Power Light is Red. Factory Reset does not work...
DVogel:
I tried to look up my OBi on my network map (via the router admin page) and see nothing. On the OBi dashboard, the device comes up as offline, so maybe your idea that it was an AC line transient might be true. The device rang on Sunday morning at around 8am...on the second ring, it basically stopped in the middle of the ring cycle. That was what triggered my investigation.
The OBi unit is plugged into a surge suppressor power strip and none of my other components (laptop, router, printer) experienced any issues or reboots. Also, at that time, there were no brownouts or loss of power in the home.
Anyway, tech support has reached out...so let's see what they say.

DVogel, my original comment was meant for zoym but I will comment on the Obi110. The Obi110 uses integrated circuits (IC) from Silicon Labs, at least as of a year ago when I looked at the inside of an Obi. The ICs do everything that allows the line and phone side to operate. ATAs used to use a transformer to isolate the electronics from the line. This gave it a significant amount of immunity from transients. With the use of the IC in the Obi, the use of a transformer is not necessary but the immunity isn't as good.
This doesn't mean this is your issue. The subject of the effects of transients in electronics is complex so I present this as only one possibility. Putting transient protection on the Line in and phone out will reduce the possibility of a transient from damaging the Obi. (BTW, phone out transient protection would only be used if you use the house wiring.)

We are not sure yet that zoym has actually reset his 110.
