Obi202 SP1 set up - newbie needs help

Hi, I am just going through the set up process for my Obi202. I am configuring my SP1 (voip.ms). On the page the last two fields are username and password. Do I make up another username and password for this? Or are these the ones I already registered on Obitalk with?

Hovering over the ? information beside username, it just says: "Your account will be used in the Obi's authusername parameter". I don't know what this means.

Thanks.

You woulld enter the username and password from the SIP credentials you obtain from voip.ms.

With Voip.Ms you get an account number when you sign up similar to 123456. You would enter that as the name.

If you created subaccount like 123456_obi then that is your name.

The password is whatever you assigned to the main account or the subaccount.

I particularly use subaccounts because I want to use Zoiper to connect and have Obi's and other devices and each one is on a separate subaccount.

I see, so it's the SIP username and password from my voip.ms account.

Thanks. That worked. Looks like I have the obi202 registered now.

I had a similar issue.
We need to deal with three different Logins (plus a pin number) when setting  up OBihai adapter:
1) http://www.obitalk.com Login ID/Password
2) Voip provider (e.g. Voip.MS) Login ID/Password
3) OBihai box Login ID/Password

So it's relatively easy to confuse all these logins.

It's a design defect and should be fixed.
Names of these logins should be made more specific (e.g. like on my list above).
