I just received and installed the Polycom branded version of the OBI 202. Everything was quick and easy. I have two GV numbers set up as SIP1 and SIP2 on Phone Line 1. On Phone Line 2 I used yet a third GV number to try to set up a dedicated fax line. I unplugged the telephone line (that came with the HP machine) from the wall phone jack and plugged it into the Phone Line 2 jack on the OBI. (The other end remains plugged into LINE 1 on the HP device.) I configured it as I did the two phone lines on the other phone line, and it shows as "connected."
I tried to send a test fax to my office fax machine (not at my residence), but I found this morning that nothing had transmitted.
I'm curious about a couple of things. First, is it correct to just connect the fax machine directly to the OBI, or is some different (or additional) connection required? Also, when entering the fax number (on the HP machine) to send a fax, I assume I must I type in **3 (to designate SP3, which is on Phone Line 2). Is this correct?
Are there any other suggestions as to configuration and/or the physical wiring set up of the devices that might allow the fax to function?
Thanks!
