Need some networking help if we have any techies here
I currently have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router which is connected to my cable modem. I have an Ethernet cable connected from the wall socket to my modem, and another Ethernet cable connecting my modem to the router. All my devices (laptop, printer, iPhone, etc) connect wirelessly.
I just recently invested in a virtual telephone system (from RingCentral) for my business, so I bought a Cisco/Linksys Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA - the model is SPA2012) so that I could use it with my analog phone (the phone is plugged in via phone jack to the ATA). Basically I now need to connect the ATA to either my router or my modem, but somehow it's not working (lol). I know this is kind of vague, but I'm not quite sure how to get it to work. I tried connecting the ATA to the router via one of the router's Ethernet ports, but I must be missing something as it isn't working. Has anyone ever connected an Analog Phone Adapter to their wireless router? How did you get it to work? FYI, the router is this one: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/s...routers/WRT54G And the ATA is this one: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/coll...78-502137.html The damn thing didn't come with a manual or anything. |

Re: Need some networking help if we have any techies here
This is from the ATA product description, "Each phone line can be configured independently via software controlled by the service provider or the end user."
I assume this means the ATA needs to be recognized by the VoIP software. So I would try messing with the VoIP software and see if has a way to detect additional interfaces. Hope this helps!
