What's the difference between the SPA-1001, PAP2, PAP2T, SPA2102, and SPA3102?

[eric]

Here's some info on the different Linksys adapters:

The SPA-1001 has been discontinued and is replaced with the PAP2T.

The PAP2 has been discontinued and is replaced with the PAP2T.

The PAP2T is the latest model 2 FXS adapter from Linksys.

The SPA2102 is the latest model 2 FXS, router, adapter from Linksys.

The SPA3102 is the latest model 1 FXO, 1 FXS, router, adapter from Linksys.

-NA or -EU means that the device is not associated with a particular VoIP provider (unlocked). Devices without -NA or -EU usually have another -XX designation and are locked to a specific VoIP Provider.

If you are looking to purchase used equipment, make sure it is a -NA or -EU model. Other models are not truely "unlocked" and will not be supported by Linksys or other prodivers.

More information and data sheets for the PAP2T-NA, SPA2102, and SPA3102-NA are available on our store pages.

Hi Eric.

What can you tell us of RTP300 and WRTP54G? Are these models the latest ATAs?

I am looking for the latest and newest ATA+Router Linksys device. Can shed more lite please?

It would of been nice if you would of told us what "FXS" and "FXO" stood for.

This is a FAQ, I shouldn't of had to. There are two FXS definations and a FXO that all can mean the CO. (Central Office).
Can't assume everyone knows every acronym out there.

• SPA2000: Basic phone adapter that allows two POTS (POTS) phones or fax machines to be connected to an Ethernet network in order to make and receive telephone calls or faxes.
• SPA2100: Similar to the SPA2000 with the addition of an Ethernet Router. Functions of the built-in router include QoS.
• SPA3000: Has only one phone adapter port, but can be used for POTS backup for strictly VoIP systems.
• SPA3102: Similar to the SPA3000, but includes single LAN output that can be used to connect to a computer. This is handy if the user only has a modem and no router. The SPA3102 connects to the LAN socket on the modem. The computer, which is traditionally connected to the modem, now connects directly to the LAN connection on the SPA3102. The SPA3102, effectively, is an ATA and single output router in one box.
• SPA9000: An IP PBX system that allows an Auto-Attendant configured, Hunt Groups, multiple IP phone extension, and POTS connectors. The SPA9000 also has basic router functions, port forwarding, QoS, and DTMF functionality.
• SPA901: A basic IP phone with only one line. Often referred as a warehouse or kitchen phone.
• SPA921: A single line phone with LCD display screen.
• SPA922: A single line phone with LCD display screen, but adds a single port built in switch.
• SPA941: The flagship of the SPA phones. It incorporates a 4-line IP phone and an LCD display.
• SPA942: Similar to the 941 aside from the additions of Power_over_Ethernet ability, back-lit screen, and a single port built-in switch.
• SPA962: Similar in appearance and functionality to the 941/942. Features a six line, 2-inch color screen.

Eric,
Is there any hardware device available to connect me to my home for VOIP without using any telephone service provide. Say I use two devices at two said locations and can do voice communication between these location using Internet only.

There is also difference in firmware: the spa3102 has 4 gateway-account in order to work with different providers. You can configure wich one in the dialplan.

Pap2T and 2102 don't have this feature. Each line can only work with the registered provider.
