Phones Keep Ringing After Answering OBi 202
fjl332:
I am not forwarding one to the other. I think the issue is with the OBi202, perhaps the settings, only I don't know what settings are causing this.
Before I connected the one port (port 2) to the house wiring, I had it connected to a fax machine and then to another phone from the fax machine. The same happened. One kept ringing while the other was answered. Except, with the fax machine, it pulled in all the calls as fax calls and prevented anyone from answering the phone! The machine had to be turned off in order to answer the phones at all!
I think the splitter would work, but the whole idea of having two ports is to be able to use them.
SteveInWA:
Like Robert said: use only one of the OBi's two phone jacks, not both. Plug all your phones (corded or cordless) into that one phone jack, via a splitter or via multiple phone jacks in the house wiring. The two phone ports on the OBi aren't intended to be configured to ring via the same SP at the same time.

Thanks, SteveInWA, wish I had known that before buying the OBi 202, a cheaper OBi would have suited my purpose, that being the case! In Canada, I cannot receive GV calls, only place outgoing calls, so the only SP that I can receive calls on is FPL, hence only one port needed!
Seems like a crippled device to me, certainly not what I expected! I'll go with a splitter, have a few sitting around.
