OBi 202 will only handle one phone at a time.
idahowayne:
We live in a remote area with no land lines, poor cell service and only solar power. Bought the OBi 202 so we could both be on at once when the kids call. If both phones are off hook the second one continuously disconnects and reconnects at about 5 second intervals.
Is there some settings I can change to correct this, or is the 202 only able to handle one phone at a time?
drgeoff:
A 202 should be able to handle two simultaneous calls.
What phones do you have and are they plugged directly into the 202's PHONE sockets?
Which of these combinations exhibit the problem:
1. 2 outgoing calls.
2. 2 incoming calls.
3. 1 outgoing and 1 incoming.

drgeoff, I have 2 DAK phones from the 80's.
They are both connected directly to the 202.
The only combination that is a problem is using both phones on the same call. It doesn't matter if it's incoming or outgoing.

idahowayne,
We connected a VTech DS6151 DECT 6.0 Two-line Cordless Phone System with DS6101 Cordless Handsets to our OBi202. We are able to have two calls at once without any issues other than an occasional odd sounding ring sequence.
I have my OBi202 configured with Google Voice, Vestalink and two voip.ms services.
I disabled "Call Waiting" and configured the calls to ring ph1.
If ph1 is busy, "Call Forwarding Busy Line" is enabled to ring ph2.
We have no issues making or receiving two calls at once or having one outgoing and one incoming call at the same time. When one of two calls ends, we are able to receive or make a new call.

azrobert, I first tried it using a splitter so both phones were connected to the "phone 1" connection. I have since tried other combinations, all with the same results, continuous disconnect and reconnect. It does not drop the line, as the other phone is still connected. It's just that the person on the second phone cannot be part of the conversation.
