4 Google Voice Lines on OBi202

I am just wondering if it is possible to have 4 separate Google voice numbers on a OBi202 and wiring them to separate phones.
Example:
OBi202 Line 1 port the 2 inner pins be line 1 and the 2 outer pins line 2
OBi202 Line 2 port the 2 inner pins be line 3 and the 2 outer pins line 4
Running the Line 1 & 2 ports to a punch down block and then to 4 different phone jacks in different rooms.
Line 1: Mine and Wife phone (248)555-1100
Line 2: Kids (248)555-1101
Line 3: Home Office (248)555-1102
Line 4: Home Office Fax (248)555-1103

Or do I need 2 OBi202?

Yes you can have 4 GV accounts on an OBi202.  No you cannot have 4 separate phones, only 2.

On an Obi 202 the phone jacks are wired as follows:

PHONE1 jack centre two pins (3 and 4) are LINE 1
PHONE1 jack pins 2 and 5 are LINE 2
PHONE2 jack centre two pins (3 and 4) are LINE 2 (ie they are hardwired to pins 2 and 5 of the other jack)

All other pins are not connected.

PHONE1 jack is wired so that it can be connected to either a 1-line phone or a 2-line phone.

How the 4 accounts are mapped to the 2 phones is completely user-configurable and can be different for incoming and outgoing calls.

You can have different ring cadences for incoming calls on the 4 accounts.
