How do I disable the obitalk portal from administering my obi202? Do I "Delete Device" on the device configuration page? Changing OBITalk Service Settings -> Enable to off on the device is unsuccesful. It appears to be over-ridden by the portal.
I don't know if that is the best way but it isn't the only way.
Leave the device registered with OBiTalk. Log into the device's local web server, click on System Management, Click on Auto Provisioning, go down to the OBiTalk Provisioning section, on the Method line untick the default box and select Disabled from the pull down choices. Go to the bottom of the page, click submit, click OK and then reboot.

That is correct from the view of the Obi but not from the view of the portal. If you disable it in the admin screen, say on Feb 6 and do nothing else for a week, the Obi will stop updating itself from the portal. True. But if you go into the portal on say Feb 28 and make even a simple change, as soon as you click "Save" it will write over any changes that you may have entered thru the admin screens between the 6th and the 28th. It may seem like semantics but the only way to fully get rid of the portal control is to delete the entry from the portal. Of course, from then on you don't have remote access to to your Obi which can come in handy sometimes.

Correction, then you would need to configure a static IP or some sort of dynamic DNS service and your Obi's web interface to give you external access so you can remotely control/view the status of your obi.

Yep, that would be the technically correct way to state that. :)

That's not what I found when I did some experiments in the last few minutes. On the OBiTalk portal I can change the Webpage Admin password and the Timezone, click on "Save" and despite the "Configuration has been updated successfully." message on the portal there is no affect on my Obi. Even after I reboot it the password I need to login locally is still what it was and System Status, System Time is still showing the correct time.
