For Pap2 there's no specification, so probably doesn't have the dual capability.
An interesting remark also pointed out by sipcpe on his post here where Vonage supplied a PAP2v1 with a 110VAC adapter. OTOH, all my PAP2v1 units, bought from local BestBuy, Office Depot, and Staples, come with a 100-240VAC 50-60 Hz adapter.
Mine also I have unlocked dozens PAP2v1 of them and all have had 100-240VAC to 5VDC adapters. I like the PAPv1 Adapter because it can be easily converted to other plug patterns by, unclipping the US connector and clipping on the other country's connector. I believe Mouser Electronics has the the adapter clips for the other countries. The PAPV2 has a 120VAC to 12VDC.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17989066 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:17:00 EDT Re: VoIP - PAP2 users in Hong Kong? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17951850 redshift : I'm referring to the Pap2(v2), which is the one which my friend used.

The Vonage ATA definitely does not come with a dual voltage power adaptor....
As I mentioned before, all my Linksys/Vonage PAP2v1 units come with a 100-240VAC power adapter. I gave one to a friend and he just plugged into a 220VAC outlet in his house with a socket adapter and the PAP2v1 got connected/registered to some pre-configured VoSPs.

OTOH, as pointed out by DogFace05, the Linksys/Vonage PAP2v2 unit comes with a 120VAC power adapter. This power adapter looks similar to the one comes with Linksys/Vonage WRTP54G VoIP WiFi router.

There's no such thing as a "Vonage ATA". Over the years, Vonage have supplied various adapters from Linksys, D-Link and Motorola, all with different capabilities and features. The PAP2v1 (as well as the PAP2T) always has come with a 110-240V universal power supply from the factory. Is it possible that Vonage may have supplied some customers with used PAP2s and non-factory 120V-only supplies. Perhaps, who knows? But it is certainly not the norm. The PAP2v2, on the other hand, comes with a single-voltage 120V PS. A lot of people confuse the two ATA versions because of their shared name, but they are completely different devices with absolutely nothing in common--not even the power supply.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17949056 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 18:20:43 EDT Re: VoIP - PAP2 users in Hong Kong? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17948762 ejrobinson : It depends which ata. I understand the dlink isn't shipped with a dual voltage power supply, and the person who initiated this thread has one of those. I spoke of the first ata, the 186, and the pap2, both of which are shipped with a dual voltage power supply.

So just a power plug adaptor for Asia (2 round prongs) would suffice.

I'm not sure if it is easier, because there are more variables involved (ie the jack for the unit + the voltage output) but in some places it's a lot cheaper to buy this then buying a step down converter...however in HK I think it's just easier to buy the step down converter as their prices are quite reasonable, and if you don't speak Cantonese it can become pretty tricky trying to ask someone a bunch of complicated tech questions.

No need to use Vonage adaptor with a step down converter instead buy a new 220v adaptor ($5) ...
I thought a step-down converter that converts a 220V to 110V is suitable for the power adapter of PAP2v1 to use.

No need to use Vonage adaptor with a step down converter instead buy a new 220v adaptor ($5) just make sure the new power adaptor's voltage output selection options will match your vonage box (ie 12v or 5v output) and the power plug will fit your DC In jack on the Vonage box. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17945273 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 01:58:52 EDT Re: VoIP - PAP2 users in Hong Kong? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17941069 mazilo :

Did you mean HK$15 or US$15? If it is US$15, it sounded like you have been ripped off by this street vendor. :(
