obi 202 setup
drgeoff:
The Phone1 jack on a 202 is wired for a 2-line phone. Phone1 on the innermost pair and Phone2 on the pins either side of those. Phone2 jack is wired with only the innermost pair for Phone2.
MattLS:
Ok so I will use both pairs of the phone 1 connection with my two line phone.
I see that on GV it is possible for me to keep my original number (for $20) if I was to port my second number to my GV account. (thereby porting both numbers that I want to 1 GV account) But not sure how/if this could be set up on my obi. (It appears that maybe I must set each number up as a second SP in order to control what line each number rings on as well as other settings for each line?) I need to be able to control what each line does as line one will be personal and the other business. I am on the right track here with using two GV accounts, one for each number? or would it be in fact easier to port both to one GV account?
Thanks for your help, I think I am getting there!

If you port both numbers into one GV account, you cannot control the inbound calling behavior of those lines separately. The OBi is configured on a per-GV account basis, not on a phone number basis. If you have one GV account with two inbound phone numbers assigned, then calls to either number will ring the one GV account that is configured on your OBi.
If you port each number into a separate GV account, then you can configure them completely independent of each other, as I described.
MattLS:
So I have my number ported to GV. And GV set as SP1. SP1 status says connected. I have selected "phone 2" for incoming and outgoing. (I have tried with phone 1 also selected"
OBI number on device config is different- but I assume this never changes? Also I see a "soft phone" and number
When I dial my number ported to GV (from another line) I get a message saying that the "GV customer is not available leave a message". Then I get an email from GV telling me I missed a call.
When I dial out from phone 1 or phone 2 it seems to work fine
On my GV setting page I see "forward calls to:" and then an unchecked box next to "google chat" which has something to do with my gmail email address. Should I delete the google chat selection? Any other ideas? Do I need to forward from GV to the obi # I mentioned above?
SteveInWA:
You need to have a check mark in the box next to Google Chat, to receive inbound calls. Calling via an OBi technically uses the old Google Chat (XMPP) protocol, not Google Voice, which is an inbound call forwarding system.
It sounds like that's all that you've overlooked, but here are my complete instructions:

As for the phone 1 vs. phone 2 question, again: the 202 has 4 logical service provider configurations, and each of those SP1 through SP4 can be set to ring a phone plugged into either the phone 1 jack, or the phone 2 jack, or both. This is controlled on the OBiTALK portal, at the bottom of the settings page.
