Title: Obi2182 - what is the LINE port?
Post by: FlintstoneGummy on July 03, 2023, 06:58:24 PM
Playing with my Obi2182, and saw in the configuration screen this. There's even a LINE status screen. But the only CAT3 jack in my Obi2182 is the "Aux" jack.

Can I indeed plug my Obi2182 into my wall and have a landline connection to my Obi2182?

The 2182 can be connected to a POTS line but requires an OBiLINE adaptor. This plugs in to a USB socket on the 2182 and has an analogue phone jack for a cable to the wall jack.

Attempting to connect the wall jack directly to any socket on the 2182 will not work and has a high probability of permanently damaging the 2182.

The OBiLINE was discontinued several years ago.
