I'm a home-office/residential customer who currently has one POTS line and one VOIP line using a Obi200 (which turned out to be easier to set up than I thought, thanks to instructions on the Callcentric web site).
The AT&T reseller I use for the POTS line is ending its agreement with AT&T, and I choose not to deal with AT&T directly because I have found them to be dishonest and deceptive.
So, I want to replace the POTS line with a second VOIP line. My questions are:
1. Is there an advantage to replacing the Obi200 with an Obi202 versus just buying a second Obi200?
2. I'm currently using all the ethernet outlets on my DSL router. Can I add an ethernet switch and run the two Obis through that? (I just want to be sure that the switch doesn't add a complication.)
I don't want to direct incoming calls to the former landline DID to the existing VOIP line. I want to keep them separate.
Thanks in advance for advice from the knowledgeable folks here.
