Upgrading, Rebooting, and Resyncing Your Linksys ATA Device
Basic Administration and Configuration of Your Linksys ATA
•
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.
NOTE:
If the device has more than one
Line
tab, each line tab must be configured separately.
Each line tab can be configured for a different ITSP.
Advanced Configurations
Other parameters may need to be changed from the defaults, depending on the requirements
of a specific ITSP. Some of the commonly configured parameters include the following:
•
Streaming Audio Server—You can enable an external music source for music on hold.
See the
”Configuring a Streaming Audio Server,” on page 71
for further information.
•
NAT Settings—You can adjust these settings to resolve issues that arise when using a
ATA on a network behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) device. See the
”Network
Address Translation (NAT) and Voice over IP (VoIP),” on page 38
for further information.
•
Subscriber Information—You can configure security parameters. See the
”Secure Call
Implementation,” on page 57
for further information.
•
Dial Plan—You can configure a dial plan for a specific line. See the
”Configuring Dial
Plans,” on page 49
for further information.
Upgrading, Rebooting, and Resyncing Your Linksys
ATA Device
The administration web server supports upgrading, rebooting, and resyncing functions
through special URLs. Administrator account privilege is needed for these functions.
Upgrade URL
The Upgrade URL lets you upgrade the ATA device to the firmware specified by the URL, which
can identify either a TFTP or HTTP server.
NOTE:
If the value of the
Upgrade Enable
parameter in the Provisioning page is
No
, you cannot
upgrade the ATA device even if the web page indicates otherwise.
The syntax of the Upgrade URL is as follows:
http://spa-ip-addr/admin/upgrade?[protocol://][server-name[:port]][/firmware-pathname]
Both HTTP and TFTP are supported for the upgrade operation.
If no
protocol
is specified, TFTP is assumed. If no
server-name
is specified, the host that requests
the URL is used as
server-name
.
