Administrator Account Privileges

The Linksys ATA supports two levels of administration privileges: Administrator and User. Both

privileges can be password protected.

Note

By default, there are no passwords assigned for either the Administrator account or the User account.

The Administrator account has the privilege to modify all the web profile parameters and can also

modify the passwords of both Administrator and User account. The User account only has the privilege

to access part of the web profile parameters. The parameters that the User account can access are

specified using the Administrator account on the Provisioning page of the administration web server.

To directly access the Administrator account level privilege, use the following URL:

http://ipaddress/admin/voice

If the password has been set for the Administrator account, the browser prompts for authentication. The

User account name and the Administrator account name cannot be changed.

When browsing pages with the Administrator account privilege, you can switch to User account

privilege by clicking the

User Login

link.

If the User account password is set, the browser prompts for authentication when you click the

User

Login

link). From the User account, you can switch to the Administrator account by clicking the

Admin

Login

link. Authentication is required if the Administrator account password has been set.

Note

Switching between User and Administrator accounts or between basic and advanced views discards any

uncommitted changes that have already been made on the web pages.

Linksys ATA or to

enable specific features

. It includes the following sections:

Initial Configuration

Step 1

After connecting the Linksys ATA to your LAN, launch the web browser on your PC and direct it to the

following URL:

192.168.0.1/advanced

192.168.0.1

is the default local IP address of a Linksys ATA that provides a built-in IP router.

If the ITSP supplied a password for administrative access, you will see a login screen. In the

User Name

field, enter

user

, the default user name for user access, or

admin

for administrator access. Then enter

the user password supplied by your ITSP.

If your ATA includes a built-in IP router, the

Router - Status

screen appears.

Step 2

Click the

WAN Setup

tab.

Step 3

Complete the WAN configuration for DHCP, static IP addressing, or PPPoE.

If you are using DHCP for dynamically assigning the IP address to the Linksys ATA, complete the

following steps:

a.

Select

DHCP

from the

Connection Type

drop-down menu.

Configuring Linksys ATAs

Initial Configuration

If you use a cable modem, you may need to configure the MAC Clone Settings. (Contact your ISP

for more information.)

b.

If your service uses a specific PC MAC address, then select

yes

from the

Enable MAC Clone Service

setting.

c.

Then enter the PC’s MAC address in the

Cloned MAC Address

field.

If you are using static IP addressing, complete the following steps:

a.

Select

Static IP

from the

Connection Type

drop-down menu.

b.

In the Static IP Settings section, enter the IP address in the

Static IP

field, the subnet mask in the

NetMask

field, and the default gateway IP address in the

Gateway

field.

c.

In the Optional Settings section, enter the DNS server address(es) in the

Primary DNS

and optional

Secondary DNS

fields.

If you are using PPPoE, complete the following steps:

a.

Select

PPPoE

from the

Connection Type

drop-down menu.

±

This is the correct setting for most DSL users.

b.

Enter the values provided by the ITSP in the following fields:

•

PPPoE Login Name

•

PPPoE Login Password

•

PPPoE Service Name

Step 4

Configure the Linksys ATA parameters on the Line tab with the appropriate values for the specific ITSP.

If the Linksys ATA has more than one Line tab, each line tab must be configured separately. Each line

tab can be configured for a different ITSP.

The minimum required configuration to connect the Linksys ATA to an ITSP includes configuring the

following parameters on the appropriate Line tab with the values provided for a specific ITSP:

•

User ID (Subscriber Information section)

•

Password (Subscriber Information section)

•

Proxy (Proxy and Registration section)

Other parameters may need to be changed from the defaults, depending on the requirements of a specific

ITSP. Some of the commonly changed sections include the following:

•

Streaming Audio Server—to enable an external music source for enabling music on hold (see the

“Configuring a Streaming Audio Server” section on page 3-12

for further information).

•

NAT Settings—to workaround NAT issues (see the

“Troubleshooting and Configuration FAQ”

section on page 3-18

for further information)

•

Subscriber Information—to configure security parameters (see the

“Secure Call Implementation”

section on page 3-10

for further information)

•

Dial Plan—to configure a dial plan for a specific line (see the

“Configuring a Dial Plan” section on

page 3-5

for further information)

Step 5

After making any necessary changes to the Linksys ATA parameters, click the

Submit All Changes

button.

The changes are saved, the

Linksys ATA

reboots, and the configuration changes are applied to the

running configuration.

Web Interface URLs

Web Interface URLs

The Linksys ATA web interface supports several functions through special URLs:

•

Upgrade

•

Reboot

•

Resync

Administrator account privilege is needed for these functions.

Upgrade URL

The Upgrade URL lets you upgrade the Linksys ATA to the firmware specified by the URL, which can

identify either a TFTP or HTTP server.

Note

If the value of the <Upgrade Enable> parameter in the Provisioning page is

No

, you cannot upgrade the

Linksys ATA even if the web page indicates otherwise.

The syntax of the Upgrade URL is as follows:

•

http://

spa-ip-addr

/admin/upgrade?[protocol://][server-name[:port]][/firmware-pathname]

Both HTTP and TFTP are supported for the upgrade operation.

If no protocol is specified, TFTP is assumed. If

no server-name

is specified, the host that requests the

URL is used as

server-name

.

If no port specified, the default port of the protocol is used. (69 for TFTP or 80 for HTTP)

The

firmware-pathname

is typically the file name of the binary located in a directory on the TFTP or

HTTP server. If no

firmware-pathname

is specified, /spa.bin is assumed, as in the following example:

Resync URL

The Resync URL lets you force the Linksys ATA to do a resync to a profile specified in the URL, which

can identify either a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server.

Note

The SPA resyncs only when it is idle.

The syntax of the Resync URL is as follows:

http://spa-ip-addr/admin/resync?[[protocol://][server-name[:port]]/profile-pathname]

If no parameter follows

/resync?

, the Profile Rule setting from the Provisioning page is used.

If no protocol is specified, TFTP is assumed. If no server-name is specified, the host that requests the

URL is used as

server-name

.

If no port is specified, the default port is used (69 for TFTP, 80 for HTTP, and 443 for HTTPS).

The profile-path is the path to the new profile with which to resync, for example:
