Google Voice Manual Config
azrobert:
I suppose you are mostly correct and I'm being a little melodramatic about this. Anybody using the Web interface already knows how to turn provisioning on/off, so they can make temporary changes locally. You are SOL if you need to make GV changes. OBihai gave use 2 options to configure our devices. They should continue to support both options. Hopefully in the future they will add GV OAUTH 2.0 to the Web interface.
I stand by my statement that OBihai is forcing me to use the dashboard. Maybe I should have added a qualifier "If I want to continue using my OBI", but I think that is implied.

The "I hate the portal and how dare Obihai update my firmware" attitude is really no longer realistic. The firmware is solid.
I believe the opposite is true. Have you already forgotten the incident not yet six months ago in which an update broke units using the Oleg Method? While I understand that mistakes happen and sometimes software bugs aren't detected until they're released to the public, if anything the above incident indicates that it is even more important to disable OBiTALK and auto firmware updating, at least for mission-critical devices.
As for me, it looks as if 1.3.0 (Build: 2824) will be the last update I'll make. Upgrading disables a feature I like, which is the ability to configure Google Voice without OBiTALK. If I upgrade, I'll not only lose that ability, but also the ability to downgrade to firmware that works the way I want it to.

There is no rule you must purchase and use an OBiHai product.
That's not a realistic attitude. I've already purchased an Obihai product - four of them in fact. I do not consider it unreasonable that I want them to continue perform as they did when I bought them.

Do this:
Open your web browser. Log into the Google account you want to use with GV and your OBi (by "log in", I mean sign into any Google app, such as Gmail or Google Voice or Hangouts, so that your browser's session cookies are showing Google that you are logged into the account).....................................
A word of caution when updating and allowing the new GV settings; if you manage multiple devices.
My sister tells me she got a email from Obihai because she recently reset her google password. I told her "you can't do that without telling me, I will take care of it" (Obi110).
I logged in to her Obitalk and of course it prompted for the upgrade and new settings which I agreed to. Changed her PW and everything works great. While at Obitalk I logged into my account (Obi202) and upgraded the firmware. Later noticed my Obi says "no service available". I rebooted with no change. I logged into Obitalk and it immediately ask for permissions pertaining to the new GV settings. I agreed, the device rebooted and everything worked great; I thought.
Because I was previously logged into my sister's google account, and evidently didn't log out prior to returning and logging into my Obitalk account, Obitalk used the credentials form the google account I was signed into to configure my Obi. Now all my outgoing calls are used with her GV account and all call logs are in her account also.
My incoming calls were not affected because they come in through Callcentric via sip configuration. Her Obi continues to work fine. Her incoming calls also come from Callcentric or I guess I would also be receiving her incoming google calls.
I cannot attempt to fix it because the Obitalk portal is down. I can make the changes directly on the device but we know now that after the upgrade those settings are not effective.

I do confirm that after configuring google voice, I can now turn off auto-provisioning and the Obi keeps running.
Can you also disable OBiTALK Service?
I have another question, just based on my curiosity: if you look at the SPx Service for your Google Voice account, do you see anything relevant there? In other words, once OBiTALK generates the OAuth credentials, could you copy/paste them to another device?
Yes, you can disable auto-provisioning and Obitalk, which I have done. Looking at the local web configuration, there is nothing you can grab and copy. But I think the password line has always been empty. The password is stored internally, just not displayed in the configuration. However, in the past your google credentials could be entered and were sufficient for the connection to succeed.

RE:
"once in a while the network light start flashing like crazy"
My resolution of this problem was not intuitive, in as much as the problem would repeat in spite of
numerous reboots, then magically disappear for weeks at a time.
I accidentally noticed both SP1 and SP2 used the same Stun server and port.
Changed one server, and port, just to be certain, and problem disappeared.
Thanks for the tip. I checked and STUN is disabled on SP1 and SP2. While the port number is set and identical, no STUN server is configured. I do not think this is the issue.
