Search the forums. You should NOT use VoIP with an alarm system.
I know people say not to use VoIP for alarms because its not reliable..power can go out, internet can go out etc. Doesnt really matter to me. I have a battery backup and thats good enough for me.
We will probably get rid of it once the contract is done anyways.

Do you have about 50 volts across the proper terminals at the box?
How do you know that you wired to the proper terminals?
What OBi do you use? The Phone 1 jack on an OBi202 will have special consideration in that both lines are on pairs on that one jack.
If you wiring is right, see http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=5409.0
I think the wiring is right. In the security system box I basically unhooked where the Bell landline was connected and wired the OBi110 directly to that spot. Once I did that all the phone jacks worked. I didnt change any other wiring other then removing the outside live telephone line.
It doesnt give me an error code, but I think the error is that it just isnt seeing the phone line. Maybe its not enough power going through? I'll have to check with a volt meter later, or can it be checked through the OBi settings?
Changing that one setting to InBand didnt seem to work. I unplugged the OBi and the phone line and it still didnt work. When I changed the setting it put a red exclamation mark at DTMFMethod and DigitMap, Is that normal?
For DigitMap it changed to (1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.|xx.|(Mipd)|[^*#]@@.)
When I clicked revert to OBi settings, it still has the exclamation marks.
