Firmware update for 20x series

What if anything needs to be done to trigger the firmware update? I had previously disabled firmware updates on my Obi200 after manually updating to v5804. After reading the changes here that GV is making to VOIP, I re-enabled "Auto Firmware Update" and "ObiTalk Provisioning" and set method to "Periodic" for both. Note, I still have ITSP Provisioning set to "Disabled". Not sure if that needs to be enabled.
After applying the setting changes, the device rebooted and the firmware was updated, but it went backwards from v5804 to v5757EX. Can someone help me understand why it would have gone backwards? Also, in the GV migration, which comes first, the firmware update or the GV change to Legacy Chat setting?
Thanks in advance for your help
I have seen the "automatic firmware DOWNgrade" behavior before. >:( I can only guess at their bizarre firmware update rules. I suspect that certain major builds are pushed automatically, vs. some of the builds with relatively insignificant changes (only impacting one function used by some service provider) are not flagged for auto-update.
In any case, your device should receive the new Google Voice firmware soon -- there isn't any way to trigger it manually. I'd suggest setting OBiTALK provisioning and auto firmware update to "periodically".
The first time a device with the new firmware connects to Google's network, it will automatically upgrade the service on the Google Voice side.

Also note: if both ends of the call are pure VoIP, not going through the PSTN, and both endpoints support it, then the calls will be in wideband audio (Opus CODEC), with superb call quality.
Examples, assuming both endpoints have OBiTALK IP phones: ...
Since this thread is about the Obi 2xx and not the IP phones, I am curious whether the Obi 2xx are getting the Opus codec or will continue to have the limited list in the data sheet (http://www.obihai.com/docs/OBi202DS.pdf) - G.711u/a, G.726, G.729a, and iLBC (which was basically obsolete right out of the gate and is superseded by Opus).

Bottom line, I don't know if they will add Opus to the ATAs or not, but it doesn't do much for analog telephone endpoints.

I just did a manual reboot. I was on the earlier version of the GV firmware, but clicking the "Reboot" button on the LAN GUI prompted an update to the newest firmware.
Played around with the console to see what, if anything, changed, and I noticed that "Google Voice" is (now?) an option for the SP3 and SP4 slots. Are we able to associate the Obi200 with more than two GV accounts? IIRC, there was a restriction in the past, but it's been a long, long time since I set up my Obi.

The OBi 200 has always supported four separate Google Voice SPx configurations. You're probably confused by the fact that the 100 series only had two SPs.

I agree, the wideband aspect of Opus is not useful for analog phones, but Opus does variable sampling and bitrates.
Anyway, what I mostly wanted to know was whether it was being added as part of this particular firmware rollout, which I now know. Thanks.
