can't get home phone jacks hot
mayhem69:
Hi, i disconnected my data plug and phone plug in my network box outside. When i plug a jack into the phone port of the obi110, i am getting no dial tone with my other jacks in the house. What am i doing wrong?
RonR:
Have you plugged a phone directly into the PHONE Port of the OBi to make sure it's operating properly and producing dialtone?
mayhem69:
yes i did and it does work, i have been using a 5 phone cordless system for about a month now. Don't know if it matters but i did have DSL internet, recently switched to Comcast cable just before using the OBI. In my network box there was a Data plug and Phone plug, i unplugged both of them. I also tried 2 different jacks to plug into the OBI phone jack , but still no dial tone. Not sure what i am doing wrong.
RonR:
Be careful you don't connect a 'hot' line to the OBi as you could damage the PHONE Port.
Sounds like you've got the right idea, but only a multimeter and a little investigative work is going to reveal the answer.

I don't have a hot line being i don't have landline service any longer. Could someone please guide me to fixing this, it would be nice to have all the jacks in my house working.
