Can I setup the system to ring line 01 only in the base corded phone and line 02 on 5 linked units of DCX400?

truth is, I cannot answer your question. I used the system for about a week and was extremely disappointed with it (sound quality, features etc) I was a step down (a few steps) from my previous so I went back to my much older Motorola 2 line system. Still have it, packed away in the closet. My suggestion is to look for a different set up...

Does line two ring when you are speaking on line 1? I need it to ring so that another office staff can pick up the line.

Based on what I know after installing to my whole house phone wiring, I would have to say "NO". There would have to be two phone out connections and each would have to be dedicated in order for a two line system to work.

Yes. Each base unit has to be plugged into a phone jack, but they can all be on the same line or number. We have three.

Yes you can. We are currently set up with 4 lines and all 12 phones ring when a call comes in. If someone does not want calls to their phone, they can hit a "Do Not Disturb" button.

Yes. You have several choices for the different lines. I have four phone lines and mine are set so each has its own individual ring tone.

Hi, it will as long as both phone numbers are on the same physical phone. I have 4 lines on my phone and the ability to redirect others to ring to my line. I commonly am on conference calls delivering training to up to 60 people using up to 25 interconnected lines. It all depends on if your one phone you hook the unit to, can do that.You'd get one unit per phone for maximum office performance. I have not had any 'cross talk' issues between units.

I don't recall seeing that option in the manual. As I registered each handset the names were, in order, Handset 1, Handset 2 and Handset 3. You might check the manual to be certain.

you can control the ringer on each line... for example if line 2 is a fax... you can turn off the ringer on 2 and leave line 1 ringer on

Sort of. You could setup a shared line appearance and they'd both ring at the same time. A lot of this depends on which VOIP system you're using, as this would be a feature of the system.

It can run 4 services over 1 device by sharing. It allows each of these services to ring through the same phone. To call out, you actually use a specific dial code to tell the OBi200 which service you want to use to make the call. If you want 4 lines, you'll need to get a 4 port adapter like the OBi504vs although it's probably overkill for a small setup. You can also just buy 4 OBi100 devices and connect one to each phone. Lastly, OBITalk makes VOiP phones that support multiple lines like the OBi1032 and the OBi1062. If you go with one of these phones, you can skip buying any of the OBi adapters altogether.

If you are referring to a phone set that is within the system, the answer is "yes". For example, I answer the phone, but the call is for my husband who is busy in his office. I can put the call on hold, use the intercom to ask if he wants to talk to the person calling, and then go from there. Or, by pressing the intercom button, if you have several handsets, scroll the up/down arrows to select a destination and then press the "select" key.

You only need one per phone line. If you have 4 phones, but they all share the same number, then all you need is one.

You have to use the main unit. But you can blacklist the number at any time. Hope this helps.

You can install the blocker on any of the 4 phones and it will work to block numbers on all of them. But there is a drawback if you don't install it at the entry point -- you will get one ring on the other phones before the unit hangs up. Some users report that they actually like it that way -- when they hear the single ring they know that the unit is working to block a number. I prefer silence myself, so I installed my unit at the entry point.

Hi. You should be able as long as you do not go over 5 REN (as listed in the Obi202 manual). That is the Ringer Equivalence Number. Each phone device has a REN. Keep the total to below the listed 5 REN and you should be fine. I have mine to one wireless phone that is the main unit. The other three units are wireless to the main phone unit.

No, picking up a second handset just joins you with the current call. You would need multiple lines to accomplish that, as a business might have
