Alternate Device Testing

[burris]

It reboots every once in a while. Which kills your internet connection for everything behind it when it does. Just did it a few minutes ago and I saw a "network cable unplugged" popup in my XP box. Since this is a freebie it's no biggie. However, I wouldn't want to put devices behind it for which I want excellent uptime. And also there's a slight window in which you can miss a call - this behavior is probably shared with the PAP2T as some kind of VOIPo config "feature".

Although I reported that it was working with both ATAs behind the router, last night I had an inconvenient experience as a result..

Forever it seems, I keep my simulring activated to my cell and it has worked flawlessy. Last night, however, after going to sleep and having shut off my cell, we got a few calls from my wife's brother up North...the phones rang once--CID appeared--but line was dead. After the second call, we called back to find out that my wife's sister was injured. Her brother said he left 2 messages, but I couldn't figure out how as our answer machine was empty.
The messages went to my cell voice mail.

Anyway, I looked at the VPanel and with no intervention from me, both ATAs were now using the same SIP ports. Changed by itself since earlier in the day.
I removed the RT ATA and all went back to normal.

Lesson...don't experiment when you're not there to intervene if something goes South..

Burris, a little OT, but what is the normal behavior when simulring is active and your cell is turned off? I mean without the new ATA, does your VOIPo line ring?

With the PAP2 or with my SPA2102 even when the cell is off, my VOIPo line rings.

I suspect the instance of 2 ATAs sharing the SIP ports may have caused the problem, and as I mentioned, even though it worked earlier in the day, something changed at night that caused both ATAs to latch on to the same SIP ports. Earlier in the day, only one port was duplicated.

If you have simulring with your cell in effect and your cell is off and you get a call, presumably your cell's voicemail will answer the call almost right away - (of course your VOIPo line will ring once before the call reaches your cell network and voicemail answers). So, wouldn't you get the exact behavior you've described?

Burris, essentially you're expecting Google Voice behavior with Call Presentation in effect?
