What does the EX actually mean in the firmware version?
OBiExtras feature appears to require firmware versions that end in EX.
Firmware versions ending with EX add two additional fields under:
System Status > Product Information >
PhoneBookEntries 0 Unique Name/Number Pairs
OBiExtras Locked -OR- UnLocked
I added OBiExtras to one of my OBi202's. I could not import
Google Contacts until I installed 3.1.1 (Build: 5463EX).
I recently upgraded to firmware version: 3.1.1 (Build: 5679EX).
If you upgrade to a firmware versions ending with EX, and you
have NOT purchased OBiExtras, you will see:
System Status > Product Information >
PhoneBookEntries 0 Unique Name/Number Pairs
OBiExtras Locked
After adding OBiExtras and "importing Google Contacts" you see:
System Status > Product Information >
PhoneBookEntries 125 Unique Name/Number Pairs
OBiExtras UnLocked

I just connected a "New" out of the box OBI202 that I purchased about 3 years ago on sale to eventually replace an OBI100 that appears to have finally died this afternoon. I found it had a Red/Green Flashing Light on it and it was just stuck there. I had automatic firmware updates disabled, and it was on a UPS Battery Backup all these years, but yet it appeared to be hosed, no dialtone. Power Cycling the OBI100 box only gave me a solid Red light, so I tossed it aside and installed this new OBI202.
It came right up normally, so i removed the OBI100 from my Google Voice account and added the OBI202 back in it's place. Everything seems to work just fine.
I also disabled automatic software updates for the OBI202 unit because I don't want it updating unattended as I live in Florida and we have lots of afternoon storms around here that could interrupt the internet at any time. I keep my routers, OBI, Switches and PC's all on UPS Battery Backup Units all the time and typically they keep running without issues.
I just checked the firmware version on the Obi202, and it evidently automatically installed Version 3.1.1 (Build: 5695EX) Firmware the instant I connected it to the Internet. I had manually updated it last year and put it away again as I like to keep a hot spare available. Last year when I updated it, I wrote down that I had installed FW 3.1.0 (5264) on July 9, 2016 before putting it back on the shelf as a spare unit.
Anyway, the Firmware 3.1.1 (Build: 5695EX) appears to be installed on it now, and its newer than anything I can find on the Forum or the download sites. Hopefully it will continue to work without issues.
