Spa3102 lan setup

Web server will be accessible from both ports on this IP address. LAN port yellow will be used only during initial configuration. Configuring SPA The configuration information below is based on firmware version 5. Before we proceed, please make sure that your SPA is powered on and that you have an ethernet RJ45 cable connected with one end to your PC and the other end to the yellow port on the back of the SPA Default IP address of Linksys is Once you have verified this, please continue configuring your device with the instructions below.

Click on WAN setup. Enable WAN web server. Click on Submit all changes. Turn off SIP registration we do not need it. Enable making and answering calls without registration. In audio configuration choose Audio codec which should be used with intercom and use only this codec.

If you would like to control relay of intercom, set up DTMF tx method as well. If there is a problem with detecting disconnect tone, you can detect silence as well. If you are using an old modem lead, be aware that some are 2-wires straight through may work , some 4-wires straight through will work and some 2-wires crossed over rare, but will not work. An RJ11 plug to BT master socket adaptor with ring capacitor, eg. Maplins code VD36P. The capacitor is important.

It stores a small amount of charge which is released in two short bursts to create a ring-ring sound. Originally, this burst was enough to cause an electric motor, or a lever attached to an electromagnet, to strike a bell. UK BT telephone lines have remained with this system, and BT compatible telephones will not ring unless they receive this burst of charge- even though their ring is electronic rather than a motorised bell!

Your BT master wall socket contains a capacitor, but the effect of this is lost when you go through the SPA, because your phones are no longer directly connected to the master socket at the wall- the SPA is a little telephone exhange in its own right!

Without the capacitor, you can still make and receive calls, but the phones will never ring. Note the difference between the "BT master wall socket" the place where the phoneline comes in to your house and the "BT master socket adaptor" a short wire with an RJ11 plug at one end and a BT socket with a capacitor in it at the other.

We are going to do this bit with it turned off. Plug the master socket adaptor eg. Plug your BT phone s into the master socket adaptor. Check to make sure your SPA is turned off unplugged from the mains.

Lift the phone handset. You should hear a dial tone. Try calling a telephone number, such as your mobile or BT chargecard automated service. If this doesn't work, your cabling is wrong. Use a mobile phone to ring your normal home landline number.

Your landline phone should ring as normal. If this doesn't work, most likely you are using a secondary adaptor no ring capacitor instead of a master adaptor with ring capacitor. If you're desperate, you can use a spare ADSL filter to convert a secondary adaptor into a master adaptor.

Pick up the ringing phone and talk to yourself. Due to echo cancellation on modern BT exchanges, you may have to tap the receiver or do some heavy breathing ooh-er in order to hear yourself. Do not proceed any further until you are certain that your phone cabling is correct.

The next sections talk about configuring your SPA settings. Until this is fully completed, which may take about half an hour, you won't be able to make or receive calls through the SPA in the manner you'd normally expect.

Therefore: If you have a spouse, children, housemates or anyone else likely to want to make or receive landline phonecalls for the next half hour or so, disconnect your SPA from the master socket, extensions and phones. Check that you can ring in and get a dial tone as normal.

I am going to assume this is not the case for your domestic situation. I am going to assume that you already have an existing, working, separate broadband router that you wish to continue using. By default this only works for the Ethernet LAN socket. If you are not using another existing broadband router, changing this is unsafe, and could give everyone access to your VOIP router, including allowing hackers to make calls on your phone bill and allowing hackers to get access to your computer network.

You may have noticed that the sockets on the SPA are colour-coded and that the indicator lights change colour between red, green and orange.

Since like one in twelve white males, I am colour-blind red-green colour vision deficient , I will not be referring to these colours. Connect your computer to the SPA 's Ethernet socket. You can do this either directly, using a crossover cable easiest way or indirectly, through your existing network.

Change your computer's IP address to The gateway can be whatever you like, such as Connect your SPA to the mains power and check that some lights, any lights, turn on.

Don't ask me what colour. Use a web browser to You should see the Linksys Phone Adapter Configuration page. If not, your SPA may be using a different IP address and netmask - see the documentation in the box to find out what. For instance, on my networks all computers are This will mean that the log files and last call details have the correct date and time. Don't worry about this otherwise. If you have used a crossover cable, remove it and connect your computer back to the LAN again.

Check that you can still access the Internet. Remove the cable from the SPA's Ethernet socket. You should see the configuration page again. You should not need to use the Ethernet socket again. Well, the bad news is there are lots of other differences, such as the pitch of the dialling tone, and the SPA, despite being shipped with a British mains plug, has factory defaults of the USA. So we'll be spending some time reconfiguring it to sound and act like a British telephone line.

Bear in mind that the dialling tone and ringing tones you'll eventually get when everything is done, will NOT be generated by your local BT telephone exchange like it is now. The SPA will generate its own ring tone, its own dial tone, its own call waiting tone, everything.

It'll only connect to your BT line when it needs to, such as an incoming call. So in order for your existing BT telephone handsets to work, and more importantly, your wife not to complain about the phone doing odd stuff, we need to make sure it acts as much like a BT line as possible.

Other settings were taken from the Voxilla. Thank-you all. If you intend to use the SPA to do more advanced things such as voicemail or call redirection, you'll probably want this to be Yes, but that's beyond the scope of this document.

If you intend to use the SPA to do more advanced things such as voicemail or call redirection, you'll probably want a shorter value, but that's beyond the scope of this document. If you've unplugged the SPA from your phoneline and handsets, plug it back in. If this doesn't work, try unplugging the power to the SPA If it works when the SPA is off, the problem is with your configuration.

If it doesn't work when the SPA is off, the problem is with your cabling. Once everything works, we are now ready to start routing calls over the internet. This means that lots of companies can all use the same protocol. This is also the protocol that your SPA uses. Most of them will have rates far cheaper than BT.

Google for "voip sip calls" and pick one that has the cheapest rates for the destinations or types of call you make most often. For example, my wife makes a lot of 01 and 02 calls, but I occasionally call my sister in Holland.

Remember that BT's national and local landline calls are pretty cheap even on the cheapest tarrif. Many VOIP companies offer bundled, inclusive or free landline minutes for a period if you spend a certain amount, so pick one of those. Some examples to get you started: WebCallDirect. Some providers may take this in Euros or US Dollars. I currently use WebCallDirect, so I will be using this in my configuration examples. These can usually be found on the FAQ or technical support pages.

Some providers will allow you to use your own telephone number, as well as and instead of your username, to log in, so that your Caller ID will be shown to people you call. This is required in order for your name to show up as the caller when you ring your friend's mobile phone, for instance. If you do not do this, your Caller ID will probably be withheld, and people you ring won't know that it is you who is calling. You may need to do some special kind of registration with your VOIP provider to confirm that you really do own that phone number.

For example, WebCallDirect require you to download and run their MS-Windows application and use the account settings options to confirm your phone number with a test call. Once you've done this, you don't need to use the downloaded application ever again - which is good as far as I'm concerned, as I use Linux most of the time.

This is not the case for us, as we want to route , , and calls via BT still. Also we may, at a later date, want to route different calls via more than one VOIP SIP provider one may be cheaper for UK calls, another cheaper for international calls. Therefore ignore any instructions that tell you to fill in the Proxy and Registration section, as this will route all calls via that provider by default!
