Line 2 does not work on 202
skipro:
I do not get a dial tone on line 2. I have another 202 at another location that works fine on line 2. I have tried 3 phones and several wires. Is the unit bad?

Try unplugging the phone line from port 1 well you are troubleshooting. A fault in the wiring connected to port 1 can stop port 2 from working.

giqcass,
Your idea appears to be correct. I have Line 1 split to go to a phone and house line. Line 2 is direct to phone. Line 1 [split] works fine on local and distant phones which are connected to house line. But Line 2 cuts out if I connect Line 1 to the house line. Why would Line 1 work connected to house line and not Line 2?
I have used this in the past and it worked.

In the above image, pretend that the right side labels said "T line 2" and "R line 2, although don't know which would be on top. That would be similar to the way the OBi202 phone ports are wired.
In other words, the outer pair of the phone 1 contacts are in parallel with the phone 2 line. That is to permit use of a single 4-wire cable to connect to a 2-line phone.
You appear to have a short in your house wiring on line 2. Your action could be either
replace the phone 1 cable with a 2-wire (single pair) cable isolate the outer pair on the connector that you plug the phone 1 cable into
