"All you have to do is connect the Obi device to the router just like any networking device to use your DSL connection to test it and also sign up for Google Voice."
From my research the device can't connect to phone company line voltage, hence the re-routing of Line 1 and Line 2 to separate the phones from the Obi devise. I would connect the DSL side to the device but the phone side cannot see voltage or the device will "blow".
Is this not true?
What does this have to do with the phone company line as all you do is connect it the LAN side aka Ethernet port of the DSL Modem or the router which has nothing to do with the telephone companies phone line. The Obi is a Voice over IP device, it's a Internet connected device and connects using your internet. Your phone devices goes behind the Obi. You connect the phones phones itself to the phone side of the Obi to test things out. Then when things work, that's when you need to connect the phone side to the Obi which is not hard at all if you use a DSL splitter since all you do is disconnect the voice side from the splitter and connect that to the Obi. If you use a DSL filter, then it will be more difficult since you will need to run a dedicated pair for the DSL and disconnect the rest of it.

Yes, that was my point. I have DSL and voice on the same line. For the initial test I can run the phone side of the Obi directly to my portable phone base unit as the router and base unit are at the same location under my office desk. The other phones in the house will still be connected to the phone company Line 1. But after the test I'll need to connect the other phones in the house using the house phone wiring. It's then I'll use the Line1/Line2 split.

DSL usually shares the line with voice unless you had DSL only without voice service but in both cases, the line connects to the telephone network so basically what you want to do is get a DSL splitter and split the line except voice side needs to be disconnected and then connected to the Obi for the line in question.

AIUI the OP has two phone connections to the telco line from the house phone wiring. When he wants to have his OBi's PHONE port connected to both, he will NOT be able to use the house wiring to do that as the house wiring will still need to be connected to the telco line to get the DSL signal to his DSL modem.
The phone or base station that is near the OBi can be easily wired to the OBi. The one that is elsewhere in the residence will be the problem. No amount of using DSL splitter filters can solve that.
House wiring usually has more than one pair. If so it is possible to use a second pair for the phones, independently of the DSL on the other pair connectrd to the telco line. Either adaptors or specially wired cables will be required.
