Set up Obi100 but phone won't ring
SteveInWA:
You can also experiment with increasing the ring voltage say 5 volts at a time, and also try switching from sinusoidal to trapezoidal wave pattern. See my screenshot of the PHONE port page:

I tried hooking up a different phone to my Obi100 and also didn't ring. I have a second line that is also connected to an Obi100 and it rang when connected to it. So, I know it is definitely not the phone. Something is wrong with the Obi100/GV.

I maxed out the ring voltage (at 82) and changed the wave pattern to trapezoidal (separately and together) and it didn't do anything.
This is very perplexing.
I have another Obi100 that I don't use (I have a total of three). I'm thinking of trying it and seeing what happens.

Would you please explain that in more detail? What, exactly do you mean? Do you have another OBi 100 device that is configured to use the same Google Voice account? If so, only one of the two boxes will ring (working as designed), since the 100 series only supports one GV connection at a time (without using "forking").
If you have two OBi 100s, I'd suggest setting them up exactly the same way. Unplug one of them from power. Plug your phone into the other one and power-cycle it. Does it work? Swap boxes and retry. Does it work? This will isolate the problem to the hardware or to your configuration.
Oh, and you DO have the Google Chat forwarding "phone" destination added and check-marked on this page, right?

AND, don't forget, expiring tonight, you can get a new OBi 200 for $29.99
