Did you change the hostname to west manually? If so, the credentials are prob still the BYOD ones if they came from provisioning.

Nope- I just plugged it in when I got it. Ive never been into it...

Ive got a ticket in about a request and made a note in a reply about the no incoming...

:)

Still going strong guys. The problem I had like last week was because I had two numbers in simul ring. I got a email from support saying they are aware. Removing the second number fixed it.

It's a very nice ATA.

Have you used the router functions on it at all?

Ya it works fine.

I don't use this device, and I generally don't like to use the router functions of an ATA because they are rarely as good as a dedicated router. However, one advantage of having an ATA-router combination device is that you can easily bypass your LAN for purposes of testing VoIP problems (which are usually LAN-related). Routers can generally be set up to do PPPoE authentication, for example, and can be configured to have a routable public IP address (I don't think the PAP2 can do this except as a simple DHCP client). And while you are testing, your computer can still reach the internet (again, not possible where the PAP2 gets the public IP address). Once the VoIP problems are resolved, you can always turn off the device's router functions and go back to using a dedicated router if you choose.

I'm wondering whether these considerations played a part in VOIPo's trying out this device, or is it just because you can get a good deal on them?

Both. A competitor in CA had a few thousand of these and preferred Grandstream devices. We will never touch Grandstream devices again....so we traded.

I'm sure you've mentioned it somewhere in this thread ... but things change. Are you using the test devlce as a replacement for the original or are you running both in parallel?

I asked Tim about this early on, but don't remember if there was an answer.

I'm not they will both register if in parallel.
