Obi 202 Phone Line 2 No Dial Tone

Have a close look at the socket of the fax machine and check for bent pins.

Are you connecting the OBi and the printer with an ordinary RJ11 to RJ11 phone cord? No extender cables, adaptors etc.

FYI - the machine has only one telephone port and I have set the FAX receive mode to FAX, FAX/TELEPHONE and MANUAL with no difference in results.  I have also set the COMPATIBILITY mode to EASY(VOIP)

FYI - the machine has 2 sockets. One labelled LINE and one labelled EXT. You should be using the LINE socket.

KJHeinz:
Thanks for the reply -
I see there is an EXT socket as well - but it has a cover on it, so I have been using the LINE socket all along.

I have several telephone cables laying around from various machines bought over the years, and after messing around with them I found one that doesn't create the "off-hook" signal in the Obi.

I now successfully sent and receive a fax.

Thanks again...
