Re: ATA Hardware
I have a KTA2110 chinese brand; what ever that means, I know its an unknown brand, but I was looking through the user manual and it has similar features. The problem I am having is that I can't get past the ata on my computer, has a local IP address, on to the internet. The wan light lights up and blinks occasionally, the way normal ethernet runs. I can't login to the ata, no matter what password I use(the ones in the manual or the account password and usernames respectively). I would like to put the ata in bridge mode so I can use my current router. I am going to have to ask the provider for the username and password as it seems not to be the default.
About the crossover cable, my dsl modem (westell 2100) had dhcp built in, but with out a router,(when I connect a computer directly to the modem, I can never get the comp on the internet with out a router. I think I still might need a crossover cuz the manual mentions something about it |

If the router you mentioned is configured with PPPoE for the WAN connection, then your DSL modem is not configured to dial the PPPoE connection automatically. Which means your ATA will have to be configured that way. I suggest you ask your VoIP provider how to do that. |

Hi,
If you don't mind my asking, I'm a bit curious. Why did you select the KTA2110 over say a PAP2, or PAP2T ATA? Was it significantly cheaper? Did it offer features you couldn't find in other devices?
I recently started to use VOIP, and when looking at the forum, it became clear that some devices were common and could be supported by this forum, others were not. I elected to put my $50 down on a PAP2T. I'd be interested in the purchase thoughts of someone who made a different decision.
Thanks!

In this case, please check your router configuration and see if it's configured with a PPPoE to register to your ISP. If so, then your aDSL modem has been configured in a transparent bridge mode (which is good) and any device that connects to your aDSL modem ought to be configured with a PPPoE connection.
