how do I connect a home phone to a router connected to the NBN connected
via FTTP that doesn't have a phone socket? I have a Linksys SPA3102 VOIP adapter, but I think it's only for use with a conventional analog phone
line. My ISP has given me a phone number to use.

I connected it and was able to access the configuration menu, but too
many settings to even contemplate. I thought there might/would be a
simple phone to ethernet adapter to simply connect the phone to the
router. Guess I will just live without a home phone.

There is, the Mitron MV1

While I still have one, all I get now is spam calls

in some place like egypt and need to call me
to get me to cancel their cards etc

Sure, but you need a VoIP provider, and they'll have instructions
for which settings you need to change to work with them. Sounds
like that's your ISP.

Guess I will just live without a home phone.

I prefer living without a mobile, and pretty much have to now that
3G is turned off and 4G coverage is so damn bad. But my land line
is still analogue so that's easy (when the exchange isn't broken).

I'm in the same boat
The solution was I bought a refurbished Telstra "Call Guardian"
Which instantly answers, BUT requires a caller that's not whitelisted
to
Say their name then push the hash key, most spam callers can't speak
English so can't work this out.
My phone won't ring until this is done.

Secondly these phone spamers call a number of people at once and
answer the first pick-up, a lot of them do not have the other phones
they call stop ringing, so when you answer you find it's a dead call.
Advantage is for me when the spammer calls it's computer VoIP program
again my call Guardian is the very first to answer.
They have to remove my number before they can spam again

But seems the spammers have killed the landline rarely rings ever,
when it does it's a REAL call.

Optus seem very good at spammers getting through their mobile network
If one does I report calls and meesages a spam, believe they are then
blocked instantly.

Yes, you can plug your landline phone into a SpinTel router if the
router has an integrated VoIP phone port (often labeled "Phone 1" or
"Tel 1") and a Home Phone service is included and activated on your

had looted my car that I had managed to leave the
passenger's door unlocked after I bought some beer
for a pissup in a drive thru beer place, filling a wheel
barrow with what they could get from cars.

And the hospital checking on me when I had gallstones
and decided not to hang around for 8 hours twiddling
my thumbs before I could do the blood test to see if it
was a heart attack. I knew it was just the gallstones
again so said no thanks and they checked later by
calling me to see if I had carked it.

And on another occasion a mate of mine who did
show up here for a while, had his phone and cards
stolen in egypt and could get the white pages to look
up my landline so I could give him the numbers to
call to get his cards cancelled and replaced.

I prefer living without a mobile, and pretty much have to now that

is still analogue so that's easy (when the exchange isn't broken).

Yes, no NBN out here, but the nearest phone tower's not far away (I
can see it from home) so it shouldn't be a challenge to keep the
mobiles working like they have been for decades. Evidently they
just don't care (Telstra, although presumably Optus is as bad or
worse).

Yes, any standard phone handset will work with VoIP as long as your
hardware supports it. The equipment we sell allows you to use a normal
handset.

From memory that ancient 3102 has 1 fxs and 1 fxo port, you are plugging
your phone into (and configuring) the fxs port I hope :)


also...

Just because some interfaces have 6 pages and 90 options a page, doesnt
mean you have to touch anything more that the basics, if AU supplier, its LOCALE settings shoulds already be default, all YOU have to enter in is:

your LAN settings
SIP server
SIP user
SIP password


optionaly:

check-timezone
DTMF Type rfc2833

codec Primary G722, secondary A-Law (maybe called PCMA or G711.A)
(ignore anyones insistance upon ulaw, thats for yankies... and Japanese)

dial-plan (saves waiting for timeouts or pushing hash)

if AU supplier, its
LOCALE settings shoulds already be default, all YOU have to enter in is:

your LAN settings
SIP server
SIP user
SIP password

Spintel provide basic settings, but they don't jive with the labels on
the ATA's setup page

optionaly:

check-timezone
DTMF Type rfc2833

codec Primary G722, secondary A-Law (maybe called PCMA or G711.A)
(ignore anyones insistance upon ulaw, thats for yankies... and Japanese)

dial-plan (saves waiting for timeouts or pushing hash)

Thanks for the help. I had reset it to default settings to remove
whatever the previous ISP had put in. I will work on it again when I get
time.

not sure what you mean I'm connecting it as per the instructions. there

you must have different model, not to worry, makes it easier

my bad. there's two. but one is for the copper line which is irrelevant. there's just one for the handset

From memory that ancient 3102 has 1 fxs and 1 fxo port, you are
plugging
your phone into (and configuring) the fxs port I hope :)

not sure what you mean I'm connecting it as per the instructions. there
is only one phone socket on it

you must have different model, not to worry, makes it easier

your LAN settings SIP server SIP user SIP password

Spintel provide basic settings, but they don't jive with the labels on
the ATA's setup page

take a few screenshots and stick em up on pastebin

Hi. this is the opening router screen using admin/advanced login .. https://auslink.info/spa3102/linkys1.png

OK try this, the 3102 has a fuckload more options than the regular pap2t
or sipura phones (sipura/linksys/cisco term all interchangable here)

On the voice tab, select SIP, under SDP payload check G711a, then under
NAT, theres a few "via" options, ensure handle and insert for rport and received are YES, Subsitute VIA adr YES and send Resp to SRC port Yes, keepalive 20 then submit changes.


next select Line 1
NAT mapping and krp alive Yes

under SIP UDP (it always works but if you keep getting errors try TCP)
sip port the usual 5060 and with sip-proxy-require put your sip server address they gave you.

under proxy and registration
proxy = your sip server
make sure register is yes
ensure the Make and Answer without Register are both no


under sunscriber information
user ID is your username and surprise spurprise the password goes
in...... password :)


under audio configuration
preferred codec G711a
sec 729a
third, 711u

then dial plan.

This is one off my spa942 phone it will work sipura/linsys stuff is
identical in this way, I'll pull out some extra segments we have for our
PBX, but if I miss any, it wont affect your dialing, put all this in one
line.


(*xx|000S0|[2-9]xxxxxxxS0|0[2-9]xxxxxxxxS0|01[49]xxxxxxxS0|130xxxxxxxS0|13 [1-9]xxxS0|12[23]xS0|180[01]xxxxxxS0|180[2-9]xxxS0|19[023]xxxxxxS0|1831x.| 0011x.)


now click submit changes

then on PSTN tab change the register to no, then on that pages dial plan remove dial plan 2 if it exists, and insert the above one again,

scroll down to find Line 1 Fall back DP and set to 2
PSTN to voip gateway enable to no

submit changes, reboot and pray

and next time get a simpler ATA to configure, the 3102 is an fxs fxo ATA
and a router in one, its way over complicated for a simple ATA

even the pap2t's are simple as with 1/10th the steps needed :)
no guarantees this still works, this thing is so old I dumped most notes
on it, i found these in an old folder and it looks like igts missing a
page so if it works, I'll be surprised - let us know :)
if it doesnt, there might be other steps and you'll need to keep
searching.

Good luck.

You really are a know-all that knows nothing.
Your phone will conect to a Wifi Router without need for your mobile
to be going

certainly does! I have two old mobiles without sim cards in them that
I leave around the house for convenience to connect to the internet
in case I want to look up something, check email, or answer a
messenger call, etc.,

Pity you were talking about EMERGENCY calls

I was addressing what Petzl said. wasn't talking to you or about what
you said.

saves me having to go looking for my mobile that i never know where
it is, lol.

Trivial to make it ring so you can find it

oh yeah, that makes more sense. get someone to ring my mobile so I can
get up off the chair and go find it rather than use the one right beside me

come to think of of it, they can also be used to-a call 000.

So you dont need voip for an EMERGENCY, fuckit

yes I do if I want to call other than 000, like a friend frinstance, fukwit

You were the one rabbiting on about what you could use
to make an EMERGENCY CALL when the mobile right
beside you couldnt make an EMERGENCY CALL because
that network currently couldnt do EMERGENCY CALLS
and are so stupid that you dont realise that all you have
to do is remove the sim from the mobile beside you so
that it can use any available network to make an EMEGENCY
CALL when the one the sim uses can't make an EMERGENCY
CALL. No need to dig out one of the old phones to do that.
And even you should be able to work out how to call one
of the old mobiles using the mobile beside you instead of
getting one of you mates to call it. And calling one of the
old mobiles wont work if they arent turned on and don't
have an active sim in them anyway, fuckwit

come to think of of it, they can also be used to call 000.

So you dont need voip for an EMERGENCY, fuckwit

Your projecting again.
Yes I mainly bought it to use for international calls
At Time were in "046" area of metro Sydney, which telecom charged 50
cents a minute AU$30 a hour for me to call work,
Only 02 cents AU$2 a hour a minute on Skype which was clearer cleaner
call.
often needed a few hours to sort out problems while at home.

Yours is typical Rod Speed
"self appointed know-all, who knows nothing"
I were in the Fire Brigade most was not putting out fires but help
Ambulances carry stretchers

Reality
Four-person lifts are common for ambulance stretchers to provide
greater stability, especially for immobile or acutely ill patients.
This method ensures proper body support and alignment, crucial for
patients with spinal or other injuries.
For a four-person lift, one person positions themselves at the
patient's shoulders, another at the hips, another at the knees, and a
fourth person places the stretcher beneath the patient.
The team lifts the patient onto the stretcher on a coordinated
command, with individuals supporting different parts of the body.

what screens should i post?

OK try this, the 3102 has a fuckload more options than the regular pap2t
or sipura phones (sipura/linksys/cisco term all interchangable here)

On the voice tab, select SIP, under SDP payload check G711a, then under
NAT, theres a few "via" options, ensure handle and insert for rport and received are YES, Subsitute VIA adr YES and send Resp to SRC port Yes, keepalive 20 then submit changes.

next select Line 1
NAT mapping and krp alive Yes

under SIP UDP (it always works but if you keep getting errors try TCP)
sip port the usual 5060 and with sip-proxy-require put your sip server address they gave you.

under proxy and registration
proxy = your sip server
make sure register is yes
ensure the Make and Answer without Register are both no

under sunscriber information
user ID is your username and surprise spurprise the password goes
in...... password :)

under audio configuration
preferred codec G711a
sec 729a
third, 711u

then dial plan.

This is one off my spa942 phone it will work sipura/linsys stuff is
identical in this way, I'll pull out some extra segments we have for our
PBX, but if I miss any, it wont affect your dialing, put all this in one line.

(*xx|000S0|[2-9]xxxxxxxS0|0[2-9]xxxxxxxxS0|01[49]xxxxxxxS0|130xxxxxxxS0|13 [1-9]xxxS0|12[23]xS0|180[01]xxxxxxS0|180[2-9]xxxS0|19[023]xxxxxxS0|1831x.| 0011x.)

now click submit changes

then on PSTN tab change the register to no, then on that pages dial plan remove dial plan 2 if it exists, and insert the above one again,

scroll down to find Line 1 Fall back DP and set to 2
PSTN to voip gateway enable to no

submit changes, reboot and pray

and next time get a simpler ATA to configure, the 3102 is an fxs fxo ATA
and a router in one, its way over complicated for a simple ATA

even the pap2t's are simple as with 1/10th the steps needed :)
no guarantees this still works, this thing is so old I dumped most notes
on it, i found these in an old folder and it looks like igts missing a
page so if it works, I'll be surprised - let us know :)
if it doesnt, there might be other steps and you'll need to keep
searching.

Good luck.

Thanks. I haven't done anything with this yet. I just got released from
the hospital an hour ago.

What is your experience with Spintel? I'm looking at changing providers,
I was considering Spintel until I saw the unremittingly bad reviews, Now
I'm leaning toward Flip.
