Obi 110 - Remote Host Management & Auto Reboot i.e No-ip or other free DNS
sialkotgv3@gmail.com:
I would like to remotely manage my OBi110 which are located in different countries . If you can provide HOST through different DNS managed systems like NO-IP, FreeDNS etc. so i could diagnose and remotely reset reboot and other modification remotley to the device it would be very help full. Currently i have helpless as due to electricity problem ( In Pakistan specfically) , when electricity fails and comes back the Router and the OBi 110 reboot the same time. Some how the router is fuctioning properly but the OBi 110 gets stuck as the router was not ONline before the Obi 110 is UP. So i have to make a paid call to ask someone at the other end to manaully reboot (Plug On/Off) the Obi 110.
One thing else an added facility there should be a monitoring system in the Obi 110 , that if the internet connection times out or it not ONline ( i am using DSL connections at all the ends of my Obi 110 devices) the OBi 11o must try to reboot ( after some specific time ) until the Internet connection if restored.
If these two option (1) HOST Management through free DNS host management (2) Auto reboot on Internet Problem , timeout. be implemented it will solve many users problems as well as the time is saved

Hi,
Most routers have a built in DDNS client. You can already do what you want by port forwarding the router to the OBi ip. If you go this way consider changing OBi port number to some non-standard port in the

Hi,
I suppose we can use some router DDNS and port forwarding , but my this post was for that if the OBi 110 is not automatically connect to internet after the electricity failure ( in pakistan electricity fails 3 to 4 times in an hour!!!) i have all the UPS and backup generators but it still fails.
So my point is that in third world countries there is electricity as well as DSL/ineternet problems, what i have observed even in USA , that OBI 110 gets stuck up if the router and Obi110 reboots at the same time , because the Obi 110 get UP before the router or DSL connects to the internet/ISP , So there should be a fail safe system that if some internet problem occurs the OBI110 MUST REBOOT ( after lets say every 5 Min ) until the connection is restored.
I want the opinion of the users who are also going through the same problem so we could stress OBI makers to implement atleast the AUTO Reboot feature on the device itself. thanks for your support

Hi,
Yes i got your point , Auto Reboot ( ofcourse its a quick and dirty and overkill job) but it sure will work , untill some other software modicifaction for monitoring Enternet port/Internet could be done and tested.
I would still recommend that a Full AUTO REBOOT fuction on failure should be implemented ASAP.

sialkotgv3,
The DHCP client in the OBi is not very robust and does not conform to specifications. The OBi does reboot under certain network error conditions, but not always at appropriate times.
I would like to argue that rebooting the entire OBi is not necessary to recover from a network error. Instead, the Ethernet hardware, driver, and DHCP client should simply be reinitialized so that any ongoing call on the PHONE and LINE Ports is not interrupted. A total reboot is major overkill in my opinion (it's a quick and easy solution, but not very elegant).
