Firmware update for 20x series
Webslinger:
To clarify, those that don't have an Obihai 2XX series ATA under warranty or those who have not paid $10 for extended support and are using 3.1.1 (Build: 5804) firmware, which is newer than 3.2.1 (Build: 5757EX), upon dialing ***6,1 are being pushed 3.2.1 (Build: 5757EX). 3.1.1 is a smaller value than 3.2.1, despite 3.1.1 (Build: 5804) being newer than 3.2.1 (Build: 5757EX). I believe the update notification is simply based on 3.1.1 (Build: 5804) having a lower value than 3.2.1 (Build: 5757EX).
Also, we all know http://fw.obihai.com/OBi202-3-2-1-5794EX.fw is available and is newer than 3.2.1 (Build: 5757EX) for those that use OBiExtras. Those that haven't paid $10 or have a device that's out of warranty probably are not being offered http://fw.obihai.com/OBi202-3-2-1-5794EX.fw. That's expected.
So, to rephrase my previous question, why wasn't 3.1.1 (Build: 5804) named 3.2.1 (Build: 5804) instead?
I don't believe newer firmware supporting a non-XMPP version of Google Voice is being offered via Obitalk.com yet.
SteveInWA:
Why try to decipher some sort of logic behind their version numbers? Who knows.
All I can tell you is that the version that supports the new Google Voice service, as of right this minute is:
3.2.2 (Build: 5829EX)
I didn't write down what the beta version was, but I believe it started with 3.2.1.
As of today, I do not know what else, other than the firmware update, may be required, so my disclaimer is: I would not suggest trying to find that version on their firmware server and install it manually, because I don't know what would happen. I'd wait until it is pushed to you, or until Polycom provides some direction. And, I do not believe that in-warranty vs. out-of-warranty status will matter. Given that Google Voice will not work without the new firmware, I believe they will make it available to everyone.

That's what I think as well.
Do you have any idea whether users will need to re-provision their existing Google Voice accounts at Obitalk.com?
SteveInWA:
That is a good question. My hunch is that, if a device is currently registered on the OBiTALK portal, and you have not disabled OBiTALK provisioning, they may be able to do it for you automatically. I would not expect devices that have been removed from the portal to work.
I believe my 200 and 202 simply worked after they pushed the firmware to them. I expect that Polycom will be making some sort of announcement very soon, with more details.
These are just my educated guesses, based on what I know from beta testing, and what I know about how Google Voice works.
dircom:
I have a 202 and two 200's that have 5794EX.
I connected one OBi 200 last week, and it has:
HardwareVersion 1.4
SoftwareVersion 3.2.2 (Build: 5829EX)
Can't be heard when called.
I changed the DNS from default (whatever that was) to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
I hope that helps
