I just purchased the Linksys Phone Adapter with 2 Ports for
Voice-over-IP.

I intend to try it with the Vonage service, but I'd like to use it with
my own Asterisk PBX as well.

I assume that this is not a Vonage-specific product.

Has anybody out there tried it? Any comments?

The manual is geared towards very naive users, and it doesn't tell me
how to access the phone from a SIP server (username@host.domain?), how
to register, etc.

Thanks for any tips and pointers...

-Ramon F Herrera

ps: the Model is PAP2.

You assume wrong. The box you bought is almost always sold at an
artifically low price, to be made up from the monthly fee you pay
whatever VoIP provider subsidized it, usually Vonage. It's similar to
the $30 cell phone that would cost $200 without a contract for a
year's cell service.

If you want to use Vonage for outside calls from Asterisk, I gather
that it's not hard to reverse engineer the second line softphone that
Vonage offers, but their hardware is rarely cracked.

R's,
John

Google for PAP2-NA and see voxilla.com

It is available "unlocked" but you may find the web interface is
turned off or has an admin password in the Vonage implementation.

PAP2 is very similar to SPA 2000.

Curious minds want to know, How did you get it to reset? is there a
clear-all jumper on the motherboard?

My first guess would have been that one needed to make a j-tag adaptor
and reset the predefined settings that way. I'll bet most items these
days can be reset / programmed this way.

Usually with a reset button, accessed with a pencil tip or something. OR, if
you do have the IP address and the pasword, there usually is a factory reset
choice on the menus.

Then hit the RETURN key.

Neither does PAP2 allow you to do a hardware reset through a hidden
switch accessible to a pencil nor allow you to punch in FACTRESET from
your telephone pluged into it.

This is how I did a reset on my PAP2:
I opened the box to find a two pin jumper for three pins available on
the board. I kept the device ON, (I used NONSTATIC gloves) pluged off
the jumper from the second and the third pins and connected it to the
first and second pins. Then I punched in "****" and "FACTRESET" and
then "1" on the telephone connected to the PAP2. It announced that it
did RESET successfully. I then switched of the PAP2 and reverted the
jumper back to its second and third pin position and closed the box. I
had the PAP2 unlocked!

Goodluck!

Sekhar.

And on the telephone keypad, which key is that?

Thanks! I saw a bunch of jumpers on in SPA-3000 and wondered what
they did. Its nice to know that if I ever lock myself out I can clear
things again.

Where are said jumpers? Looking at pictures posted and mine, there are
no jumpers that I can apparently see.

V34 (or U34) looks like a dummy grounding post. Looking at both sides
of the board, it's not connected to anything.

So, has anyone been able to find the jumpers on the PAP2 board?
Thanks.

The board is multilayered you would not see the middle layers. U34
apears to be a jumper location without the header. I believe the person
who posted this was already on the service also. Without a dial tone it
may be difficult to produce the same results. Any ideas? Anyone...

It looks like no jumer is really needed any longer. If you simply pick
up the line and wait thru all of the prompts and then the anoying busy
tones, at the end the busy tone will get louder for a few tones and
then silence. Now dial **** after which you will here "Configuration
Menu, bla bla bla" now dial 73738#. This is were I am it asks for a
password?
I have tried the serial # the MAC and a variety of other guesses. I am
thinking about hooking up my laptop and writing a little app. Anyone
have any insight on this password. It's not "ADMIN" either.

The jumper would only be needed to do a factory reset if you do not
have the password.
The question is:
Where is the jumper on that board?

I believe that someone is having you on.

The only way to "unlock" a PAP2 is to connect it to a network where you
control the DNS service, and trick the adapter into downloading a hacked
version of the configuration file, and then upgrading the firmware so it
doesn't keep trying to "phone home" for the locked-in configuration when
you place it on the live network.

No, I do NOT know how to do this, so please don't ask. If you want an
unlocked PAP2, buy a Sipura 2000. It is functionally identical to the
Linksys and isn't locked into Vonage, or whoever.

We assume you mena the unlocked PAP2-NA model...

Nope. Not from a reputable retailer, anyway. Under the Linksys terms,
the PAP2-NA can NOT be sold at retail, as is. It must be sold configured
to, and in conjunction with, the seller's VOIP service.
