OBi202, setting up fax to share voice line1

New User, I have the OBi202, employing two voice lines via GV.  I have setup my fax line, differing phone number assigned by GV, to share line 1.

How can I change advance settings to allow line 1 to receive and send faxes, and still retain voice on this same line 1?  Essentially, I want the fax line to go direct to my Brother MFC ??? fax machine.

Thanks in Advance ???

I think I understand what you want. You have 2 GV accounts, 1 for voice and the other for fax. You want your phone and fax attached to phone port#1. For some reason you don't want your fax attached to phone port#2.

The following assumes SP1 is setup for your phone and SP2 for your fax:
Route SP2 inbound calls to phone port#1
Setup SP2 to have a double ring
Setup your fax to only answer on a double distinctive ring

Make the following config changes using OBi Expert:
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_DefaultRing: 3
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_InboundCalRoute: ph

Ring Tone #3 is a double ring
