| Looking for good ATA (VOIP) Hello,
I am looking to purchase ATA for my VOIP service.
What would you recommend, what is popular\affordable now?
What is the difference between Gateway\Router ATA and ATA with only one port, adapter only?
What is the best place to buy?
Thank you! |
|
| I have one of these i will sell you:
»www.bridgat.com/linksys_spa2102_···231.html |
|
| Price is?
How old is it?
Is it better then Cisco SPA112 ? |
|
| The SPA2102 has been replaced by the SPA122. The SPA112 is a SPA122 without a built-in router. I can vouch for the SPA112, it's a great little unit. |

Maybe ask on the VOIP Tech Chat forum. Alot of the posters there recommend the Obihai Voip Routers: obi100 / obi110 / obi202:

I might get this today as well:
»www.canadacomputers.com/product_···d=045506
Is this good price ?
This one doesn't have router or anything, it should be connected to switch\router, correct? like HT701?

I've had a lot of stupid little annoying issues with the SPA112s I have here at the shop. They works the majority of the time, but it's nowhere near as reliable as the SPA2100 I have at home.
I have an Obi202 sitting on my shelf to replace one of the SPA112s we have deployed, I just haven't had the downtime to do it. |

SPA122 i would like to try, if it doesn't work well or it starts giving me issues i can always return it back to the store in the first 15 days or so.
I would have to connect SPA122 to my router correct?

For some reason on the image it says ATA with Router. (Not sure what it means for ATA)

Is this ATA Locked or Unlocked? I was reading on some sites i found on google, some ppl say its important that ata is unlocked.
What is the difference, could you or somebody else please explain.
In case this ATA is not unlocked, can i unlock it?

| Locked is the exact same idea as a cell phone. You buy (or are given it) it from a company, and can only use it with that specific company.
Unlocked means you are free to use it with anyone you chose.
If you buy the SPA112 or SPA122 from a place like Canada Computers it will most certainly be unlocked. If you buy it from Fleabay or Kijiji you're taking the word of the seller as true. |

I got an Obi about 2 weeks ago. Love it. Works perfectly with the service that I have for VOIP. |

I'd agree, it's slow but...you can turn it off and just configure it locally if you want. |

Could this be the problem for you too?

From the post (forum)
" The reboot was caused by the SPA112 trying to update it's firmware from the PBX server.
Setting the Upgrade Enable to No has stopped the device rebooting, and it has now been up for 4 days + "

Thats the one I got worked good for me the last year. Think it was 55 bucks at canada computers. I like the idea of a 2nd line you can do with it.
op if you already got a router and just want it for the home phone you don't need one with a router built in. One the one or two ports thing will with 2 ports you can have two phone number. Exp you can have your home phone on one port and a business phone on the other port. |

»www.obihai.com/features-and-set-up.html
Shouldn't Obi be connected to Router\Switch, and phone to Obi, thats it?
Noob here for VOIP, i have it for couple of days only.
