STEP 6:
#1. If prompted, log in to the web configuration for the OBi-110: http://192.168.0.188 using the default admin user name and password
#2. Navigate to "Voice Services --> SP1 Service --> SIP Credentials"
#3. As you see from the screen capture, you need to enter:
1. The "AuthUserName" which should be your FPL Telephone Number
2. The "AuthPassword" which is the SIP "key" you purchased for $56.50
3. The "Caller ID Name" which is good phone etiquette. The field allows -- and the OBi-110 transmits -- lowercase text.
Note: If you want to block your ID you can do so on a one-off (*67) or persistent basis (*81)
#4. Click on "Submit" and you will be prompted to reboot the OBi-110. Go ahead and do so.
STEP 7:
#1. If prompted, log in to the web configuration for the OBi-110: http://192.168.0.188 using the default admin user name and password
#2. Navigate to "Physical Interfaces --> PHONE Port"
#3. As you see from the screen capture, you only need to change the value for "PrimaryLine" to "SP1 Service" [which should be FPL]
#4. Click on "Submit" and you will be prompted to reboot the OBi-110. Go ahead and do so.
IF EVERYTHING WAS SET UP CORRECTLY [AND THE NORSE GODS ARE WITH YOU] PICK UP THE HANDSET AND MAKE A CALL
IF IT WORKS . . . G R E A T !!
IF IT DOESN'T . . . I'M NOT ACCEPTING ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY
REMARKS:
I've made a few calls local to Toronto and a LD call to Montreal and the call quality is superb. A barely noticeable notch below Ma Bell's POTS (or PSTN if you prefer) -- and at unbeatable value !!
I'll stress-test over the next 4 to 6 weeks . . . and if FPL and the OBi-110 both hold up (now I've got to UPS the modem / router / ATA / tel set combo for high availability) I'll make the move to port my Bell land-line and say "Buh Bye" to Ma Bell. All for about $150.00 all-in.
BTW, there's much much more the OBi-110 can do: handle a second SIP / VoIP provider; bridge PSTN and VoIP; call other OBi-110s and OBi-100s on the OBiTALK network (every device has a unique 9-digit number) anywhere, dialing plans, etc. etc. that it'll take me months to exploit even half of its capabilities.
I hope this post helps you if you're looking to purchase and ultimately configure an Obihai OBi-110 or OBi-100 ATA with FPL. Small wonder NerdVittles called the OBi-110 the "2011 VoIP Device of the Year" back in January !!
