asterisk users - Feb 2009 - ATA recommendation (wih FTP provisioning)

Hi,

 

I am looking for a good ATA recommendation, ideally something:

 

1) with one FXS and one LAN port (so it's as inexpensive as possible)

 

2) That can be provisioning using FTP (configuration and firmware upon
reboot, ideally remote reboot from a sip notify)

 

3) Supports T.38

 

Nice to have would be:

a) PoE powered and AC powered (my choice)

b) Small size-wise

 

I have been recommended the PAP2T in the past, and although I have used it
and sort of liked it, it wasn't possible to provision it using FTP (at least
as far as I could tell)

 

Any tip is welcomed.  I`m looking at the Patton ATA which is small, but it
doesn't support FTP provisioning either as far as I can tell.

 

 

 

Mike

I used the Patton M-ATA a year or so ago and it was a piece of junk. 
T.38 didn't work and there was no way to troubleshoot why it didn't 
work.  Also, the web interface was horrible.

What's wrong with HTTP?

I haven't tried FTP (why does anyone use this protocol anymore? TFTP I
can understand, but FTP?!). HTTP works fine.

I second the PAP2T.  No PoE though.  I am almost certain it can be 
provisioned by FTP.  I use TFTP personally...  on't think you can get one 
much cheaper either.

Unfortunately, I don't think any PoE powered exists, AFAIK.

Thanks for the correction.  My memory failed me.  But definitely I want people
to know that not every PAP2T is useful to them so they don't get burned. 
IMO Vonage (and others) should not be locking them the way they do (and Linksys
shouldn't make it possible).  I don't mind them providing
autoconfiguration, as many of their customers would be lost otherwise, but
blocking factory reset and other tricks they play is IMO morally wrong,
particularly since the customer paid for the ATA.
