Features of Linksys PAP2T

Post by monal »

Hello everybody,
I have Linksys PAP 2T ATA. I have Free Phone Line provider for it.
I want to use "Music on Hold" and all other features (like Selective/Anonymous Call Rejection, Call Return, Distinctive Ringing - Calling and Called Number, Hot line and Warm Line Calling, Speed Dialing of 8 Numbers/Addresses etc.) available for my ATA.
But I don't know how to set them up.
I have searched on the internet for them. But I could not find it.
So please, can somebody help me set up all features ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Music-on-Hold is set by FPL, they don't allow for custom music, as it might violate copyright, I believe. As for the other features, I'm not sure on them. I think for Distinctive Rings you can set them on the User X tab, where X is the line number you are using. I don't have this model, but this is where it is on my SPA122. For may of the others you've mentioned I've seen their names in the Vertical Service Activation Codes section under Regional settings. Dial these and magic happens.

Hope this helps a bit,
Sigy

It's pretty easy to enforce rules that avoid copy-right issues such as length of media file. Read up on fair-use and "sound bites".

But what's more important about MoH is that unless you're running a server that handles your call holds and streaming of the audio file(Asterisk, Freeswitch, 3CX etc.), MoH would place load on the FPL/Fongo servers, while one or two people may not be an especially large additional load or storage capacity, think about 10, 20, 30,000 users wanting to store and stream their own MoH files.

-------

Other Settings,
The rest of the settings you're concerned with are handled inside the ATA's web interface in one way or another and require a bit of research and a bit of techy-style common sense... shall we call it jargon-sense? :P
You'll notice in the ATA's advanced features tab that there's a spot to set-up the user and the line.

The Line section handles most of the technical information of your account (What codecs to use, what server to connect to etc.) the User section handles some simple versions of speed-dial lists etc.

Note that speed dials can also me imitated in the dial-string allowing for essentially limitless speed-dial possibilities, and can also be used to set-up direct SIP dials.
