Line 2 does not work on 202
skipro:
Resolved issue, I think. OBi Line 1 was split to phone and house line, OBi Line 2 was connected directly to phone [line 2]. If Line 1 was connected to house line, Line 2 was not available. If Line 1 was not connected to house line, Line 2 was available. I connected the line going to the house line to a splitter that had a dedicated " Line 1" port and then Line 2 worked. Since Line 2 had no connection to Line 1 or the house line, the only commonality/connection was the OBi unit. Apparently the OBi unit did not like the original setup.
This "fix" would make more sense if Line 2 was also connected to the house line thru the new splitter using a dedicated "Line 2" port. Then I could see the new splitter having this effect. But not when the 2 lines were not connected, other than their origin [OBi unit].
Main telephone "line 2" wires are not connected at the junction box outside house. This confuses me more as that should lessen any conflict, I would think.
What was the problem so I can avoid issues in the future.

Shales picture pretty much sums up the root of the issue. Here it is re labeled.
Most homes are wired with four conductor phone lines. That makes it easy to add a second line but if any of the second lines wires were crossed in the house it could cause a problem.
