If you have an ATA186 that was previously used with a provider that password protected the configuration options, you will can clear the ATA186 of the password and reconfigure the device itself. This is good if you want to experiment with trying to make two connections from one ATA186 to another.

DO NOT perform this procedure if you are using the ATA186 with a currently connected provider. You WILL lose ALL configuration information for that provider, and will have to re-enter the information again in order to restore your service. I have included instructions that MAY work for re-enabling the ATA186 to use with Vonage, but keep in mind it will only work to restore your Vonage service.

TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU HAVE VONAGE OR YOU MAY HAVE TO CALL THEM FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RESTORE YOUR SERVICE.

Also, keep in mind if you use this procedure, and then restore your previous connection settings, the original settings from your provider will overwrite anything you may have changed, and the box will once again be password protected with the information that is required for your service.
-----------

The following procedure will reset the ATA to its default config:

a) Take the phone off hook.
b) The red button on the top of the ATA-186 will illuminate.
c) Press the illuminating red button on the ATA and dial 322873738#. (The numbers spell FACTRESET# on the telephone)
d) Voice prompt will ask you to dial * to save changes you have just made.
e) Press * on your phone's keypad.
f) Hang up the phone.

-------------------------

To get to the ATA186 web configuration page, go to »ipaddress/dev -- So if your router assigned your ATA186 an IP address of 192.168.1.100, you would go to »192.168.1.100/dev

To try and restore Vonage service, plug the following information in to the configuration page:

UseTFTP: 1
TFTP Url: Try either 12.144.47.24 or 64.157.171.150
Encrypt Key: 1

Click Apply. Then wait about a minute. Check to see if your dialtone has returned.

Keep in mind, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I strongly suggest you DO NOT try this if you have currently active service on your ATA186. Since I cancelled my Vonage line, I have no way of verifying if this procedure for restoring the service will work or not.

Hope this helps anyone that was curious as to how to do it.

Codec Information

Codec is short for code/decode.

MSDN defines a codec as:
A list of "instructions," known as an algorithm, which programs such as encoders and players use to compress and decompress data. In the case of digital media content, codecs are used to decrease the content's file size and bit rate, or the amount of data in kilobits per second that are required to render audio and video content. With smaller file sizes and lower bit rates, digital media content can be stored and streamed over a network more easily.

You may also see an error message in Windows Media Player (WMP) that says "Error downloading Codec." WMP tries to download the right codec if you try to play a video for which you don't have a codec installed on your system. If you are behind a firewall or router, WMP may not be able to connect to the Microsoft server to automatically grab the right one. You may be able to resolve this issue by temporarily disabling your firewall. WMP may also not be able to download the right codec if it cannot determine the internal format of the movie file.

One solution is to visit a site such as The Nimo Codec Homepage where you can download a huge file that will install a variety of different codecs on your system. Once you have done this, you should have no trouble playing movie files in the future.

Other useful sites for codecs include:
•MS Codecs Download Package
•MovieCodec.com
•dBpowerAMP
•Free Codecs

How to configure Sipura 2100 behind router

This is a quote from the Sipura 2100 FAQ:

I connect my SPA-2100 to another router which gives out 192.168.0.x IP address.

Please realize that the LAN IP address of SPA-2100 has an IP address of 192.168.0.1, and it will provide DHCP addresses on that subnet. If you have another router that this SPA connects to, be sure that the router does not assign the same subnet of 192.168.0. Otherwise it will cause a conflict with SPA-2100.

Solution change your router to give out IP addresses on a different subnet, i.e: 192.168.10.

Alternatively, you can change SPA-2100's LAN IP address also and its DHCP assignment. To connect to the SPA at this state: unplug the WAN connection, and reboot the SPA. Connect your PC to the LAN port, then to connect to »192.168.0.1 and make the above suggested change.

FIOS/Viatalk with Actiontec router and PAP2T

Actiontec default settings for it's ports is 100 speed Full Duplex. The PAP2T (and most VoIP equipment) is set to use 10 Half Duplex. If both were set to Auto this would be fine, but they're not. Set the Actiontec to Auto and things should work OK! Or if you know how, set the PAP2T to Full Duplex.
