Hi all - I am a total noob to IP telephony but very keen to get upskilled.
I have purchased a SPA2102 with a view to set up a home telephony network. I want to use the worldxchange Xnet/VFX service and I am in the process of setting up an account. I have not received the account details yet so not sure whether that is an issue here.
I have a Belkin DSL modem, a DLink Wifi access point and CNET router. The Belkin modem provides DHCP service for the network (DLink DHCP service is swithched off)
I received my SPA2102 the other day and followed the instructions to install and setup. I wasnt able to get anythingl - couldnt get access to the SPA2102 setup at all.
As the instructions directed
1. connected SPA2102 ethernet port to my laptop
2. connected SPA2102 internet port to my modem
3. Didn't connect phone to SP2102 phone 1 port (not phone with RJ45 plug - all BT connections)
4. Opened browser to 192.168.0.1/admin/advanced
Didn't get any connection to the SPA2102 - the browser just timed out
My laptop is set to get IP dynamically so I went and changed that to the same network as SPA2102 - set the laptop to 192.168.0.49 (just to make sure it didnt clash with anything). Also disconnected the modem assuming the DHCP server might be causing a problem
This time I got an error message - server error 501
Tried swapping to Internet/Wan port on SPA2102 - still nothing
Tried connecting SPA2102 ethernet port to my CNET router and my laptop to the router as well. The modem DHCP server identified the SPA2102 and assigned it 192.168.0.12. I tried going to 192.168.0.12/admin/advanced - still nothing.
Am I missing something here? I tried swapping to another laptop just to make sure there was not some issue with my laptop since I have virtual VMnet adapters running as a result of using VMware player. I thought that could be a problem.
I am just wanting to make sure the problem is just me and not the device
Look forward to any help
Thank you
