Using Second OBi100 At Second Home
Ismellelephant:
New to this and still trying to learn as much as I can. Can I configure a second OBi100 at a second home to use the same telephone number at my primary residence? I have an OBi100 at my primary residence as well, would it be as simple as making both Obi100's have the same IP address? Thanks for any info.

What service provider are you using?

Vestalink. So far they seem ok, just a bit of delay. thanks.

It might be as simple as putting the same Vestalink config details into both OBis. Some SPs have no problem with multiple devices registered to the same account. But i don't know if that is the case for Vestalink.
Having the same IP address is definitely not the way to achieve this. Publicly routeable IP addresses must be unique. You can give the two OBis the same private IP address on your two LANs but that won't achieve anything. For example, I expect many millions of home PCs have the 192.168.1.2 address.

Thanks drgeoff for the info, I'll look into whats involved in putting the same Vestalink config details into both OBis. Vestalink said I would have to open a second account and I have no problem with that but I really want to use one number to ring both places.
