If you purchase a second hand Cisco SPA or one that has been setup to work with a particular carrier then the safest bet is to reset the
settings to the factory defaults so that you start with a clean slate and can be sure that some previously entered setting is not causing you
a problem. To reset the SPA-2102 to factory defaults follow these steps:

Plug in power adapter

Plug in a phone to ‘Phone 1′ port of the SPA-2102
Dial ****
You should hear ‘Configuration Option Menu’
Dial 73738# (RESET#)
Press 1 to confirm the reset

The SPA-2102 should now have been reset to factory default settings.

You may need to do the following to set up web management depending on which interface you are coming in on:

Dial **** into the phone connected to the ATA device

You should hear ‘Configuration Option Menu’
Dial 7932  then press 1 to enable.
Hang up when you hear option saved.

2. Get access to your SPA-2102 web interface

Plug in Ethernet cable to router and wait for several seconds

 Dial ****110#
Listen to IP Address which is read back to you
Plug your PC into the LAN (Ethernet) port of the SPA-2102
Enter IP Address into your web browser (For example. http://192.168.1.10 (http://192.168.1.10/))
You should now see the Linksys SPA-2102 Web Interface

3. Upgrade firmware (optional)

Your SPA-2102 may work well on it’s current firmware, but it is always a good idea to upgrade the firmware on your SPA-2102 to ensure that
you are running the latest recommended firmware on it. Upgrading the firmware is relatively easy with the SPA-2102.

Visit http://www.linksys.co.nz (http://www.linksys.co.nz/)

Click on Downloads
Select VoIP Routers from drop down menu under the VoIP category
Select SPA-2102 from the drop down menu under the picture that looks like your SPA-2102 (centre, middle)
Select Version 1.0
Click on firmware to download the Firmware ZIP file  (e.g. SPA-2102-5-2-5.ZIP)
Open the ZIP file in a ZIP utility such as WinZip
Click Extract and extract your files to a folder you choose (e.g. C:\SPA2102)
Use Windows Explorer to open a window on your selected folder
Click on the .exe Application (named something like upg-spa2102-5-2-5.exe)
Accept the warning and Click Continue
Enter the IP Address of the SPA2102 above into the Window and click OK
Click Upgrade to update your SPA2102 firmware to the new version you have downloaded
Wait until the progress indicator has finished doing the upgrade. Do NOT unplug your SPA2102 during the upgrade.
When successfully upgraded you should see a message like ‘Your SPA has been successfully upgraded to the version shown below’
(Latest version at time of writing was 5.2.5)
Now in your web browser put in the SPA-2102 IP Address again and on the Info page you should see the new firmware version displayed
beside ‘Software Version’

4. Changing your System Settings

Click on the ‘System’ tab

 It is recommended you set a User and Admin password on the web interface of the SPA2102 to avoid unauthorised access.
Set ‘Admin Passwd’ and ‘User Password’ to a password of your choosing and write it down so you don’t forget it.
Click ‘Save Settings’
The unit will reset and now prompt you for your username and password.
Enter ‘admin’ as the username and your new password to access your SPA2102

SIP Page

Click on the ‘SIP’ tab

Change the following SIP Timer Values:

Reg Max Expires = 600

Reg Retry Intvl = 10
Reg Retry Long Intvl = 20

(Changing the above will allow your SPA2102 to recover from registration failures more quickly.)

Change the following SDP Payload Types:

RTP-Start-Loopback-Codec: G711a
RTP Parameters:

Stats in BYE: yes

Change the following NAT Support Parameters (optional):

STUN Enable: yes
STUN Test Enable: yes
STUN Server: stun. (http://stun.2talk.co.nz/)3cx.com

(The STUN settings should be optional. Your SPA2102 should work fine without STUN enabled, so you can enable/disable these settings if you
are having issues registering.)

Click on ‘Save Settings’

Changing your Provisioning Settings

Click on the ‘Provisioning’ tab

Change the following in the Configuration Profile:

Provision Enable: no
Change the following in the Firmware Upgrade parameters:

Upgrade Enable: no
Click on ‘Save Settings’

Changing your Regional settings

If you wish to support the New Zealand Tones for your phones and set the date/time then you can setup the following. There are a lot of
settings here that are not strictly necessary for a functional phone, but if you wish the SPA2102 to behave similar to a Telecom landline then
you are best changing the settings on this page.

Suplementary Service Subscription

If you choose to leave many of the supplementary services enabled on the SPA2102 then the star codes that you use to
activate/deactivate services with kiwivoip will not work as the SPA2102 uses many of the same star codes and will intercept them when
you try to dial through to kiwivoip. It is therefore recommended that you disable some of the key services such as:

Block CID Serv: no

Block ANC Serv: no
Cfwd All Serv: no
Cfwd Busy Serv: no
Cfwd No Ans Serv: no
Cfwd Sel Serv: no
Cfwd Last Serv: no
Block Last Serv: no

NOTE: However if you are plugging in a fax machine then you should set the “Call Waiting Serv: No” and “MWI Serv: No”

User 1/User 2 page

Most of the settings on this page are up to the customer and whether they wish to support call waiting,caller ID etc.  However we
recommend the following settings be applied:

Block CID Setting: no    (This must be set to ‘no’ otherwise you will experience problems calling out)
CW Setting: yes   (You should use the kiwivoip Call Waiting setting to control this feature)
DND Setting:  no   (You should use the kiwivoip Do Not Disturb setting to control this feature)

Troubleshooting Tips

If you are still having problems getting your SPA-2102 to register with kiwivoip then you can try disabling or enabling the STUN settings.

Another thing you can try is changing your SIP Port from ‘5060′ to ‘50600 (and 5061 to 50610 on line 2 if required)′ in the SIP Settings under
each line and change the ‘Proxy’ and ‘Outbound Proxy’ from ‘sip.kiwivoip.co.nz (http://sip.kiwivoip.co.nz/)’ to ‘sip.kiwivoip.co.nz:50600′ in the
Proxy and Registration settings under each line

If you are still having problems connecting to kiwivoip then email us [email protected]
