Obi202 expectations from a newbie

Just dial # from either phone port to call the other.
What is the call routing on this? If it is all internal to the Obi, that only tests your local phones and wiring. I was looking more for a call test that went out to a voip server and back so you could use it to tweak your network config. I am assuming that all obi-to-obi calls go thru obihai servers - is that right?.

Yes, it is an internal OBi call.
To call another OBi over OBiTalk network dial **9510123456
510123456 is the OBi Number of the OBi you want to call.
Unfortunately, you cannot call yourself with this method.
Log into OBiTalk with a Web browser that supports WebRTC.
I use Chrome.
Click on the green Call OBi Button.
There should be a speed dial in the drop down menu for your OBi202.
If not, type you OBi Number.
Click Call.

RE: firmware, it's routine that newer firmware is released after products are manufactured and shipped. The latest version of the firmware came out last month. You can easily upgrade the firmware; just read and follow the information in this post (which includes release notes):

RE: testing, you should be able to call the OBi echo test number from your device; that's a sufficient test. Note that the test number goes down periodically, usually over weekends, so don't panic if it doesn't work.
Time to select your ITSP and get it working!

OK, updated the FW ok, and I can ring and connect phone1<->phone2 each way. What I cannot do is get 'Call Obi' to make a successful call. I first tried calling the Obitalk test#.
Calling from my PC, I can hear it ringing on my pc speaker, and after a couple of rings it says "connected", but I do not hear the test message on my PC speaker.
When I call my Obi, the connected handset does not ring.

This is where things diverge from being an appliance to being a hobby. If your OBi device appears on your OBiTALK portal page, and you were able to upgrade the firmware, and you can call the **9 222 222 222 echo test number, then it's ready to use. I suggest that you simply sign up with your ITSP of choice, and use that service, rather than spin your wheels with further testing.
