Author SPA-3000 & PSTN dial out problem
Lansbury

2006-06-18, 7:11 am

Have a Linksys SPA-3000

Line one to VoIP provider works ok

PSTN line set to VoIP provider 2 and can dial out calls ok

SPA-3000 is also plugged into the PSTN and can receive calls OK and rings
through to Line 1

The problem comes when I try and dial out on the PSTN which gets a tone
similar to number unobtainable.

Here is the dial plan

(*xx|#xx|44xx.<:@gw1>|<#0,<:@gw0>|<#1,:>xx.<:@gw1>|[3469]11|0|00|[2-9]xxxxxx|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx.|xxxxxxxxxx.)

Any ideas at to what might be the cause of this gratefully received as I
haven't a clue.

I have a '3000 but I don't have a PSTN line connected. What I can tell
you is that if you dial into a gateway you will get a tone exactly as
you describe - it is a dial tone - so just dial and see what happens.
I assume you have something in your dial plan like:-
<#0,:>xx.<@gw0>
where you would dial #0 to access the PSTN line.

You need to set 'dial tones' and 'ring tones' for the UK in the Regional
Tab, search Voxilla for help on UK Regional settings - there's some good
advice there.

It's <#0,<:@gw0> which I think is causing the OP's issue. Dialling #0
before a PSTN number will produce a second dialling tone which sounds
very much like number unobtainable.

As you suggested, I'm sure there is a setting to tweak to make the
second dialling tone sound more like a dialling tone.

I would also be tempted to take out #xx.....what does this get used
for? Won't it clash with <#0,<:@gw0>?...........I'm no expert,
though.....

Sorry I may have not described the problem accurately now I see the helpful
information given here.

As Juno suggested I have removed *xx, this was speed dial setting used by one
of my VoIP providers. Now as soon as I dial #0 I get the second dial tone,
however when I dial a test number, my mobile phone, at the end I am still
getting the sound similar to unobtainable and my mobile doesn't ring.

I will go back to Voxilla and read up on the UK settings, I searched there so
far only to see if the problem had already been discussed.

Hi Lansbury,

Consider <http://www.sipura.com/Documents/faq0.htm#syslog> - it would
be interesting to discover what your SPA is actually dialling.

What does the info page reveal on the spa web interface?

I didn't check out your dial plan earlier.
You have an opening bracket and haven't included a corresponding
closing bracket. Further you haven't allowed for any number to be
dialled.
i.e. <#0,<:@gw0>
change this to
<#0,:>xx.<:@gw0>
This will access the gateway when you dial
#0
You'll hear a tone, then dial your PSTN number.

Have you got something like 420@-19,520@-19;10(*/0/1+2) as your dial
tone in Regional Settings?

the last dialled number on the info page should appear as something
like
783xxx@gw0

The relevant part of my dial plan is
<#9,:>xx.<:@gw0>

yours didn't have the xx. bit ie the dial plan excluded you dialling
anything once your #0 prefix was dialled.

Maybe re-post the current dial plan as it has been changed ?

it was a US number which had been dialled out on line 1, which is connected to
a US VoIP service. The number dialled on the PSTN was not shown.

....this should not be presenting you with so many problems.

Starting from scratch here, if you turn off the power to your SPA3K,
can you sucessfully dial a number on your PSTN?

I looked a bit harder, on the Info page under Line 1 Status it says
"Last Called Number: 783522@gw0" and under PSTN Status " Last Called
PSTN Number: 783522"

clutching at straws, try using #9 in your dial plan instead of #0 :-0

Yes I can dial on the PSTN with the power turned off

makes no difference I afraid.

I suspect I have misunderstood something in the SPA3K manual but what it might
be I haven't a clue.
