How to access POTS line (Line 2) with Obi212?
ProfTech:
This is a fascinating thread. It looks like the 212 / power supply issue died without complete resolution. I used a 110 for 5 or 6 years while I had dsl and it worked great. On a related note, however I did find that there was some hum in the phone when using the 110 and a POTS line. I mostly eliminated the hum by replacing the Obi supplied AC adapter with a Jameco 170245. Not sure where I bought it but it wasn't cheap. I no longer have a POTS line and have switched to an OBI 200 but I'm wondering what effect replacing the 212 power adapter with a Jameco as noted above would have? The Jameco has a power transformer and isolates the AC line.

I have used the standard configuration which is almost a self configuration for setting up Google Voice as my default calling out option.I don't remember having to do too much tinkering on my Obi110. If someone called me on the POTS line, my phone rang just as well as it did if someone called me on GV. This device is NOT ringing or letting me answer any calls on the POTS.

1. Are you able to get dial tone on the POTS line? I believe that dialling ## should get you that. If not, double check your connections. Also I think that if you remove power from the 212, the LINE jack and the PHONE jack are bridged meaning the attached phone is directly connected to the landline. If you cannot make or receive landline calls in that condition, it is not caused by misconfiguration of the OBi.
2. IF POTS outbound through the powered 212 is OK but inbound is not, use Expert mode on your dashboard and look at Physical Interfaces, LINE Port, InboundCallRoute. Check that it shows ph. If not, click the two boxes at the right hand end of the line until they are both unticked, then type in ph . Scroll to the bottom and click Submit. The 212 will reboot. Any improvement?

I suggest you examine the Call History. That is just about the only info that is not available via the Obitalk portal. You get it using the 212's onboard web server. Plug a computer into the LAN socket of the 212. If the computer is set to get its IP address by DHCP it needs to be rebooted after plugging in to the 212. If set with a static IP address, it needs to be in the range 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.255.
