Code:
; SPA8000 test extensions
exten => 8001,1,Macro(exten-vm,SIP/${EXTEN},${VM_DELAY},2${EXTEN:1})

The Linksys SPA8000 is ready to work with Asterisk, with most of the existing default settings.
Log into your Linksys SPA8000.

Then select the line tab that you want to configure, in our example L1, and enter the following information:
Line Enable: Yes
Proxy: Asterisk Server name User ID: 8001
Password: SPA8000-test
And for the L2 tab:
Line Enable: Yes
Proxy: Asterisk Server name User ID: 8002
Password: SPA8000-test
The configuration above should get you started and give you a basic idea of how to configure the Linksys SPA8000 with Asterisk.
