Here is the reply I received from CallClerk on how to get the obi202 to work with it. I haven't tried it yet, but will over the weekend. There is a 30-day trial before I have to purchase it. I will try first without the "Hiro" device and only if necessary purchase it, since I have no idea of what it is exactly.
I hope this may help others who might want to do this. I will update my findings as I make changes and until I find the exact procedures that work or I need help making it work. I am not a tech wiz but will try anything as long as it is not too expensive. lol
Thanks again for your help.
Hi Art,
Thanks for your interest in CallClerk.
Actually, yes it will – in fact I myself use an Obi202 device and Windows 10 x64 with CallClerk.
Also involved in the mix you will need a phone number capable of reporting Caller ID, ideally one that also supports voice like the Hiro H50113. For more information please see:
https://www.callclerk.com/phone/hlpCallClerkModems.html Additionally, if you go with this same setup, you will need to make a tweak to your Obi202 settings – I've written up on this page:
https://www.callclerk.com/phone/hlpCallClerkFAQ.html but it short it is as follows:
... you are using a VOIP service and the ring voltage is too low. For example, in Canada, I myself use an Obi202 device with phonepower's VOIP service and a Hiro 50113 modem. The Hiro modem did not however report the Rings or Caller ID info until I changed, via the Obi202 devices settings, the default Ring voltage from 70 volts to 90 volts. After that the Hiro 50113 modem reported both the rings and caller id fine. Of note, in testing a Hiro 50228 modem reported both the rings and the caller id info fine at 70 volts.
Here too are the notes I kept for myself on how to do that ..
First get the IP address of the obihai device, to do this dial ***1 on your phone and write down the number you hear, it my case it was 192.168.0.24
sign onto the obihai device via your web browser, in my case, I typed in 192.168.0.27 in the address bar of Chrome
enter your user id (default is 'admin') and password (default is also 'admin')
go to
Physical Interfaces
Ringer
Set Ring Voltage to 90
Scroll to the bottom of the window
Click the button to submit the changes
Scroll to the top of the window
Click the button to Reboot
Hope this will be of help,
Best Regards,
