1. Login at
https://www.freephoneline.ca/showSipSettings to find your SIP Username and SIP Password.
2. Login to your ATA's WebUI, and navigate to the FXS ports tab
For Profile 1
a. SIP User ID is SIP Username
b. Password is SIP Password
Make sure not to enter blank spaces (be very careful when copying and pasting). It's often better to manually type the password in. If you're using a password app, check to ensure it's not autofilling the wrong information or interfering in any manner.
c. Enable Port needs to be set to Yes
d. Click "Apply"
3. Navigate to Status tab-->Port Status-->Registration
The registration status needs to show registered.
4. After logging in again at
https://www.freephoneline.ca/showSipSettings, SIP status needs to show "connected", and SIP User Agent needs to reflect your Grandstream ATA.
Note that FPL only allows one registration per account. You will not be able to simultaneously register both profiles in the ATA using the same FPL account. Only the most recent registration is valid, which matters for incoming calls. Make sure any other ATA you have is not plugged in.

By the way, if you're interested, the engineering team that designed the SPA2102 series left and eventually started designing Obihai ATAs. They are the true successors of your older ATA and not the newer Cisco SPA series.

Did you know that not only were Sipura and Obihai ATAs designed by the same engineers, those engineers also invented the ATA at Komodo technology 15+ years ago? OBi ATAs are really the latest versions of the PAP/SPA ATAs - granted, with more/better call routing features, better hardware, and better audio quality - but the hundreds of thousands of people who used PAP/SPA ATAs before Obihai went on the market would likely not call a genuine PAP/SPA garbage (with the possible exception of the SPA3xxx).
