Do you know if i can use Zoiper at the same time along with the ATA adaptor (home phone)
No; you can't for incoming calls.
However, you can use "Follow Me" to (unofficially . . . at one time users weren't allowed to forward calls to other FPL and Fongo Mobile numbers; I'm not sure whether that situation will ever change again) forward incoming calls to a Fongo Mobile number:
https://support.freephoneline.ca/hc/en- ... Follow-Me-. So you could use the Fongo Mobile app and forwarding incoming calls to your FPL number to your Fongo Mobile number.
Note that only one registration per FPL account is allowed at any time. When there are multiple devices/softphones using the same account, only the most recent registration is valid. The previous device will lose registration. This is especially important to consider if someone else is using your SIP credentials (username and password) that are found after logging in at
https://www.freephoneline.ca/showSipSettings (or if you're trying to register your FPL account with a smartphone SIP app or with another device).
Registration is required for incoming calls. It is not required for outgoing calls. If you simply want to make outgoing calls using your FPL number, configure, but don't register the account, on the SIP app being used, with Acrobits Groundwire, for example, on a smartphone (there is no way to do this with the Freephoneline desktop application; the Freephoneline desktop application doesn't offer to option to not register).
Groundwire, by the way, doesn't require an ongoing subscription for Push. Zoiper does.
Also note that each time you reboot your ATA, it's attempting to register with Freephoneline again. If you attempt more than 10 registrations in 5 minutes (this is why the registration interval is important),
you may end up being temporarily IP banned by the specific FPL server the ATA (and/or mobile app) was sending
registration requests to. If you're temporarily IP banned, you could then try switching ProxyServer to a different FPL server than the one you were previously using (voip.freephoneline.ca, voip2.freephoneline.ca, or voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060), unless you need to use voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060 because you have SIP ALG forced on in your router. The purpose of
voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060 is to circumvent buggy SIP ALG features in routers.

"As May 2013, our servers will rate limit REGISTER requests to a maximum of 10 requests per 5 minutes. Each authentication round usually consumes 2 requests (digest auth), so it is a fair number given our guidelines. Also, it does not affect INVITES (which are also authenticated)…
This rate limit is applied per IP address as our service is tailored to residential Canadian users (ADSL/Cable)."

That's why the using the registration interval of 3600 seconds and failed retry timer of 120s are important in your ATA--and why temporary IP bans are an important consideration when using mobile SIP applications with Freephoneline (consider losing internet connectivity in an a certain area and then regaining it; your mobile app may attempt to re-register). Freephoneline was not developed, specifically, with the intention of it being used with cellular data. Fongo Mobile was.
