I have a weird internet service that keeps resetting itself periodically.
Discussing the reasons why or why I did not change the provider by now is beyond the scope of my question.
I use my OBI110 with a paid phone service, Phone Power. By using an unsupported (by them) device, the user is limited to 4 registrations. Because my internet resets frequently during the day, my OBI does not get registered if 4 registrations have been made within the hour. As such, I am getting a denied service, Register Failed: 403 Forbidden, error message.
My questions are (off topic?) :
1. what does registration in this context mean?
2. how is it accomplished, ie., what parameters are requested by the server to register a device, the MAC, serial number, the IP address?
3. With every reset, the IP address does not change as it is static - why is my device registered as new each time my internet connection is reset?
4. What can be done (except for changing the ISP) to prevent OBi110 to be registered as new device each time the internet connection is restarted?
