OBI200 No Dial Tone

Yep.  It's dead, likely a result of plugging it into premises phone wiring that had other active telephone service still connected.

prior to my issues, I had a phone line from the OBI200 to a phone distribution system and then to the phone.

From the Quick Start Guide that came with your OBi200 (and available at https://www.obitalk.com/info/documents/qsg/obi-200-qsg-enus.pdf ):

"Important: Only an analog telephone or fax machine should be connected to the OBi PHONE port. Do not
connect a cable from the PHONE port to a telephone jack powered by the phone company. Doing so may
cause damage to the OBi electronics."

Steve,

Thanks for taking the time to help me.  Much appreciated.  Its dead for some other reason, I haven't had other telephone service for years and this system is isolated from that anyway.

thanks again,
Gary

Well, if you are so sure that it was some other reason you'll have no hesitation to connect a replacement OBi in the same way to that "phone distribution system".
