I am looking at buying one of these devices and connecting it to a freepbx (or asterisk) server and using a few voip phones at my house. I also have a printer with fax capabilities that would be nice to use as well, if possible. My questions are:
1. I have read that the Obi200 can only support one "call" at a time, meaning that if you use it to fax, it can't make/recieve calls at the same time, whereas the Obi202 has two "calls" so it can. Is this correct? It's hard to find information exactly related to this topic and configuration.
2. Does it matter which device I buy? My configuration plan is as follows: the internet port on the obihai will plug into my switch. Via this connection, it will be able to communicate with my LAN, the PBX, and the internet. The telephone jack on the obihai will connect to the printer for faxing. Is this correct? Would this setup work or would I need additional jacks? I notice the Obihai202 has an internet port and a LAN port, do I have to have that one or will the single "internet" port work just fine for my LAN and internet simultaneously?
3. This question is less important: If I had for example 3 VoIP phones on my home LAN, connected to a PBX server that is then connected to the obihai for google voice access, would I be able to make 2 calls at the same time? Or unlimited?
The too long didn't read summation of this is:
If I plug the obi200 internet port into my LAN switch, point my PBX server to it, and connect my printer fax line to the rj11 port of the obi, can I make and receive calls and fax at the same time? If not, could I do that with the 202?
Thanks very much.
