Trying to set-up the ability to transit in on port two of a Sipura 2000 to dial out on Broadvoice on port 1. Can successfully get a dial tone and dial out. However, cannot get the Fx-200 to disconnect. I have tried numerous tunings but the S2 light hardly changes no matter how far the adjustment screw is screwed in/out. Have tried adjusting the gain as discussed elsewhere but this also seems to have no effect

Any ideas?

1 step forward two steps back. Kept increasing the gain and now have managed to tune the Fx-200 so will now at least hang up - most of the time.

My latest challenge.....

I have Broadvoice on port one of my Sipura 2000 which I use for work. On port two I have FWD with an IPKALL Washington state number. What I want to do is transit in only - i.e. call in on my cell phone to the IPKALL number and then for example dial out internationally using Broadvoice unlimited international while also having inbound callers to my Broadvoice (port 1) number with them to not having the ability to transit out - in fact everything is transparent to them.

Unless I've missed something it doesn't seem possible to enable transit in and disable transit out except with some tricks like using passwords or number of rings.

I was trying to set number of rings for PSTN (code12) to one ring and number of rings for the Broadvoice VoIP to 5 (and either I pick up or voicemail after 4 and before teh transit in dial tone).

The way I read the manual. if I set code 11 to 5 and code 12 to 1 does this result in 5 rings on Voip and 1 ring on PSTN before getting the dialtone for transit in/out?

My problem using this technique is that transit in via PSTN works fine. however, when I dial my Voip my Braadvoice voicemail never kicks in and rather than getting a transit out tone I get silence. When I hang up it takes a few seconds to disconnect so I suspect that the FX-200 is picking up rather than Broadvoice voicemail kicking in. If have tried reducing the number of rings before Braodvoice voicemail picks up but this doesn't seem to help - voicemail just never seems to pickup with the FX-200 in the picture

Also another stange thing. If I call my Broadvoice port 1 number with my Vonage home phone (another line on a seperate ATA) somehow I get a fax tone - I have no fax anywhere except a ReplatTV PVR (ie with a modem) which calls out in the early morning on the Vonage home line. Somehow when I call the Broadvoice line with the FX-200 connected somehow the ReplayTV modem seems to kick in ?

Also, another problem. I initially tried setting code 11 to 9 in order to ensure voicemail always picked up on port 1 but then had the problem that the IPKALL number would not allow it to ring that long and would give an 'unavailable or busy' message despite the fact that voicemail on the IPKALL number was inactive. I'm guesing this is an IPKALL limitation but thought I'd ask.

Perhaps I've missed something and there is a simpler way to do what i want? How do I simply and reliably allow transit in but not out?

Sorry for teh long post>>>

What happens if you disconnect the FX-200 and try calling in to your BV number? Does the Line 1 roll over to Voice Mail? If it does not roll over to Voice Mail even with the FX-200 disconnected, there may be a problem with your BV configuration or with the BV proxy you ar homed to. Have a look through the BV forum here for discussions on that matter.

As for your ReplayTV modem picking up... Do you have any ports manually mapped through your router, perhaps on Vonage's recommendation? If this is true, and you followed Vonage's elephant gun approach to port forwarding, you may have a port that your SPA-2000 thinks it is using being forcibly routed to the Vonage ATA.

Just a couple of thoughts.

p.s. Did you send that email to sipcpe? It's safe to do so, as they are the manufacturers of the FX-200.

Thanks for the reply

Broadvoice voicemail definitely works without the FX-200 attached, one of the first things I verified

As for port forwarding with Vonage, on my old BEFSR41 I used to do this (a while ago) but no port forwarding on my WRT54G wiith Sveasoft QOS active

For those with a Sipura or other unlocked two port gateway:

Plug the port with your unlimited voip service (say Braodvoice) into the FX-200's PSTN port and set the Transit In switch to OFF then these calls will only ring the phone connected to this port on the Sipura with one of the enclose t-adaptors. Then plug the other port/service (say FWD) on the sipura into the VOIP port on the FX-200. You FWD calls will then be connected to your Broadvoice service so you can remotely access your Broadvoice service via the inerenet or via the pstn(FWD's virtual #)

So in the above situation plug the t-adaptor into the port on the Sipura with the Broadvoice service, then connect one line from the t-adaptor to the FX-200 PSTN port the other line to your phone. Turn the Transit In switch OFF. Then all your Broadvoice calls will not be answered by the FX-200 but only ring the atached phone and should go to voice mail if no answer. Note: the Transit In switch will only turn off the PSTN to VOIP transit in function, it will not effect the VOIP to PSTN transit in function.

Finally, plug the Sipura port with the FWD service into the FX-200's VOIP port. Your FWD calls will be answered by the FX-200 and transfered to your Broadvoice port and you can make your long distance calls through your Broadvoice service. I think this is what your are overall trying to do, yes?

Note: you may have to play with the tuning proceedure and the sipura's input gain control to get the disconection to work properly and be aware any FWD calls that come in while your are otherwise engaged on the
Broadvoice phone line will be merged or conferenced automatically.

Everything works as you suggest now. manual needs some work....

Thanks

Thanks for the advice. We will make those updates on the next version of our manual.
