back it up

When I had CV, I found that even a blink on the power line caused the system to ask for the 911 re-verification. It was getting annoying until I plugged the ATA into a small UPS. Problem solved.

Re: back it up

I have ATA and my router on a UPS. I'm good for about 20 mins run time. Thanks for the comments...

911 verification and UPS

If your ATA loses power and reboots, you will have to confirm your location, and I agree that it's an annoyance. However, you can do that on the phone, as well. Make an outbound call, and when the announcement is finished, you can press "1" to indicate you've not moved, or "8" to indicate that you have moved. You do not have to log in to your user portal to un-block outbound calls.

That being said, I will strongly confirm Lenagainster See Profile's advice of putting your ATA on a UPS. Even the least expensive one you can buy will keep your ATA up during the really short power blips that are most common. If you get a slightly higher capacity one that has at least 3 outlets, you can connect your cable (or DSL) modem and your router, and you'll maintain phone service during the power interruptions, as well...
