Obi202 - 2 Line Phone & Fax Machine - Have SP1 ring on both line of the phone?
Dranon2:
I am glad I read this post! I NEVER knew that that the 1st physical line on the obi 202 had BOTH ph1 and ph2 going to it! Correct me if Im wrong but IF you put the same GV number on both ph1 and ph2 will it act like hunting? IOW if line 1 is busy will it ring line 2 instead of going to VM?

It won't act like true phone company or PBX call hunting (intelligently try each extension in the hunt group until one picks up).
I haven't tried it personally (somebody else posted about it recently, though), but yes, if, and only if, you have a OBi 20x series, not 10x series device, you can configure multiple SP slots for the same GV account. GV will just ring each of them when a call comes in. If you're already on a call, I am not sure exactly how it will behave. It may generate a call-waiting signal on the off-hook line, and/or ring the other line. This isn't officially supported by Google, so it's not documented. You can just try it and see (and then create a new thread to discuss it if you wish, since it is veering off-topic).
If you really need a classic hunt group solution, then using a quality SIP ITSP like Callcentric is a better solution. Its call treatments feature allows you to set up either simultaneous ringing or hunt groups.

This is what I tried.
I have the same GV account defined on an OBi200 and an OBi1032.
While I had a call in session with GV on the OBi200 I called the GV number again and the OBi1032 rang.
If neither phone has an active call, both phones will ring at the same time.
I think you have a misunderstanding of the phone wiring.
The phone port has 4 wires.
On Phone port#1 the inner pair is PH1 and the outer pair is PH2.
Most phones only use the inner pair and ignore the outer.
You need a 2 line phone to be able to utilize the outer pair.
The OBi can route an inbound call to a max of 4 devices.
Change the inbound route to ph1,ph2
This should work the same as have 2 SP's defined with the same GV#.
The OBi can ring 1 device immediately and the 2nd with a delay like this:
ph1,SP4(100@192.168.1.110:5061;d=5)
d=5 is a 5 second delay
PH1 will ring immediately and extn 100 will ring after a 5 second delay.
The delay does NOT work routing to a phone port like this: ph2;d=5
Did you get your IP Phones to work?

I used OBiTalk to configure my OBi202 that is connected to a 2-Line Phone.
1) Calls to "SP1, SP2 or SP3" Ring PHONE1 if idle.
2) If PHONE1 is Busy, then Calls "Call Forward Busy" to PHONE2.
3) Calls to "SP4" Ring PHONE2 if idle.
4) If PHONE2 is Busy, then Calls "Call Forward Busy" to PHONE1.
Device Configuration - OBi202 Main - GglV,VestaLink, viop.ms
SP1 Home1 ph1,2 sp1 VestaLink Registered
SP2 Home# ph1,2 sp2 GglVoice Connected
SP3 Home2 ph1,2 sp3 voip.ms Registered
SP4 vOFc Ph2 sp4 x1024 voip.ms Registered
Phone Port Configuration Summary
Phone 1 Phone 2
Primary Line OGT Calls Route to: SP2 SP2
Phone Rings on INC Calls from: SP1,SP2,SP3 SP4
Voicemail Notification Alert from: SP1 SP1,SP3,SP4
Emergency Service Call Routes to: SP1 SP1
Then, updated the Configuration using Expert Mode:
SP1, SP2 & SP3 - Calling Features
CallForwardOnBusyEnable <Checked> Default <Unchecked>
CallForwardOnBusyNumber ph2(#)
SP4 - Calling Features
CallForwardOnBusyEnable <Checked> Default <Unchecked>
CallForwardOnBusyNumber ph1(#)
Physical Interfaces PHONE1 Port <> Calling Features
CallWaitingEnable <Unchecked> Default <Unchecked>
Physical Interfaces PHONE2 Port <> Calling Features
CallWaitingEnable <Unchecked> Default <Unchecked>

Right; this is because the OBi 2xx series (and the 1032, which is built on the 2xx platform) support multiple connections to Google Chat, whereas the OBi 1xx series do not. (the X_GTalkSimultaneousRing feature)
However, if the DID to which the GV number is being forwarded supports call-waiting, then GV will utilize that feature, and so the DID will receive a call-waiting signal when it's already on a call. So, this is not the same as true PBX call-hunting, but if it's sufficient to meet the requirements, then great.

I assume you were thinking Dranon2 had the misunderstanding; I described the RJ-11 vs. RJ-14 phone jack wiring in my first reply, and how they relate to an OBi 202 and a 2-line phone.
