Thank you Drgeoff for your reply.

Yes, "IF" I had a working Obi110 I would not have spent the money in buying new gadgets. You are right.
IF the 110 was working I could just copy all the parameters and make the Obi202 work.

Unfortunately, Obihai and GV are not compatible anymore with each other for the end of life 110, (I guess you have not been reading the news) and I thought it was a glitch and a miss-configuration problem and I started "tweaking" and messing with the programming. Now I do not know how to set up the Obi202 by myself and have to relay in the good people of this board.

Your answer is of no help, and I will quote it: " You can configure the OBi202 plus OBiLINE combination in almost the same way as you did the OBi110."
If I am asking for help is because I can not do it myself. There is no: same way. I had this Obi110 working for about 5 years now. But since it does not work with GV anymore and, not as fault of myself, I was requesting for real help
I will try the method of Asrobert and see if it works.
I was not able to make the 110 to work with Callcentric for the incoming calls of the PSTN line and forward the calls to my cell number or any other number. It does ring on the attached phone, though.
Real detail tech solutions would be of help.
Thank you.

Sorry but it is you who has not been reading and properly understanding the news.

Yes, your OBi110, in common with all others, will not work with GV now because it requires a firmware update which Obihai have declined to provide.  However, unless your OBi110 has developed some other fault which has not befallen the vast majority of other OBi110s, yours will still work perfectly with non-GV services.  That means, the PSTN line, SIP-based ITSPs (eg Callcentric) and the Obitalk network.

The opening post by azrobert in this thread is about using the combination of the GV capabilities of an OBi20x device and the PSTN capabilities of an OBi110 to accomplish what the OBi110 was previously able to do.

Nevertheless if you wish to proceed with the OBi200 plus OBiLINE, you configure that exactly the same as you apparently successfully did some time ago with your OBi110.  When you boot the OBi200 with the OBiLINE plugged in, you will have a LINE port under 'Physical Interfaces' just as there was with the OBi110.  You configure GV on the OBi200 in exactly the same way as on the OBi110.  You configure Callcentric on the OBi200 exactly the same way as you did for the OBi110.  You configure any forwarding, digit maps etc exactly the same as before.

What azrobert posted is of absolutely no relevance to configuring OBi200 plus OBiLINE.

Or you could keep using only the OBi110 by paying the one-time US$6 fee for the Simonics GV Gateway (SIP) and reconfiguring your OBi110 to connect to GV via that.  Hundreds of other people have done that.  Details at http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=13147.0

Simonizer:
Thank you for your great advice on porting the obi1xx through the obi2xx

I followed your instructions and the outgoing calls using the obi1xx are completing without issue, but the incoming calls are going to the GV voicemail after a number of rings, but aren't ringing on the obi1xx

Anything that I might need to change beyond what you mentioned here?

As an aside, I found that you needed to configure the obi1xx on GV and have it fail before you can configure the gateway through the obi2xx because otherwise it din't see the obi1xx as an active device
