More than one ATA?
|
|
| Michael 2007-09-16, 7:11 am |
| Folks
I currently run a Sipura SPA1001 ATA through a Belkin wireless router.
Is there any reason why I could not run an additional ATA (probably
another SPA1001) through a spare Ethernet port on that router to allow
a someone else to run their own phone line (my daughter ..... she can
take it with her when she leaves home to go to Uni).
Regards
Mick

Shouldn't be a problem, but if you only have one public IP address then
obviously you won't be able to forward the same ports to two different ATAs
[if indeed your setup did require port forwarding to get it working].

Port forwarding issues?
Presumably you already have certain ports forwarded to you SPA1001, or
it's in the DMZ?
You would need to change default ports to something else on the 2nd
device, perhaps - unless you have a router whose firmware can handle
SIP/RTP properly, without any forwarding.

Considering the points that Jono has raised then that might also be a
problem when your daughter's phone is connected up at Uni.
I would think that you would have to go and set it up. You'd have to
be lucky that it would work first off on current settings. Some
Universities may block ports anyway. If that happens you may have to
consider using your VSP account via a service that allows use of
different ports.

This is interesting. I have always thought of my PAP2 as two ATA's
in one box, but clearly there is more to it than that. So what is the
internal arcutecture of a PAP2?

It certainly has two independent VoIP ports - and these can be registered
with two different VoIP suppliers if desired. But it's still a single
device - with only one IP address - as far as your LAN is concerned.

However, if it's anything like the SPA2100, Line two's SIP port
defaults to 5061.

There is honestly no need to forward ports for any SIP device nowadays.
Any SIP provider with even half a brain will cope fine with devices
behind a NAT.
I've been using SIP devices for 5 years now. I certainly haven't put in
a single port forwarding for SIP in the last 3 years. It just isn't
necessary anymore.

It is 2 ATAs in one box. The listen on different port numbers.

Make sure you assign fixed IP addresses to them though, DHCP causes
problems.

Yeah, my PAP2 is on my NAT router without any ports being forwarded, no
problems at all.

Thanks folks - looks good.
Certainly, when I set up my Sipura ATA SPA1001 - apart from get the
bits right like regional settings etc (with help from this forum) I
didn't have to do anything else other than make sure the Router was set
as per instructions.... nothing difficult.
Running a second ATA should be the same I assume - and if I had any
local difficulties, no doubt members of this forum would assist as
always!
All I need now is a good price for another SPA 1001
Thanks again
Mick

Having looked into this now, I could probably upgrade the SPA1001 to a
PAP2 and achieve the same result but only taking up 1 port on the
router and one point on the trailing 240v socket.
Would that make sense?
(I could always give daughter the SPA1001 when she goes to Uni)

Just a thought (sorry about the multi posts) ..... the SPA1001 isn't
locked to any provider - is the PAP2 the same - unlocked?

It depends where you buy them from.
http://www.provoip.co.uk/ is always unlocked, as are others.

Curious that. No way could I get voip.co.uk to work through a Belkin
wireless router using a wired port. The preconfigured Xlite softfone
from Sipgate would receive incoming calls but I could never make
outgoing.
Changed to a Netgear 614 and set up port forwarding and all now works
a treat, even with a SPA2000 or SPA2102.
