Title: Only 2 of 3 house phones work with OBI110, is there a max? Post by: noHatNoCattle on July 25, 2014, 08:18:42 am In my house, I have 3 phones in 3 different rooms. I have the OBI110 "phone port" connected to a phone jack in my house. Only 2 of my 3 phones work. Is 2 the max number of phones that work with OBI110? I found in the OBI110 documentation the following:
Maximum Ring Load 5 REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) Does that mean a maximum of 5 phones are supported? Any ideas why my 3rd phone doesn't work (no dial tone)? Thank you in advance for any help.

Post by: HDFLucky on July 25, 2014, 08:35:07 am If you disconnect one of the two working phones, does the third one then start working? If not, it suggests a wiring problem, or in the case of wireless phones, some issue with communicating between the handset and base. There is not a 1-to-1 relationship between number of phones and REN. There should be a label on the phone or a statement in the owner manual, specifying its REN value.

The phone that wasn't working is wireless the other 2 are wired phones. Not sure why but after unplugging and plugging in the one wireless phone and one wired phone, all 3 phones work now !! Thanks for the help HDFLucky !! Title: Re: Only 2 of 3 house phones work with OBI110, is there a max? Post by: zorlac on July 25, 2014, 08:41:16 pm FWIW, my obi100 drives 6 phones no problem.
