I received my OBi110 a few days ago, the setup was easy and have it all up and running.
The only issue I have noticed is that I'm not getting any callerID info sent to the phone when calls come in to my magicJack number.
I have my magicJack plugged into the line port, with the 110 powered on no callerID info sent to phone on FXO port. If I unplug power from the OBi110 my phone still rings on calls to my mJ number, but still no callerID. If I plug my phone, same phone that I am using with the 110, directly in to my mJ the callerID works. So I think somehow the 110 is not properly sending the callerID info from the FXS port to the FXO port, even when there is no power to the 110.
I have had this problem with both the 1.2.1 build 2102 and 2103. My 110 came with 1.1 but I upgrade it before using it so I do not know if this issue existed with the 1.1 firmware.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

This part doesn't compute. When the OBi is powered off, there is a relay that de-energizes, connecting the PHONE Port jack directly to the LINE Port jack (at least on the red/green line 1 contacts). I just verified this with an ohmmeter to make sure. Consequently, there shouldn't be any difference between plugging your phone directly into the MagicJack versus through the PHONE+LINE Port jacks on the OBi with it powered off.
That's what I gathered from reading this forum, but my testing shows a different results between the phone being plugged in to an unpowered 110 verses the same phone being plugged directly into the magicJack.
Thinking more about it, I remember there was a problem with older magicJacks (mines about 3yrs old) in the past not giving a callerID on some phones and the solution was to add a 100ohm resistor. Maybe there is some minor electrical difference when going through the un-powered 110 that might cause a need to add the resistor? I might try that tomorrow to see if I get a different result.
