overwritten by the OBi Expert configuration if it is not in the OBi Expert configuration pages as a value that can be controlled with an OBi Expert configuration, i.e. the OBiTALK and the Default Settings check boxes are unchecked.
If you have previously configured items on the device's local web interface and, as you have pointed out, these parameters can be controlled by OBi Expert, then importing them will ensure that the OBi Expert configuration gets updated to what the local configuration is at the time you 'switch' to using OBi Expert.
However, if your local configuration has only parameter settings that are not controlled by OBi Expert, then you are correct that importing this config will have no affect of the OBi Expert configuration for that device.
We will look into posting a list of parameters that are not currently controllable by OBi Expert.
