Product Description

Inexpensive, easy to install and simple-to-use, the SPA2102 connects a standard telephone or fax machine to IP-based data networks. VoIP service providers can offer residential and business users traditional and enhanced communication services via the customer's broadband connection to the Internet.

The SPA2102 features two POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) ports to connect existing analog phones, fax machines, or to a PBX system. The SPA2102 includes 2 100BaseT RJ45 Ethernet interfaces (LAN-WAN) to connect to a home or office LAN, as well as an Ethernet connection to a broadband modem or router (WAN). Each SPA2102 service line can be independently configured via software controlled by the service provider or the end user.

Works well with Gizmo5 and Google Voice. Easy to configure. There are only 4 things you have to change in the options page, so don't worry about the 200 other option fields for advanced users. The configuration below is from the Gizmo5 support page. I only changed the lines below where I've added an astrisk:

SIP Settings

* Display Name (your Gizmo5 user name)

* Proxy Server (Host): proxy01.sipphone.com

Proxy Server (IP): 198.65.166.131

Registration Server: proxy01.sipphone.com

* SIP Port (UDP): 5060

STUN Server: stun01.sipphone.com

STUN Port: 3478

* User ID: 17471115555 (replacing with your 1747)

Auth ID: 17471115555 (replacing with your 1747)

* Password: (your gizmo5 password)

The Gizmo5 link for configuration is below.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent adapter for the tech-savvy - helps eliminate DTMF troubles, March 5, 2009

This adapter is excellent for those tech-savvy enough to configure.

Echo cancellation and jitter buffer work well.

The latest firmware allows you to increase the DTMF detection timing so that talkoff (spurious DTMF) can pretty much be eliminated. Currently, this can't be done using a PAP2T-NA adapter. This setting is under "Admin -> Voice -> Advanced -> Line1/Line2 -> DTMF Tx Strict Hold Off Time".

If your VOIP provider supports it, then T38 faxing works fairly well, with adjustable redundancy levels.

I've tried many other adapters and always had trouble, this is the only one I'll buy from now on. Anyone interested in a used PAP2T? :)

This works well, and was easy to set up. I just followed the directions from the VOIP provider I chose (callcentric), changed a few settings, and that was it. Worked immediately. Haven't had any problems with it.

I'm sure if you know everything about VOIP, you could change all sorts of other settings (there are hundreds), and do clever stuff - but I just wanted this for a simple, cheap phone line.
