OBI202 ring delay
Gavo:
Thanks all.
I've got another 202 being delivered tomorrow. I'll try these out and let you know.

Gavo:
The ring delay works 100% but the Call Forward on Busy produces a real peculiar outcome.
I can get a call in progress on phone 1 and leave it off-hook (a free info line) and sure enough when I call the number of the SIP account it rings phone 2 but also sends ringing current into phone 1 so whilst you can hear the info line you also get a distorted ringing over the top of it.
I would have thought the OBI was clever enough to realise not to do this.
Any ideas as to how to stop this ringing ?
The divert on busy would tick the box if it could work correctly.

Gavo:
Spoke too soon regarding the ringing delay.
If you try and answer the call from phone 1 before phone 2 starts ringing you can seize the line and answer the call. Once phone 2 starts ringing you can only seize the line on phone 2, phone 1 simply cannot seize the line - ringing current simply keeps being sent to it. And if phone 1 is off hook and you answer from phone 2 you hear dial tone from phone 1 over the top of the conversation on phone 2 (call returns to normal when phone 1 replaced on receiver).
Surely this cannot be standard behaviour.

The Obi202 has two phone ports. The connector for phone port 1 has both phone 1 and phone 2 connections in it for use with a two-line phone. A two line phone would require 4 wires in the cable from the Obi port to the phone.
Phone port 2 only has connections for phone line 2.
I think that you may be using 4 wires in the cable from the phone port 1 to the phone you are using and perhaps there is short in the wire or the telephone is crossing the signals back to line 1. (Another possibility is that the prongs inside the female connecter are touching - not as likely as my first guess).
As an example, Hewlett Packard Fax machines specifically say to use the supplied telephone wire they ship between the fax and the place it connects to (it only has 2 wires) and is probably required for a similar reason.
Look through your junk drawer and see if you have a telephone wire with only 2 wires instead of 4, and see if that stops the buzzing on calls.
Radioshack sells 2 wire cables, there are adapters that only have 2 wires and in a pinch, some people just cut the outer 2 wires from a 4 wire cable.
If you can swap out the phone and/or wire to it for a 2 wire, see if that solves the problem.
Gavo:
It's always the simple things !
I'm in the UK and one of the BT100 (UK plug) to RJ11 was indeed a 4 wire converter, I swapped it out for a 2 wire version and it was solved.
Thank you mate.
However - I may be getting picky but...do you know if the delay in ringing phone 2 can be shortened - must be about 4 or 5 rings (in my headset of my phone ringing in) before the phone attached to the phone 2 port starts to ring.
Cheers
Gavin
