OK, then I can send a phone cord from the L1 + L2 jack to the wall? Thanks.
The only OBi devices with a L1+L2 jack are the 202 and 302.
The only situation where you can plug a magicjack into an OBi is when you have an OBi110 or an OBiLINE. You can daisychain the two by connecting the OBi LINE jack to the magic jack. In all cases the PHONE jack(s) of an OBi and the phone jack of a magicjack must be kept electrically separated.
What sort of obsessive-compulsive know-it-all disorder makes you troll my posts? At least, let the original posters and I have a sufficient set of questions and answers back and forth, before barging in.
We are talking about the L1+L2 jack on the splitter. Look at the photograph attached to my original answer. The splitter has a male RJ-14 plug on the back, and it breaks out the two lines into two RJ-11 female jacks, one for L1 and one for L2, and it also provides a female RJ-14 jack labeled ... wait for it, L1+L2.
While not the only way to solve the problem, my solution works, if my assumptions about the OP's situation is correct. If the OP had some other setup in mind, let's at least let him explain it first.

SteveinWA, your assumptions are all correct. Thanks.

I own an Obi 202 and an Obi 200. I have never posted in the forums here but have been around awhile. Can an Obi 202 and an Obi 200 be daisy chained together? Meaning I want to plug the internet port on the 202 to my router and the LAN port of the 202 to the 200. My exact reason for this is 4 SP slots are not enough for me. I want both units to operate as if they are part of the same LAN, thus, doubling the total number of SP ports that are available to 8.
Will this work?
Thanks ...

Yes, you can do that, although it's unclear if the Quality of Service (QoS) function in the 202 would throttle or otherwise impact the performance of the 200. I doubt it. You can simply give it a try and see for yourself.
I'd suggest instead plugging both devices into the same router or switch, instead of daisy-chaining them. If you don't have enough Ethernet ports available, adding an Ethernet switch to your router, or replacing a 4-port or 5-port switch with an 8-port switch is a very inexpensive solution.
One issue you might encounter, depending on the Internet Telephone Service Provider(s) (ITSPs) you use, is a conflict with multiple service provider configurations on the two devices using the same SIP user agent ports. If you find problems with one-way audio or failure to register, that would be something to check. When using the OBiTALK portal to configure SP slots, the setup will automatically increment the UA port numbers on one device. The other device could likely duplicate those same for UA ports, though.
