I have been using the SPA-3102 with Trixbox for about a year now before that I had a Mediatrix 2102 connected to it. I have also used the SPA-2102 and WRTP54G with Trixbox with good results.
I found the only problem I had with the 3102 was in its tone detection. It would not detect the hang up tone which meant that it would leave the line open until the time out threshold was reached. This mainly happens if someone calls the line, then once trixbox takes over and the greeting starts the caller would decide they did not want to leave a message and hangs up the phone. The SPA-3102 would not detect that the caller had disconnected and would keep the line open. If you have a default mail box setup in Trixbox it would record the disconnect tone and Eventually (in my case 3 mins) it would time out and release the line. This is a problem if someone calls you within this time, they would get a busy signal or a default message that says "the number you are trying to reach is not in service" The solution that worked for me was to apply line filters to my PSTN to get a clean tone and playing with the frequency range in the SPA-3102. As for the SPA-2102 I had two of them connected to my router, one to a cordless and the other to a standard corded phone for when my battery died or the cordless needed charging. The WRTP54G I used when I was on the road and I had access to a hardwired connection. I programed it to register with my Trixbox and because it was also a wifi router I could use my laptop as well. I am now using Polycom 320s instead of the 2102s and I still use the SPA-3102 connected to my bell line for backup as it has a power fail passthur so if the power goes out I can still get calls. I programed my VOIP line at my providers end to forward all calls to my bell land line(SPA-3120) if it gets any errors, fails or busy signals. This way unless bell is also down I will always get my calls. On a side note my bell line is the most basic land line I could get with no features at all, it is only uses as a backup line and for outgoing local calls when my VOIP line is in use. regards, Anthony On 8/1/07, Georges Berthiaume <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I start off by saying thank you to all of the many contributors to this > list. > > I have learned and benefited greatly from many of you. > > I am seeking your experiences, good and bad, with the SPA-3102. > > I am studying to implement 1 or more of these with Trixbox 2.2.3-1 . > > I know of a few alternatives, but have centered around the 3102. > > My minimum requirements are 1 FXO, 1 FXS, 1 Ethernet, in a solution that > is a solid choice and seamless compatibility with Trixbox. > > I know faxing with Asterisk is still a debatable issue, but this is a > serious consideration in this implementation. > > Please respond to the list, but if you prefer off the list then gb > [aT} interweb d0T com will work . > > Thanks, > > Georges > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
