Cisco ATA SPA-2102


We recommend first that you upgrade your Linksys SPA-2102 to the latest firmware version from Cisco.


Quick Guide

The Linksys SPA2102 is a low-cost Analogue Telephone Adapter that offers 2 ports allowing you to connect 2 phone lines to SIPcity. The SPA2102 (unlike the PAP2T) also supports T.38 for reliable fax transmission over IP, so you can also connect a fax machine to this service.

  • Dial ****

  • You should hear ‘Configuration Option Menu’

  • Dial 73738# (RESET#)

The SPA-2102 should now have been reset to factory default settings.

You may need to do the following to set up web management depending on which interface you are coming in on:

  • Dial **** into the phone connected to the ATA device

  • You should hear ‘Configuration Option Menu’

  • Dial 7932 then press 1 to enable.
