I would like to connect the main incoming phone line coming from the phone company into the phone port on my OBi202. When I do this, the result is blinking phone lights on the device, meaning the phone is off the hook or some other issue.
Is there some extra setup that needs to be done? Or can you only connect outgoing phones, and not incoming lines?
No and don't try again. You can fry the phone port. You need an OBi212, OBiLine adapter or an OBi110. All have an FXO port. The OBi202 only has FSX ports.
Get the OBiLINE: https://www.obitalk.com/info/faq/OBiLINE-sec/what-is-obiline
That explains that, thanks guys!

Do NOT try that spammers' suggestion. It certainly will not work for incoming or outgoing calls and can fatally damage an OBi's phone port. It will also not endear you to the phone company.
