Newbie Setup Help OBI202
vich:
I have a few questions. My current setup is a OBI202 and curently have 2 GV accounts set up and connect my OBI202 to a 4 line RCA 25423/24 4 line analog phone.
I have Line 1 and Line 2 joined in a splitter to connect to the RCA and Line 1 and 2 work great.
Most calls come into Line 1 and if busy forward to line 2. If 2 is busy of no answer then GV picks up as voice mail.
Ultimately I want to add some IP phones. What is a recommendation for a decent 4 line IP phone and the best place to get it, I have used MetrolineDirect in the past. Do not need answering service, may try using AA at some point.
I would like to add some more GV line and am not sure how to do so. My Questions are,
1. can I add another GV SIP (3) and (4) and make it work through my 4 port analog phone. Looking at the jacks (Line1 and Line2) on the OBI202 they both have 4 contacts each which typically support 2 lines.
2. Even If I can't do #1 can I add a 3rd SIP and get to it through line 1 or 2 on my analog phone by **3(phone Number). If so How would I do that . I tried and it had me key in **5 #### but it just stuck there. I am sure I need to get my GGV number in there somehow.
I would appreciate anyone's help on this.

An FYI, the electrical connection on the "Phone 1"/Line 1 jack on an Obi202 carries both Line 1 and Line 2 signals, just like a two-line POTS modular connection. So if you have a two line modular phone cord, and plug in into a two-line analog phone you get two lines in one cable.
I don't see this discussed a lot on here, and I think it's not well known.

Interesting, would that apply to the Obi100 as well?

I don't see that it can because an Obi100 has only one Physical line port. Note that I was talking about analog phone line signals, not two SP1/SP2 voice services that feed into one analog line port.
Edit: added feed into one analog line port.

Thanks for clarifying.
