Please check to make sure that you have the following package contents:
1. Linksys Phone Adapter Unit or Linksys Broadband Router (RT31P2)
2. Ethernet Cable
3. 5 Volt (PAP2) or 12 Volt (RT31P2) Power Adapter
4. CD with User Guide
You will also need:
1. One or Two Analog Touch Tone Telephones (or Fax Machine)
2. Access to an IP Network via an Ethernet Connection
3. One or Two RJ-11 Phone Cable(s).
Please observe the following steps to install the PHONE ADAPTER. From the rear Side of the
PHONE ADAPTER:
1. Insert a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable (included) into the LAN port.2. Insert the power
adapter cable into the 5V power adapter cable receptacle. Ensure that the power adapter
jack is snugly attached to the PHONE ADAPTER.
2. Insert a standard RJ-11 telephone cable into the Phone 1 port.2. Connect the other end of
the cable to an analog telephone or fax machine.
3. Insert a standard RJ-11 telephone cable into the Phone 2 port (Optional)
4. Connect the other end of the cable to an analog telephone or fax machine.
Note: Do not connect RJ-11 telephone cable from the PHONE ADAPTER to the wall jack to prevent
any chance of connection to the circuit switched Telco network. You may now insert the plug end of
the power adapter into a live power outlet which will power up the PHONE ADAPTER.
The PHONE ADAPTER provides for secure remote provisioning and remote upgrade. Linksys
recommends that providers use a secure first-time provisioning mechanism using HTTPS (described
in more detail in section 3.2). Subsequent, provisioning is achieved through configuration profiles
transferred to the device via TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS. These configuration profiles can be encrypted
using AES 256-bit symmetric key encryption using a key configured into the device during the initial
HTTPS provisioning stage. As an alternative method for initial configuration, an unprovisioned
PHONE ADAPTER can receive an encrypted profile specifically targeted for that device without
requiring an explicit key, although this is not as secure as using HTTPS.
The PHONE ADAPTER can be configured to resync its internal configuration state to a remote profile
periodically and on power up. An administrator can also remotely trigger a profile resync by sending
an authenticated SIP NOTIFY request to the PHONE ADAPTER.
Likewise, remote upgrades are achieved via TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS. The PHONE ADAPTER
upgrade logic is capable of automating multi-stage upgrades, in case intermediate upgrades are ever
required to reach a future upgrade state from an older release.
General purpose parameters are provided as an additional aid to service providers in managing the
provisioning process. The administrator can configure simple comparisons, translations,
concatenations, and parameter substitution with the aid of these parameters.
All profile resyncs are attempted only when the PHONE ADAPTER is idle, since they may trigger a
software reboot. User intervention is not required to initiate or complete a profile update or firmware
upgrade. In general, most configuration changes take effect without requiring a reboot.
