Can the Ooma Linx devices be used for remote users? (eg someone working from a separate location than where the base station is)

You can forward calls to cell phones using virtual extensions. There is also an Ooma mobile app for outgoing calls, but I do not believe it works for incoming calls in the Office product. The Linx uses DECT technology, so it will only work while physically near the Base Station

It can, but the range is limited to about 150 feet and is, of course, effected by the type of structure it has to go through.

The Linx device uses "cordless phone" technology. Which means the Linx has to be within range of the base unit. However, calls can be forwarded to cell phones ( a feature that really helps my business).

The Ooma Telo is the device that attaches to any phone to activate the Ooma service. It is a required component of the home phone service. The Ooma Linx is an adapter that attaches to any phone so as to allow it to be used with already-established Ooma Teloset-up. In place of buying the Linx you can buy an Ooma handset which is a phone designed to work with the Ooma setup without any attachments.

Linx is an add-on device to the Ooma Telo (base station). It can be used to connect a FAX or a standard phone wirelessly back to the Telo. It is purchased one time. Ooma Telo carries a small yearly fee for taxes.

If the remote area has cell coverage it likely will work. If not you're out of luck.

From a mobile device connected to your network. I have not been able to get it to work from a remote location but it will work when set up correctly

No you can not do remote monitoring. I thought it had the capability also. You need to buy the iris from Lowes. It is a wireless system that is easy to install and had remote monitoring (see it from your phone). I just ordered my iris last week. But the uniden system is not bad for the money. The new uniden systems have remote monitoring.

Gosh - I do not know. I bought the device for a home office location in remote Ravensdale Washington. It did not perform at all and the company did take it back. It may work better if one is not as remote.

You will be able to do it yourself. The instructions are very clear. Maybe I was off my game, but this time when I tried to sync my latest base station it took me a couple of tries so don't give up if this happens. It was really pretty easy - I just had a senior moment.

Good Q! I can't say with any certainty, however I'd guess so. Best to check the Ooma support site.

This phone works like any other land-line home telephone. Your access remotely from another phone is through your telecommunications service provider. If you can access remotely now you should be able to with any other land-line telephone your purchase.

Hi Ryan, No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

Yes, you can. Regardless of whether LIFX supports it or not, you can still control this bulb from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. In order to do this, you will need to establish a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection to your home using a VPN client on your phone. You will need a VPN router at home. Once your VPN connection is up, you can control your bulb (or ANY other device on your WiFi network) from anywhere. If you do not have a VPN router, linksys makes a simple inexpensive one that is easy to deploy.

You can use it for a fax. Add a dedicated line to the ooma office, hook it up through an Ooma Linx. Make sure that particular line is set as a fax.

It should work if you plug straight into the Ooma box as the Ooma device just sees a regular telephone making a call when the PiSector alarm makes an outgoing call. You may be able to feed from your Ooma box straight into a jack in the house and then use all the jacks in your house instead of having to be plugged into the Ooma box itself. But this would depend on your house telephone cable setup. This is how I use my alarm with MagicJack, which is the same principal as the Ooma box, only with a computer in the equation as the Magicjack that I have needs the computer.

Your question just helped me to discover more information for myself. Ooma is always upgrading its products. The telo base that I bought at my Portland house is a little different shape than the one purchased about three months ago at my Beaverton house. The adapter show with your question is the WiFi adapter only and is the one I use at my three story townhome. It was also the same adapter that I for three months at my other house, until the USB cracked in half and was replaced by Ooma with an RMA number and free return shipment label. What they sent as a replacement was a new version combo WiFi adapter and Bluetooth combo, which allows you to use both normal home phones throughout the home and a Bluetooth earpiece. this is beneficial, because I believe the Ooma telo base only has one USB female port on the back if I'm not mistaken. There is also a smaller Ooma Bluetooth adapter for shorter ranges. I'm about to order another component to utilize a free second number in my office with an answer machine too. That component will also allow a fax machine to operate if I used one, but I use a HIPAA compliant Sfax program. Some parts might become phased out for the duality benefit of the newer components like the one in the Amazon address I've included and am using myself now; e.g., http://www.amazon.com/ooma-Ooma-Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B00NZTL1Y2/ref=dp_ob_title_ce Hope this helps, but always remember you can call or text Ooma sales and support anytime to also get answers. Best wishes; Bob

You will need a "landline." Since you have only internet and Ethernet running to the area you could use a Ooma or MagicJack Plus device to generate a "landline" at the unit.
