No offense, but I finally have it working and I do not want to be your Guinea Pig.
You got me! If you could though, let us know how the bridge setup is working out for you. For example, did it caused any changes to the quality of the calls (e.g., diminish call quality), etc.
Dravial:
I noticed no degradation in call quality at all, it is my understanding QoS in still in effect for calls - now please note I did not max out my bandwidth while on a call, so a better test may be in order.
With that said, the LAN port on the OBi202 dies again, the computer on the other end is not seeing the network or getting internet again... It simply reports connecting/not connected continuously over and over repeating about every 2-3 seconds...
UPDATE: I power cycled both the router and the OBi, and now it is working again - The computer on OBi's LAN port can see both internet and network... Let's see how long it lasts this time...
LTN1:
Dravial...strange that your LAN port on the 202 keeps on doing that. I hope you don't have a defective unit.
Just want to also update you on how I actually configured my OBi202 to bridge mode. Since I wanted to continue to configure my OBi through the OBiTalk portal, I didn't undo the auto-configuration. I then used a phone connected to the 202 to enter the following programming codes (that I previously described): ***0, 31#, 1,1#,1
After entering the codes, the 202 automatically rebooted. After the reboot, I plugged in one of the ethernet connections (a PBX and hybrid ATA system) I had to my modem/router into the 202 LAN port and it immediately recognized the device--in fact the IP address for the device had not changed. It was as though I unplugged the device from one of the router ethernet ports and insert into another ethernet port on the same router. So now in bridge mode, the 202 LAN appears to be functioning as an extra ethernet port on the same network.
I then power cycled everything just to make sure when it started again, the 202 would not revert to the original configuration--and it didn't. The OBiTalk portal continues to stay connected. Testing of the VoIP phone did not show any different voice quality than before.
The initial process to program the code to bridging mode and automatic reboot was no more than 1 minute (everything thereafter was just me testing). I just wanted to follow up this with you in the event you ever want to go back to the OBiTalk portal instead of the web portal.
Dravial:
Thanks for the update. I think if it was defective, it wouldn't be working at all. I did not disconnect everything and reconnect after changing modes as you stated, and this could have caused an issue. If that is the case, after power cycling everything this morning, I 'should' have no more problems. It may be a case of getting frustrated and not following proper protocol/procedure on my end. I will keep you updated in either event in case this information can help someone else.
UPDATE: Something is definitely not right with OBi... After the computer on OBi's LAN port goes to 'sleep' for a while, and is woken up, it can no longer communicate on the LAN port - the LAN light on OBi goes dark, and the computer reports connecting/not connected continuously over and over repeating about every 2-3 seconds...
And when the computer goes back to sleep, the data port on the OBi lights back up and acts as though everything is fine again, that is, until I walk over and strike a mouse button on the sleeping computer, then the LAN light instantly goes dim and the computer wakes up...
When I initially power cycled the devices this morning, let the PC go to sleep for a few minutes and woke it up, and everything was fine. But after being gone all day and coming back 10-12 hours later, it is broken again...
Is there any help for this issue?
LTN1, does your computer go into sleep mode and perform properly when woken up? (Never-mind, I re-read and see you connected another ATA device into it, so I doubt it will act in the same manner).
OTHER THOUGHTS: Overnight last night they upgraded my internet service. In the process I did receive a new ip address, this could have screwed everything up again? I power cycled the OBi and Router and will check again later and see if the LAN port fails again...
This is why I drink so much bourbon...
N7AS:
Did you ever try to set a Static IP on the OBi202? If you are using the OBiTalk Dashboard, this can be done through the Expert Configuration.
