Obihai logging into Google Hourly
Shale:
I don't know why, but I would guess that it is to maintain reliable operation or to detect a failed connection or to adjust for a GV protocol change. Why is that a problem?
Clive:
You will probably find that this is NAT keep alives being sent. This maintains the connection from the obi through your router as well as telling Google where your obi is to receive the calls.
Without the keep alive signal, the ports would automatically be closed and google wouldn't be able to see the obi.
Shale:
These guys are not seeing a keep-alive packet. They are seeing an automated login recorded by Google.
RFord:
Technically, how do you expect to make calls through your GV account without some form of authentication? That is why you need your gmail account information, including your password when setting up GV on the OBi ATA.
When you sign up for a paid VOIP provider, you need the SIP info (username and password) to enter into your ATA for registration or to make outgoing calls in cases where registration is not required. This also applies to GV.
When you see the word "Connected" on your OBi ATA, what do you think it means? The regular "login" you are seeing is akin to a re-registration every hour or whatever the period is.
