The default for all OBis, with the possible exception of the 5 series, is that incoming calls on all SPs (ITSPs, OBiTALK and LINE/OBiLINE) are directed only to the PHONE1 port.

Have you changed that?

SP2 Service, X_InboundCallRoute needs to be ph2.


Thanks for your quick response.  This is how things were set when I opened the web interface:

SP1 Service, X_InboundCallRoute = {>(3685):ph,ph2}
SP2 Service, X_InboundCallRoute = ph,ph2


I subsequently deleted that reply as on further reading I considered it irrelevant to your symptoms.

I'm slightly confused as to whether or not you are using SP2 service.  If not, an OBi PHONE port should be perfectly capable of operating with two phones wired in parallel on it.

You can check which wires, inner or outer pair, are used for the house wiring to the kitchen as follows.  Plug the house wiring into the PHONE1 port.  You should hear dial tone when taking the kitchen phone off-hook.  (If not you have a wiring problem.)  Then plug the house wiring into PHONE2 socket.  If you still get dial tone, it is using the inner pair.  If you don't it is using the outer pair.

It is important that there is no telco connection to the house wiring.  Any voltage on there has the potential (pun!) to damage an OBi's PHONE port.

On the OBi202, the inner pair of pins of the PHONE1 socket are 'Phone 1'.  The outer pair of pins of the PHONE1 jack and the inner pair of pins of PHONE2 socket are paralleled and are 'Phone 2'.


So, there's no outer pair wired in the PHONE2 socket, even though there are 4-wires in the socket?

Correct.

This was the problem.

The UVerse box used the outer pair of wires to feed the signal back into the house wiring, and the Obi202 uses the inner pair on PHONE2.  After I re-terminate the connector to use the inner pair, all the phones ring and have dial tones.

Thanks again to all who replied.

Take Care,
