Coalminerretired, Thanks for the quick reply. Does that mean I should be able to drive 2 lines out of Phone 1 and 2 of Phone 2.
If so How do I configure? I've read a lot but just not seeing it. I have SP1 using Phone 1 and SP2 is using Phone 2. How would I switch SP2 to the second pair on Phone 1. Then I could set up SP3 and SP4 out of Phone 2 for the other additional lines.
Browsing around I suspect it has something to do with the VOICE SERVICE, X_InboundCallRoute parameter. Haven't found what to change it to yet.
Thanks for the help

In my testing, this only works on Physical "Phone 1" port. There is no configuration needed.
I think there is some misunderstanding here. SP1/SP2 are Voice Services normally configured to user the jack/port for Phone 1, i.e., commonly called on here Line 1 or Phone 1.
SP3 and SP4 are voice services normally configured to use the jack/port for Phone 2, i.e., commonly called Line 2 or Phone 2.
I'm not referring to the SP1/SP2/SP3/SP4 services, I'm talking about the physical Phone ports, #1 and #2.
What I'm saying is with no configuration needed, the jack/port for Phone 1 also carries the analog signals for Phone 2. So if you use a "two line" modular phone cable from the Obi's Phone 1 port to a compatible two-line analog phone with a compatible two-line phone port (usually labeled "L1/L2" on the analog phone), you get the analog electrical signals for two physical phone lines carried through one physical phone "modular" cable.
I think the phone cords are formally named RJ14 (might be wrong on this point), and you get then at any radio shack/walmart/staples store. They are usually labeled "two line compatible." IME very rarely in the last ten years are these "modular" cables supplied in one line format.

If I follow you correctly I should plug a 4 wire RJ?? from the Phone 1 on the Obi202 into the Line 1/2 port on the RCA Phone.
Plug a second 4 line wire from the OBI202 Phone 2 to Line 3/4 on the RCA 4 line set.
After that How do I get SP2 to go out the 2 line of Phone 1 and get sp4 to go out the second line of phone 2 on the OBI.
Am I making any sense?

There are some single line cords out there. I see them supplied with some HP Fax machines, etc.

No. The phone cord from Phone 1 also carries the signals for Phone 2. With an Obi202, you still have only two physical, analog phone phone lines. Even with what I mentioned above, which is nothing more than a way to use one 'phone cord' instead of two.

The normal configuration. Discussed at length on here, done via the ObiTalk portal, etc., etc.

Based on the above you're still missing a few points. See reply #8 above.
