I think the bigger issue here is that the Napco equipment must meet all
the UL requirements to be listed.  If UL requires test signals generated
from "line 2", then Napco is obligated to provide this to maintain their
UL listing.  Besides, the "daily test" can't be duplicated.  All the ULC
communicators I work with have provision for only one daily test report,
and that's typically on the primary line.
