Newbie Setup Help OBI202
CoalMinerRetired:
> can I make my 4 line analog phone show all 4 lines through Phone port1 and phone port 2 on the OBITALK202.
I believe multiple people havd answered "No" mutliple times to this question. You seem like you are looking for a different answer.
Since the word "show" in the context of your question is somewhat ambiguous, I'll repeat what's been said. Two analog ports from the Obi202 = two analog phone lines.
You could make all four SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4 ring through Obi Phone 1 port and therefore Line 1 in your four-line analog phone. It also means Analog Phone Lines 2, 3 and 4 are 'dead' and have no dialtone. This in my mind does not mean show, it means you have to dial **2 to make an outgoing call on SP2, **3 for SP3, **4 for SP4. Incoming calls all ring on Obi phone port 1, and therfore analog phone 1. You'd maybe make a differenet ring pattern/cadence for each SPx line to tell which SPx the call is ringing from.

I won't say "No"; I would say the question doesn't make sense (or to quote more polite CoalMinerRetired, it's ambiguous).
Again, your post won't make sense to your 70-year old aunt. And it doesn't make sense to me. Sorry, I give up!
MikeHObi:
From what I can tell, in a perfect world the OP wants 4 incoming lines with a single DID in a hunt group. (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/PBX+Hunt+Groups)
What that means is the OP can give out one phone number and have that number ring all 4 phone extensions in a building, skipping those that are busy and only going to VM if all 4 are busy or no one picks up the call on any of them.
The OP wants to be able to put someone talking on line 3 on hold to make an outgoing call on any of the available lines and ideally probably have a blinking light confirm that line has someone on hold.
This is how business phone systems work. I think you can configure asterisk to do this as well with the right hardware.
The Obi can't do this. (can Obi Plus?)
The obi can bind any single configured service to a POTS port, but you can't bind two services to a port and use wiring to expose them. So service 1,2,3,or 4 can be bound to port 1 or 2 but no two services can be bound to the same pots port using the physical interface. You can access the other services logically, but not physically. Also, Obi doesn't hunt or have a configuration for it.
That's the crux of the issue with using a standard 4 line phone.
vich:
I appreciate eveyone's help. I haven't ignored the no's but I get a piece of information that makes me think I am not explaining it clearly.
Currenlty I have 4 GV SP's but can only access them through line 1/2 on the analog phone.
If I could make them all accessible at the same time on obviously several different phones it would solve my problem.
Sorry to belabor and potential be a pain.
I'll drop it at this point unless someone sees something I am missing.
AGAIN, THANKS :) VERY MUCH for the time and effort.
Ostracus:
Well VoIP ms has hunt groups.
As for the OP it may take additional hardware. Maybe another Obi202 for a total of four lines.
You can also look through the ObiPLUS tutorial for hunting and other needed behavior.
