Add Obi Device without a phone handset?

(1/3) > >>

chmedly:
I just bought an Obi202 to add to my collection.  I want to set it up to use the usb hard drive function right away but I don't have a wired phone handset at this location yet.  I wasn't able to reach the device via web browser (using it's ip address) so I'm thinking that maybe it's locked out until you tell it to open up with some touchtones?

Nope. 

MikeHObi:
Web browser is not listening on the Internet port.  You'll need to connect via the LAN port to do configuration.

I did figure out, after a few minutes, that I needed to be on the LAN side of the device (it's a router after all) but didn't try configuring it that way since the above reply seemed to say that it wouldn't matter.  So, in case I got this wrong, I will need a phone to get this device setup, right?

Thanks,

I dunno, I don't use USB, but I seem to be able to get to the USB config page through the local obi web page.
