How to connect several corded phones in network?

[blanchard]

I have three Corded Phones connected to the Phone Network. Currently only one phone is working which is directly connected to OBi110.

How do I connect all using OBi110?

Hi,

There is a good write up on how to set this up here.

All you should need to do is hook the Obi into a wall jack. It should then ring all the phones within the house.

If the existing wall jacks are still wired to the POTS line you should not connect them to the Obi's PHONE port. The port is not designed to accept the voltage present on a POTS line and the Obi could be permanently damaged.

jimates is correct, this will permanently damage your OBi device if you do this without first making sure there is no voltage on the internal wiring from ANY other source, AND that the inside wiring is COMPLETELY disconnected from the telephone company's wiring.  The article that QBZappy linked represents a lot of effort in explaining all this (I should know  ), but I do suggest you read it, first so that you'll know what you are doing and most important, so that you don't damage your OBi device!

Yes, I agree. I guess that is important information I forgot to mention. I recently was using phone service through my cable provider who had already disconnected the line on the box outside. I did double check to make sure it was disconnected before I hooked my Obi into it.
