Cisco provides a Mini Certificate Generator for the generation of mini certificates and private keys. Partners can download the Mini Certificate Generator by going to Cisco Partner Central, Voice & Conferencing page, Technical Resources section. Use the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/sell/smb/products/ voice_and_conferencing.html#~vc_technical_resources

NOTE The partner sites require a logon.

The Mini Certificate Generator uses the following syntax:

gen_mc ca-key user-name user-id expire-date

Where:

ca-keyis a text file with the base64 encoded 1024-bit CA private/public key pairs for signing/verifying the MC, such as the following:

user-nameis the name of the subscriber, such as “Joe Smith”. Maximum length is 32 characters

user-idis the User ID of the subscriber, which must match exactly the user-id used in the INVITE when making the call, such as “14083331234”. The maximum length is 16 characters.

expire-dateis the expiration date of the MC, such as “00:00:00 1/1/34” (34=2034). Internally the date is encoded as a fixed 12B string: 000000010134

The tool generates the Mini Certificate and SRTP Private Key parameters that can be provisioned.

The Cisco Systems SPA2102 is a versatile Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) adapter that serves as a bridge between traditional telephony systems and modern IP networks. Designed primarily for small to medium businesses, the SPA2102 is highly regarded for its reliability, ease of use, and rich feature set. This device allows users to make and receive phone calls over the internet while maintaining the ability to connect traditional analog phones.

One of the standout features of the SPA2102 is its dual-port capability. The device includes two FXS ports, allowing users to connect two separate analog telephones. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses that want to retain their existing telephony infrastructure while transitioning to a VoIP system. The ability to utilize two telephone lines simultaneously provides flexibility and convenience, especially for users in a busy office environment.

The SPA2102 leverages Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) technology, which is widely recognized for its robustness and interoperability. The support for SIP ensures that the SPA2102 can work seamlessly with various VoIP service providers, offering users a broad range of options for their telecommunication needs. In addition to SIP, the device supports various codecs, including G.711, G.726, and G.729, allowing for flexible audio quality settings and bandwidth management.

Security is also a critical aspect of the SPA2102. It incorporates advanced encryption methods, such as Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), to protect voice communications from potential eavesdropping. 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. Its dual-port capability, support for SIP, extensive security features, and ease of configuration make it a solid choice for businesses looking to innovate their communication systems while minimizing disruption.
