obi 202 setup
MattLS:
Thank you for the replies
I got busy with paying the bills and stopped working on this for awhile.
hopefully next week I can return to working on this. I will report how it goes and what I learned later.

Hi, I'm new here. Where can I post my own question? Don't want to interfere with you're issues. However, I can receive calls on my OBI202 device but NOT outgoing calls. My service provider (Onesuite) says its my device. I have previously spoken to a tech guy from OBI and said its my provider. Someone PLEASE help me here! Thanks!!

Probably the best section is 'Installation and setup'. If you look at the list of topics in any section, at the top right and bottom right of the box enclosing that list you will see a few buttons, one of which is 'new topic'.
When you post in the new topic be sure to describe exactly what you do and what happens when you attempt to make a call. Phrases like "doesn't work" are not not sufficiently informative.

Ok I have the first number in the process of porting to my google voice account. Then I will port my other number to my other google voice account and connect both GV accounts to my obi202. My next question is how do I connect up my 2-line phone to the obi202. Will I have to split the pairs an plug line 1 into phone 1 and line 2 into phone two. Or is each obi jack already capable of doing 2 lines? The when I set up each GV as a SP on the OBI I assume I will need to use "phone 1" and "phone 2" respectively? Or am I misunderstanding obi meaning of phone 1 and phone 2?

Hey Matt:
So, you're making good progress. Connecting the phone will be easy. Basic telephone wiring primer: US modular phone plugs and jacks come in different wiring configurations. The two most common are RJ-11, which has two gold pins in the center, and RJ-14, which has four gold pins. The center two pins are for telephone line one, and the outer two pins are for line two. So, you'll find "silver satin" phone cords that have either two conductors or four, as seen by looking at the gold pins inside the plugs.
Most two-line analog telephones have two jacks: one labelled "L1+L2", and another labelled "L2". This is to enable the user to either plug in a four-conductor cord into the L1+L2 jack to connect both lines over one cord, or to connect the two lines individually; line one into the L1+2 jack and line two into the L2 jack. This is to accommodate premises that either have a RJ-14 wall jack with both pairs live, or two RJ-11 wall jacks, one for each line. Note that the phone's L2 jack actually uses the center two gold pins, since technically, it's a single line jack.
The OBi 202 is wired exactly the same way. Its first phone jack is wired as RJ-14, and then the outer two conductors of that jack are wired internally over to the center two pins of the other phone jack.
So, long story short: either use a 4-conductor cord between the two devices' L1+L2 jacks, or use two, two-conductor cords between two individual lines -- same result electrically.
The OBiTALK dashboard has a little table with check-mark boxes, to select which VoIP service provider slots (SP1 -- SP4) will be activated on which of the two phone jacks. In your case, just select GV1/SP1-->L1 and GV2/SP2-->L2.
