First off I plan on testing with a new phone/cable when I get home in a few hours, but I just wanted to make sure the unit itself doesn't seem to be borked. I setup the unit yesterday by plugging in the device with a new Panasonic cordless phone I bought off of Amazon at the same time.
I got on my router, got the ip address and logged into the 200's web interface. Went over the status screen to watch the calls going out. I then proceeded to follow the setup instructions by dialing **9 222 222 222. I got no dial tone when picking up the phone, but could see the call going out on the device. 10 seconds later I got the confirmation popup about no 911 service and then I'm back at the dashboard after selecting my GV account. Confirmed and connected. I proceeded to place a test call, no dial tone again, but my cell phone rings after calling. I cannot hear anything on my cell from the cordless, nor can I hear anything on the cordless from my cell.
I called my GV number and the cordless rings, but after picking up the phone, nothing. I can see the incoming/outgoing log on the OBI page. On the phone port status I see the following.
When the phone is hung up. On Hook, Loop Current 0 mA, VBAT 58V (11.5V), TipRingVoltage (45V)
When I try to make a call. I can't remember the voltages, but they change and the current increases from 0. Off Hook, Loop Current 20mA.
From everything I've read online, the unit seems to be okay. If I had 0's or blanks for the voltages, that would mean the unit is fried?
Like I said I bought this phone from Amazon, admittedly it seems to be very new with zero reviews. I stopped by Walmart and picked up a cheap $15 vTech phone and I have a standard corded phone to test with as well. Just hoping to get some clarity that it seems like the obi device is working or not?
