I know the line port works, or at least it does when the power is off.
The power-off situation tells you almost nothing about the health of the Obi212, There is a relay in the OBi212. When power is on that relay connects the two jacks to the internal circuitry. When there is no power, the relay is de-energised and its contacts switch over and provide a direct metallic connection between the two jacks. Making or answering a call when via the LINE jack is not done by operating that relay.

I second azrobert's suggestion to use your OBi110 to act as a POTS line to do a test. If your Obi110 is still configured for GV that is really easy to do. As of a few minutes ago one of my OBi110s with official 2886 firmware was connecting to GV no problem.
Connect the 110 PHONE jack to the 212 LINE jack. Phone plugged in to the 212 PHONE jack. Ethernet cable from router into 110's ethernet jack. (If more convenient you can use the existing one to the 212 as the 212 doesn't need a network connection for the test. Nothing plugged in to 110's LINE jack.)
Power up the two OBis, wait for the 110's Power LED to be steady green and its PHONE LED to be steady green.
Use your cellphone to call your GV number. PHONE LED on 110 should start flashing. Phone should ring. If it does, try to answer. Does the ringing stop? Is the call connected?

The OBi212's ethernet cable must be disconnected, otherwise the OBi212 will receive the GV call.
If GV isn't defined on the OBi110, here is another method.
The OBi110 must be added to OBiTalk.
Connect a cable from the OBi110 phone port to the OBi212 FXO port.
Change the OBiTalk inbound route on the OBi110:
Voice Services -> OBiTalk Service -> InboundCallRoute: aa(0)
Dial **9200123456 on the OBi212
Replace 200123456 with the OBi number of the OBi110
Let it ring once and hang up.
The OBi110's Auto Attendant's callback feature will ring the phone port and the OBi212 via FXO port.

Obviously, both the 110 and 212 need to be connected to the network for this one.

I'll look this when I get home. I don't mind tinkering with OBI212 as it's NOT working but I'm usually not too certain about tinkering with a device that's working.
I deleted my OBI110 from OBITALK and when I tried to add it back, it didn't complete the Google Registration due to being out dated or something.
Is there a way I can register it on OBITALK without adding the Google voice account, and then simply doing a test call (using my computer) with the OBI 110 number to ring the output of the 110, which would be plugged into the 212???
Also, on a side note I noticed that the default settings of the OBI110 don't always match the default settings of the 212. I tried making them look the same on 212 but that didn't fix it so I revereted to defaults again but kept the settings the soft of work on the 212.
In general if you delete an OBI device, and add it, does it revert to the default settings?
