Incoming Calls Will Ring On
dircom:
I think the main point is, when you ask a question, please add as many details as you can.
Too many people post something along the lines of: "It doesn't work, why not?"
No model #, No service provider info, has it ever worked, is the power on, is the ringer on your phone turned on, have you tested your obi, with a known, working telephone, etc etc

I couldn't agree more, I have tried to help people in these types of situations and it can get frustrating but that does not give him the right to open with a profane laced rant. A simple here is what it does would have been fine, again that was all I was trying to determine.
I appreciate your comment and hope that the other individual takes note of how you replied.
Thanks again.

Without wading into the tangential discussion, here is the answer to the specific question asked:
The menu option you are seeing is confusing, because it is also used for OBi 202 configuration. 202's have two physical phone line jacks, and, if you had a 202, it would display check-mark boxes for both of those phone lines. In that scenario, you'd decide and select which of the two physical telephone lines to ring on inbound calls -- Phone 1 or Phone 2, both, or neither; your choice. For example, you may have a SP that you only use for outbound calling, and you don't want to be bothered if it gets an inbound call. Since the 200 only has one phone line jack, it is only showing Phone 1. Checking the box (by default) will ring the attached phone. Not checking the box will...you guessed it, disable ringing the attached phone. That's all there is to it.
See the attached screenshots.

Thanks SteveINWA, that's all I really wanted to know and you did a very nice job of explaining it, only wish you were the first to reply.
Thanks again.
