How do I make the PAP2T-NA ring the phone that is connected to it?
The phone will ring when plugged into the wall, so I know its ringer works and is turned on.
In the PAP2T-NA settings under User 1 there are some entries under “Distinctive Ring Settings” labeled “Ring 1 Caller”, “Ring 2 Caller”, etc. All of these are blank. Is there supposed to be something in there that makes the phone ring?
Under “Regional”, “Ring and Call Waiting Tone Spec”, the settings are:
Ring Waveform = Sinusoidal
Ring Voltage = 70
Synchronized Ring = no
Ring Frequency = 25
CWT Frequency = 440@-10
These are all default, out-of-the-box settings.
Are they correct?
Finally, on the astrecipes.net page on “Installing the Linksys PAP2-NA port adapter”, it said to set Regional->Hook Flash Timer Min to 0.05, which I did, but now I can’t remember (or find) the default setting, think it was 0.1. The instructions said “needed for European phones so that the flash hook works” which doesn’t apply to me since this isn’t a European phone anyway. Anyone know what the default setting was, and does it matter for the purposes of getting the phone to ring?
Guess I didn’t put enough keywords in the post. Glad you figured it out!
Good morning, kheston.
Hmmm… I searched the forum for “PAP2 ring” but your post didn’t come up. Or, it did and I didn’t see it.
It would have been helpful, in any case, if Linksys would ship a little bit of documentation with their product. I don’t know how they expect anyone to be able to use it on anything besides Vonage (maybe that’s the idea…)
