Obi202 rings *only* on phone 1 with two GV SPS configured for PH1 and PH2

I don't own an OBi202, so I might have a misunderstanding.

I thought the 2 outside contacts on Phone Port#1 were hard wired to the 2 inside contacts of Phone Port#2. There are no configuration settings that controls this. If a call rings the outside contacts on Port#1 and not the inside contacts on Port#2, I think you have a faulty unit.

I also think the 2 outside contacts on Port#2 are dead. Maybe they switched wires when your unit was built.


I don't have a 202 either but my (mis)understanding of the wiring is the same as azrobert's.

I do have a 202, and I just checked it with a phone line tester.

The "Phone 1" jack on the back of the OBi 202 is wired correctly for a two-line RJ-14 jack (center pair is wired to the OBi's Phone 1 circuitry, and outer pair is wired to the OBi's Phone 2 circuitry).  The "Phone 2" jack is, as was previously said, hardwired as a RJ-11 jack, with the center pair connected to the OBi's Phone 2 circuitry, and the outer pair is N/C.

I haven't opened up the OBi, but most devices with telephone and Ethernet jacks are constructed such that the jack is direct-mounted to the PCB, and the connectors are soldered to the traces on the PCB via pin-in-hole connections, not wired with loose wires.  So, it would be impossible for the OBi to be miswired or otherwise faulty.

Diagnostic test:

Obtain a single-line phone with a known-working ringer and only a 2-wire/2-pin RJ-11 cord and plug. Plug it directly into the Phone 1 jack on the OBi -- do NOT use any house wiring or adapter/splitter jacks, etc.  Test making and receiving calls, using both software-configured GV numbers.  What happens?  Outbound calls should show GV #1 caller ID, and only inbound calls to the GV #1 phone number should ring.  What happens?

Move the telephone to the Phone 2 jack on the OBi and repeat the test.  What happens?
