similar to: Sipura spa-2000 / 3000: surge protection

I lost one channel on an FXO module on a Sangoma A200 card due to a lightening zap in the area (well - it died the same night as a major thunder storm came through).... Is there a recommended/standard surge protector for phone lines I should be using? My server has 2 POTS lines. thanks Todd

I am sorry if this is an FAQ, but there doesn't seem to be searchable archives, and the supported manufacturer's list doesn't include "surge master". Google was also not much help. I have just put a Linux box and the customer has a "surge max " UPS. Anyone any ideas what protocol it uses? There is a Green serial cable. The manufacturers web site is here:

All- I'm attempting to set up a Sipura SPA-3000 in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Not being a portuguese speaker, I'm having a rough time of finding the relevant information on how to make the thing pick up the PSTN line and make an outbound call. The sipura in question works fine on a bench connected to a POTS line in the US, but is now plugged in in Sao Paolo. The immediate thing I notice is that

I have a CentOS-5.6 remote server in a house in Italy, where there are occasional thunder-storms. There was one yesterday, when the electricity went off 3 times, for a second or so on each occasion. My server, an HP MicroServer, came back (re-booted) on 2 of the 3 occasions, but not on the third. I assume that the problem arises because the machine does not close down properly. (Although it is

I heard Sipura had really awesome documentation on the SPA-2000 and SPA-3000, but you have to email them for it. When I did, they said I had to get it from a reseller. It's been a while since I bought my units, I don't even remember where or who they were bought from. Can somebody email me the documentation for these devices? I'm quite interested in knowing what every one of their 200+

My SPA-3000 finally arrived and I'm trying to get the FXO port on it to work as if it was a X100P card as far as Asterisk is concerned. I have Asterisk dialing out over the SPA-3000 FXO port no problem. The issue I'm having problems with is having the SPA-3000 automatically forward all incoming PSTN calls to the Asterisk "mainmenu" context (or ext I guess). Currently the

Hello, I am working for a charity in the UK and I am projecting a new phone system. We would like to connect our two-wire telephones (40 or so) to an ADIT 600 channel bank, and connect that into an Asterisk box via the CMG card or T1 card. I have been in talks with Carrier Access about the purchase of a new channel bank and we tried to get a minor version of it first for testing with the

Hello everybody, I have a very strange issue with a Linksys SPA-3000 (1 fxo + 1 fxs) used as PSTN gateway to asterisk in a small office. Everything works just fine, except that sometimes, and it seems that only for long incoming calls, the IVR menu appears on the middle of the call(like a three way call, call goes on with prompts playing over the parties). Dialing an extension at the prompt at

Hi all, Anyone able to remotely reboot their password protected Sipura SPA-3000 from command line. I am trying: Sipura SPA-3000 from command line: # wget http://admin:mypassword@192.168.1.55/admin/reboot The strange thing is it works fine when I go to http://admin:mypassword@192.168.1.55/admin/reboot with my web browser... Thanks....

Hi, I have a SPA-3000 and would like to use the 911 recipe from http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+tips+911. So I took the simple recipe and modified it slightly: exten => 911,1,ChanIsAvail(SIP/potsoutbound) exten => 911,2,Dial(SIP/potsoutbound/911) exten => 911,3,Hangup() exten => 911,102,SoftHangup(SIP/potsoutbound) exten => 911,103,Wait(1) exten => 911,104,Goto(1) Now,

Greetings, What is the recommended settings for using SPA-3000's FXO port for dialing out to PSTN in regard of the DTMF? The voip lan contains SPA-2100 and SPA-3000, with all fxs/fxo ports registered to the Asterisk box with unique username/passwords. The inbound PSTN DTMF works excellently, e.g. people calling from PSTN into the * box are able to pick IVR items with DTMF reliably. The

I'd like to protect my expensive Digium FXO cards from spikes on my three incoming PSTN lines. Does anyone have any recommendations? -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u

This is a wierd one. Can't figure it out. I have an SPA-3000 at the house handling my incoming line. It's setup to direct the incoming call to asterisk. Works great 99% of the time. A few times a day, I'm getting calls that ring once internally and are then hungup. I managed to get a detailed log [1] of what's happening today and it looks to me that the SPA is acting wierd.

Hi, the topic says it all really. Does the Sipura 3000 detect and report UK clid correctly? thanks Mike

Hi All, I am using a Sipura SPA-3000 as an FXO gateway to bring calls in and out of Asterisk. I am using "PSTN Ring Thru Line 1" (on the "PSTN Line" tab) so Asterisk answers the call rather than the SPA-3000. It is all working perfectly except I can't get the SPA-3000 to pass caller ID to Asterisk. It passes "Display Name", "User ID" and any "PSTN

Greetings, We are currently testing a Sipura SPA-3000 as a gateway from our Asterisk system to a PSTN line for 911 access. We have a number of locations and want to place an SPA-3000 in each, connected to a PSTN line that will provide the correct ANI/ALI information to 911 for each location. It all works great, except for a reasonably significant (4 seconds) delay between when the SPA-3000

Hello All! I am in the process of assembling an asterisk-based phone system for my office - using SPA-3000s to connect the network to the PSTN. I am wondering if anybody else can get (or has already seen) the same behaviour out of their 3000. The short version: Send multiple Calls to the SPA's FXO port at the same time it is re-registering with Asterisk. SPA HTTP Configuration:

I've been running with a generic X100P for 5 or so months and every once in a while I have problem receiving faxes. I see that others have the same problems and some worse than I have with these boards so I was wondering if using a Sipura SPA-3000 would be any more reliable. Has anyone had enough experience to tell me if that would definitely fix the random fax error. PS. I have * at

The party's over folks, the new official cisco/linksys/sipura policy is to no longer sell SPA-3000's to end users. Buy them while you still can :-( -Dan

Hallo! I had ordered a Sipura SPA-3000 in the UK, but the supplier turned out to be unreliable and never shipped. Yesterday I went looking for alternative suppliers and found the Linksys SPA3000 device. It's a different box, but the specs look very similar. Is this the same device? Has anyone used this Linksys SPA3000 successfully with Asterisk? Thanks, Frank
