Product Description

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.

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

By	D. Schumann "trask768" (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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? :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, August 23, 2009

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.

By	Artur E. F. Silva (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Linksys SPA2102 Voip Phone adapter with Router is an amazing product. It works very well as it is supposed to do. My two voip's lines work fantastic, the sound is clear and I have excellent phone calls on it. Also, my internet speed is not disturbed when I am in a phone call. Easy to set up. I love this device! I strongly recommend it.
