Hello,

I have an ATA186, and I want to configure it for 2Talk. I can find only some of the fields I need in the config interface.

Has anyone had experience with these and where to set the username and password for 2talk, for instance?

I have a slingshot router (192.168.1.1)

I have the ATA ip address (192.168.1.23)

Here's what the config page says:

UseTFTP

TFTPURL

sip.2talk.co.nz

AltTFTPFURL

DHCP

StaticIP

192.168.1.23

StaticRoute

192.168.1.1

StaticNetMask

255.255.255.0

DNS1IP

8.8.8.8

DNS2IP

8.8.4.4

OpFlags

0x00000002

VLANSetting

0x0000002b

TOS

0x000068b8

SwitchPorts

0x00000000

Domain

sip.2talk.co.nz

There's no dial tone on the Phone 1 port. I can't find where to put my username and password.

Can you give me a pointer or two?

@sbiddle can probably confirm this...

But I'm quite certain there isnt SIP firmware for these old units. They were purely CUCM devices so only support SCCP - Cisco's own protocol. The proper config is done entirely with config files from the CUCM server. So I think you might be pushing p1ss up hill with a rake here.

These days you can buy loads of other really good ATA's for around the $50 that will support SIP and probably have a handful of other handy features. The yeastar ta100 for example, or grandstream HT series.

Its been a looooooong time since I have used one of these, i believe after entering the IP in a browser put /dev to get into the section where you set that stuff

SIP firmware is available for the ATA186 and all if you are running sip firmware its http://ipaddress/dev

You are so right: the config is all about SCCP.

My recommendation is to spend $30 and but a proper ATA like a Cisco SPA

There is SIP firmware available for these units but it's not really worth the effort, they're still an old school device that is pretty average by modern standards.
