Proper settings when using the 202 in bridge mode before router?

Does the echo test work? Dial **9 222 222 222. Does it answer and can you hear your own voice coming back to you?
Yes, the echo test works on both outgoing lines (GV and Voip.ms).
That is nonsense. When you dial **9 222 222 222 the echo test does not use either GV or Voip.ms.
Ok, but when I dialed out on each phone connected to each line in the Obi, the echo test worked.

You don't understand how OBis work. A phone port is not rigidly assigned to a Voice Service. Either phone port can make a call on any of the Voice Services. No matter which phone port you use, when you dial **9 followed by 9 digits the call goes to an Obihai server, not via any of your other Voice Services.
Anyway, that the echo test worked means there is no need for further investigation on that tack.

Gotcha. Sorry, I stated it wrong.
To provide an update and confuse matters more, after more test calls, recent outgoing calls from both lines started working again just now. But I'm sure that won't be the case long term. Before I posted on this forum, I thought I had it working correctly for a full day, but then suddenly either certain calls wouldn't ring in when people called or dialing out didn't work.
Studly:
Update for today: I'm having problems with incoming calls again to GV, which are then forwarded to CallCentric. So it seems both outgoing and incoming calls may work for a while and then one or the other doesn't work again for a while. It's really sporadic.
Since nothing else has worked, I'd like to try putting the Obi in front of the router again, in bridge mode, but wanted to double check the correct settings and connections. Not sure I did it correctly when I tried it previously.

In bridge mode the two ethernet ports on an OBi202 behave identically.
So if both ports on the Obi work the same in bridge mode, should it work for me to connect either port to my modem and the other port to the downstream router? Other than doing the phone keypad commands to put my Obi in bridge mode, are there any other settings I need to change to make the Obi work properly in bridge mode?

No you cannot do that.
In bridge mode the OBi202 is a 3 port ethernet switch. Two ports are the ethernet jacks and the third one is the internal connection to 202's VoiP stuff.
You can only connect one ethernet address to most modems. You use a router, not a switch, to use more than one. That is basic IP networking, not a limitation of the OBi202.
