Registering to the Service Provider

To use VoIP phone service, you must configure your ATA device to the Service

Provider.

STEP 1 Start Internet Explorer, connect to the administration web server, and choose Admin access with Advanced settings.

STEP 2 Click Voice tab > Line N, where N is the line number that you want to configure.

STEP 3 Enter the account information for your ITSP. The following is the minimum required configuration to connect the ATA device to an ITSP:

User ID: The account number or logon name for your ITSP account (Subscriber Information section)

Password: The password for your ITSP account (Subscriber Information section)

Proxy: The proxy server for your ITSP account (Proxy and Registration section)

STEP 4 After making any necessary changes, click the Submit All Changes button.

STEP 5 To verify your progress, perform the following tasks:

After the devices reboot, click Voice tab > Info. Scroll down to the Line 1 Status section of the page. Verify that the line is registered. Refer to the following example.

Use an external phone to place an inbound call to the telephone number that was assigned by your ITSP. Assuming that you have left the default settings in place, the phone should ring and you can pick up the phone to get two-way audio.

If the line is not registered, you may need to refresh the browser several times because it can take a few seconds for the registration to succeed. Also verify that your DNS is configured properly.

This focus on security makes the SPA2102 a reliable choice for businesses concerned about the confidentiality of their conversations.

The device is easy to configure and manage, thanks to its web-based interface. This allows administrators to quickly set up the adapter, manage network settings, and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Furthermore, the SPA2102 supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, ensuring that voice traffic is prioritized over other types of network traffic, which enhances call quality and reliability.

Overall, the Cisco SPA2102 is a powerful, user-friendly VoIP adapter that combines traditional telephony with modern IP technology.
