Linksys PAP2 / PAP2T Setting for Freephoneline

Setting up a Linksys PAP2/PAP2T for Freephoneline

Before you start configuring the adapter, make sure you have the following settings for your SIP account:

- SIP Server address (sometimes called SIP Proxy)

- SIP User ID (the phone number, with 1 in front of the area code)

- The password for the SIP account (a combination of letters and numbers)

To obtain these settings, you must contact Freephoneline and ask for your configuration file. There's a one time charge for this, currently $50 CAD + tax. They will send you a Word document with the settings.

Plug in the adapter (power, an Ethernet cable to your router and a phone into Line 1). Wait about 20 seconds then pick up the phone and dial ****110#. The adapter will read back (with voice) its IP address. Open a browser and enter that IP address. The Info page of the adapter will show up.

Click Admin Login on the right , then Switch to advanced view in the middle, to get access to Advanced VoIP settings pages.

Freephoneline.ca ATA Disconnect RESOLVE

The most comment support related issue at Freephoneline-Fongo is ATA voip disconnects and are related to Registration Interval.

As the owner of 13 voip ATA's and have sent many Freephoneline-Fongo support tickets. I also made many support phone calls to Freephoneline-Fongo. With the ATA; OBi, VTA-CV, Granddstream, etc) all issues have been resolved with setup changes.

It seems recently as of September 2013 all the ATA with default setting have had disconnect problems,  my question then, is Freephoneline-Fongo making changes, well I can not comment.   But I have had to re-setup all the ATA's that have been working for years until recent September 2013.

According to the latest study by the US National Health Information Survey released in June 2012 (link), from 2008 to 2012 the percentage of American households that only use wireless phones went from 17.5% to 34%. All the while, the percentage of households with a landline phone (with or without an accompanying cellphone) decreased from 79.1% to 63.6%. The trend is clear. Consumers are cutting their landlines in favor of cell phones at an ever increasing rate. There are many reasons for this behavioral shift. Smartphones are now ubiquitous. The majority of adolescents and adults have or would like to buy a smartphone. You can carry it around with you all day, others can reach you with one number, you can browse the web, write/read email, play games, listen to music and some users even have unlimited voice and data plans. It’s very convenient.


We believe that the primary reason why users are giving up landlines it that they cost too much. Why pay for 2 phones when you have one with you at all times that does so much more? That’s a very good question, but what if we told you can you can setup a home phone for practically nothing? Would you be interested then? No monthly fees. You can use regular phones and it’s free for life.
