| CYT Device: Unlocking Information
I wanted to start a new thread here to help those who have a CYT-device and are trying to unlock and reuse it.
There are many CYT-flavored (TI AR7 chipset) devices.
Here are a few we know about:
- Linksys WRTP54G - 2 phone ports, 4 port router, wireless
- Linksys RTP300 - 2 phone ports, 4 port router
- Linksys PAP2 v2.0- 2 phone ports
- Vtech IP8100 - Cordless SIP phone with base
- Motorola VT2442 - 2 phone ports, 4 port router
- D-Link VTA-VR - 2 phone ports
- Linksys WAG54GP2 - 2 phone ports, DSL router
At this point, the cyt-unlocker being discussed in other threads will attempt to 'unlock' the device by changing the supervisor (Admin) password. The tool will also change all SIP settings to a generic default, making it ready for configuration by you.
As with many of these tricks, if you happen to factory reset the device, (most of the time) you will return all of the locked settings. This includes the factory setting of the Admin password.. it will be locked.
So, if you need to factory reset the device, just run the cyt-unlocker tool after the factory reset to re-unlock the device.
For those who are currently registered customers with a VoIP provider, this tool will not retain any of your account settings! In other words: do not use this tool if you are subscribing to a phone service! The device you are unlocking should not be registered with any service.
Current Version is: cyt 3.0 for Windows*
*See release notes in that file for currently supported devices.
As more devices are released with this chipset, newer versions will follow. From what I have heard, there has been talk about a web site going online to offer cleaner distribution of future updates.
The best support for owners of these devices is to use forums like this one. |

| To add more to the above, please read this CYT Device Unlock FAQ. Thi is a a must to read if you own a Linksys PAP2 v2.0 and/or a DLink VTA-VR device.
Credits go to cron for the FAQ.

| I know it sounds stupid, and I've read about 2 hours through the various threads and haven't found the answer.
How do I obtain the IP Address of the PAP2 so that I can login while running CYT30 if I'm connecting between my PC and the PAP2 with a autosensing ethernet switch (as defined in the readme).
If I connect the PAP2 to my router, disconnecting the modem/Internet connection, then I can see the PAP2 IP address, can login to its web page, and can ping it. Attempts to run CYT30 in this configuration don't work, so I started to use the switch as defined in the CYT30 readme. Using the switch I cannot ping 192.168.15.1 or 192.158.1.5 (addresses suggested elsewhere). There is no DHCP, so how is the PAP2 obtaining the IP? |

Manchester, NH | On the pap2 v2.0, there is IVR support.
That is, you can hook a phone to the line1 port and dial *** to get a voice menu.
Once in that menu, dial 110 # to hear your IP address read to you. |

| Thanks rclink; however, since I have flashing power light, when I attach a phone to line 1 or 2 all I get is fast busy. There is no opportunity to access the IVR.
I'm a bit lost on the CYT30 readme, perhaps I just don't understand enough about networking. A switch, to my knowledge, has no methodology (NAT/DHCP) for assigning IP addresses. Thus when the readme is suggesting certain IP addresses, what is setting these? Do I need to install Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the desktop or do I specify for example the suggested IP addresses on the desktop (IPCONFIG?) and in the PAP2 configuration page (which currently is set to obtain IP). If I weren't using a switch and instead simply a cross-over cable I would have the same issue.
I am still able to login to the PAP2v2 by connecting it to my router (after unplugging the modem connection to avoid PAP2 connection to Vonage) and get to the config page. Running CYT30 in this setup (with my DHCP assigned IP) always results in the XML server starting, but nothing ever happens, it never comes back with a completion.
As an FYI, my PAP2 config page has a firmware version number like 1.0.13, yet I constantly see threads with firmware beginning with 3.x; am I missing something? Have I possibly created a door stop by doing a factory reset along the way?
I'm continuing to scan through the various threads on unlocking this beast. Perhaps I should use the original manual method of unlocking and forget about CYT30? |

Factory reset your PAP2v2 and see if that will do the trick. Please don't say you don't know how to factory reset your PAP2v2.

Running CYT30 in this setup (with my DHCP assigned IP) always results in the XML server starting, but nothing ever happens, it never comes back with a completion. Sounds like it is working.. I would suggest that for the duration of using CYT that you disable windows firewall. If you do not, the device can not talk to the CYT tool.
Let us know if that helps. |

| Factory Reset (hold reset button > 20 sec lights blink). Numerous attempts and no change in attempting to reach IVR. Either silence on line, a three rising tone, or fast busy; but no response to any of asterisk button and varying states of the above three states.
Turned off Norton Int Sec completely and no Windows Firewall (as done previously), reset Int Explorer security settings to Low on Internet and Local Low. Logged into PAP2 admin/admin. CYT30 changed to IP address which is used to access. XML server started, but never returns. Factory reset via reset button didn't help. Didn't try just the ethernet switch since obtaining the IP via IVR didn't seem possible. Did try changing PAP2 to hardcode the IP address assigned by router.
Perhaps I'll try CYT30 on another computer tomorrow. |

I was able to utilize another computer and CVT30 completed providing login info as designed. There must be some form of software blocking completion on my primary computer, the successful computer has almost nothing loaded.
I can now access the IVR, obtain IP and even have dialtone.
However, all attempts to login to Update or Voice_admin failed with "Error: User not allowed to login this user level" or "Bad User/Password". I've tried all sorts of combinations, power cycled the PAP2, tried normal login, followed by the /update page with no success (noting that it accepts the factory user/password at just the IP home page) and tried rerun CVT30 (all with internet diconnect). I'll keep trying... |

| Thanks mazilo & rcilink, I'm in and able to use Internetcalls.com for callout. Trying to determine SIP inbound and whether it will work. Obtained copy of xml file with provisioning. Hoping to try skype using the SIP intermediary tool. Hoping to figure out best CODECs since Internetcalls has bad echo for callee, as others have mentioned. Tried setting Echo Cancellation, we'll see if that helps. |

I'm trying to see if the CYT has been able to Unlock a VTec 8100. BB had them on clearance here for $40 for the 8100-2, and I would like to get them configured for my Asterisk Box.
Every time I try it, i get the message that I must be logged into the unit. I'm logged in, and have it pointing to the correct address, but still no luck getting it to reset the information. Any help would be great. I can even help test the unlocking if that is also a possibility. |

Re: CYT Device: New Release : v3.3+ includes Motorola vt2442 !!
It looks like a new version of CYT is ready for release..
News about this release:
- Includes support for Motorola VT2442 (and similar ?) units.
Who knows.. maybe it will just work with D-Link VTA-VR too? |
