Distictive ring patters for each incoming line ?

after the device rebooted, I was able to change the '1' value to something else. The other values did in fact result in a ring pattern which was discernibly different.
We just set up a Obihai 202 with 3 Google voice numbers on a single standard (non-VOIP) physical cordless phone on phone port 1. We also want to be able to have the phone ring distinctively depending on whether someone is calling on Google voice line 1, 2 or 3. We successfully changed the ring tone to something other than "1" and hit submit and thought that we were home free. Unfortunately, when we called in, the physical phone would not ring at all. Only when we changed it back to "1" would it ring.
What are we doing wrong? Also, since the phone has different ring tones of its own, how does the Obihai device make it ring differently? I'm not sure how the Obihai could possibly control the phones ring pattern.

I would like to see an OBI Expert provide a definitive explanation of how to configure different (e.g. distinctive) ringtones for incoming calls on SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4. Importantly, this should be possible purely through configuration of the OBi, and not on information provided by the Service Provider.
It is simple enough to change Ring Pattern 1 (for example, 60;(.2+.2,.2+4,.2+.2) ) in Ring Profiles A and B.
But even though the OBi202 allows up to four Service Providers, there are still only two Ring Profiles.
Stewart:
For example, use Ring Profile A for all SPx.
Then, set X_DefaultRing to 1 for SP1, 2 for SP2, etc.
Using the default settings for Ring Profile A, that would give these cadences:
SP1: 60;(2+4)
SP2: 60;(.3+.2,1+.2,.3+4)
SP2: 60;(.8+.4,.8+4)
SP4: 60;(.4+.2,.3+.2,.8+4)
Of course, you could change those settings to anything you like.

Thanks, I confirmed that indeed produces distinct rings.

I am having this same problem - cannot change any values. Everything is grayed out. Can you share with me how to fix this?
