Multiple phones?

(1/3) > >>

karlboer:
Is it possible to connect multiple phones to a single OBi110 using a phone line splitter?

Stewart:
Sure, but you can use only one at a time, unless they are participating in the same call.  If connecting more than 3, confirm that the total REN is less than 5.  The REN for each phone should be printed on the bottom of the unit.

karlboer:
OK.  Here's what happened.  I plugged the phone line directly into the line port of the OBi110, then connected a string of three other phones into the phone port of the OBi110.  Total REN is less than 3.  No dial tone.  If I unplug any of the individual phones in the string and plug them directly into the phone port of the OBi110, the dial tone returns. If I plug the string of three directly into the phone line (in the wall) they all work fine, with no problems.

Suggestions?

 Why not just get a DECT 6 cordless phone with 4 or 5 handsets and call it a day???
 Plug the base into the OBi and place the handsets throught the home. Problem solved.


Just my 2 cents

Hmmm.  It's tempting, but my wife has a headset that she loves to use around the house that would not work with this phone.  I'll need to chew on it a bit.
