How to access POTS line (Line 2) with Obi212?
webraider:
using the OBI110 Power supply with the OBI212 works... WHY would that make a difference???? could the new power supply be faulty???
drgeoff:
Does turning the new PSU through 180 degrees (ie swapping the AC pins over) make a difference?
webraider:
I don't know.. when I tried to see, I can't get it work, and now I can't get it to work with the older plug...Could there be a magic position? Do I need to unplug ad re-plug it in every time?
webraider:
Do you think this might be a defective unit?

Okay.. Here's what I found.. I can only use the OLDER power cord, and I can only use that cord with the long tail of the adapter plugged in going off to the right hand side from the power outlet on the wall (or power strip). If I plug it in with the long tail going to the right, it gives me the same result where it will ring but I have to barge in. The Newer power cord only gives me the latter no matter how I position it.
I really don't understand how that is.
I also do have to set the ringer time to 0, but everything else is default settings.
I'm still wondering if I exchange this unit for another if the result will be the same. There is clearly a minor difference in my PBX POTS line.. because the port acts normal with any plug. This didn't bother my 110 but it does bother my 212.
My Solution so far for ANYONE else who see's this. I'm using an older power cord that went with my OBI110, plugged into the wall where the long tail of it goes off to the right hand side. I then have my Ring Delay from the Line Port settings under physical interfaces, set to 0.
It's working perfectly. My OBI110 caller ID would tell me if the call was NY. This one on GV tells me out of the area. Not sure why that is. There may be a setting I can set, but it's not a huge deal. Everything is working now.
I'm still wondering if something in my unit is defective. It shouldn't be this way, but at least it's consistent.
