In my opinion, the VDV-21 is one of the best value ATA available, and it's even have an LCD display to show all kind of information.Make it work is not easy, you have to start on website voipfan.net/unlock.php
Follow the instructions, however at the end the provisioning with an xml file can be done differently.
Google for "baby-web-server" and it can be used on a Windows PC to upload the provisioning xml.file.
Attached is the working FPL provision XML file, rename filename to "brcm<device-mac-address>.xml and just change your FPL info >username/password< (use notepad/notepad++/textpad)
The settings are for North-American 10 digit local/long distance dial, and EST timezone.

I think <regRetryTimer>3600</regRetryTimer> is the failed registration retry timer, which means after a failed registration attempt, the ATA waits an entire hour (3600 seconds) before attempting registration again, which is way too long.

regRetryTimer may need to be 120 seconds.

"Failed Registration Re-Try Interval: 120 seconds"

I'll sticky your thread.

thank you for your input, I was not sure if those numbers are seconds or milliseconds.
corrected xml file accordingly, and re-attached again to first post
forgot to mention, there is also a nice looking xml file viewer/editor program called "xml notepad" by Microsoft (https://microsoft.github.io/XmlNotepad/)

I still see <regRetryTimer>3600</regRetryTimer> in brcm-macaddress.txt

I also see <voicemailSubscribeInterval>86400</voicemailSubscribeInterval>


There is no subscription for Freephoneline voicemail. Freephoneline sends unsolicated Message Waiting Indicator (MWI).
MWI subscribe should not be enabled for FPL.

However, just because voicemailSubscribeInterval is defined doesn't necessarily mean that voicemailSubscribe (MWI subscribe) is enabled.
So <voicemailSubscribeInterval>86400</voicemailSubscribeInterval> may not be a problem. I don't know since I don't have a manual for this ATA or anything to refer to.

you are right, it was a duplication and in a wrong section, corrected and re-uploaded file
added also the <tone> section, where the tones can be edited for different events
formula goes something like this: frequency 1 - volume, frequency 2 -volume, duration , etc....
This xml file configuration just overrides some of device default settings; if a setting is not mentioned here, the default setting will be used.......Permanent configuration (defaults), .....Dynamic configurations (user)
