How to give Obi100 Static IP?

(1/4) > >>

richheimlich:
I just bought an Obi100 as a first step towards trying to save my decade-old service with a SIP providers whose features I love but whose reliance on the Linksys PAP2T was driving me to drink. I would be playing a lottery on callers being able to hear me when they call in and everyone would hear DTMF tones. This across three different ISP's, four different modems and three different top-shelf routers.

I figured I'd give this a shot before going entirely in a different direction. I'm set up and working but I am used to the PAP2T. Seems nothing is on the device itself and everything is done through this web interface (a bit scary as that means if they go down, so does my device I assume).

Anyway, I don't see any place to force an IP address for this device. Do I have to do it via my router?

If the web setup goes down, your OBi continues to work. In fact, you could set up the OBi with just the local interface and disable remote. But the OBiTalk remote setup is easier.

Static IP and mask can be set by the keys on the connected phone ***4-1. You can also set that up via the WAN settings on the web interface. I expect that could be confusing when you first make the change via the web page, because the IP you were just using is no longer available. But I expect it all gets sorted.

http://www.obihai.com/OBiDeviceAdminGuide has a lot of info. One tip is to search for * * * rather than *** when viewing that document.

This is how I defined a static address:
System Management -> Network Setting
AddressingType: Static
IPAddress: 192.168.1.100
SubnetMask: 255.255.255.0
DefaultGateway: 192.168.1.1
DNSServer1: 192.168.1.1

If you configure your OBi via the web interface check:
System Management => Auto Provisioning

Under OBiTalk Provisioning:
Method must be Disabled.

Thanks guys! Great info. So far I'm really glad I bought this.

The first DHCP address it got was 192.168.1.160. If I go to that IP I get hit with a login prompt that says:

"The Server says: admin@OBi100"

What username and password is this looking for? I tried my account username and password with no luck.

I also tried using the phone to assign the static IP. I hit ***, then 4, then 1 and the voice prompted me to "Enter IP address, then pound." Great! So I entered "192168135#" (for example) and it continually tells me that's invalid no matter what number I put in.

azrobert: Where did you put those settings in? Not sure where "System Management" is. No such thing I see in Win7 or in the web interface.

Defaults are 'admin'.
