Hardware Options

[MacGyverLabs]

Is this something you guys would be interested in?

From my perspective, it's worth an extra $10 to me to have both an extra port, and to "standardize" on a proven, common, stable device (meaning, from a support standpoint, I only need to know the details and idiosyncrasies of a single device). So, sans introduction of another device more solid as the PAP2T, I will probably stick with the PAP2T.

That said, I welcome choice and encourage you guys to reach outside the box and offer options... so long as support for the tried-and-true does not suffer (based on what I've seen of VoIPo thus far, definitely not a concern), and I will be able to specify the exact adapter model I want when ordering for a customer. Like USA2K said... "ensure clear product selections versus 'an adapter' of some kind that could vary".

You never know... when that next VoIP/router combo comes out and starts working like a champ, I may just have to move my allegiance!

I think you would find the HT-502's are now exceptionally stable and the issues with them were fixed several firmware updates ago. It has been stable for me and I find it a better device than the PAP2T.

The 502's are a touchy subject for us. Let not relive that.

However, the 286 is still being used on one of my accounts. I feel I could structure something, perhaps a lite package with only the 286 (one line only), and a delux package with the PAP2 (two lines with more options).

So, yes.

I have a couple HT286 when provisioning needs some testing.

Even now, with two types of approved ATAs, doesn't it make sense that when a MAC ID is recorded to the system, that the Device Type also be recorded? It might make managed provisioning simpler.

It looks like the SPA2102 may be worth adding to the hardware line-up.

SPA2102

• SPA = Sipura Phone Adapter?
• 2 = LAN Ports
• 1 = WAN Port
• 2 = Phone Ports

Not sure with VOIPo buying power, how low you could get it?
There should be something like the RT31P2 even if it costs a bit more.

Comparatively, the PAP2T lists for $49.95

I am getting the feeling that Cisco does not make the RP31P2 anymore.

PS

SPA3102 is also a good candidate for $68.50 Retail

It can leverage existing PSTN if needed too.

I see new stuff at https://cp.voipwelcome.com/hardware
False alarm. Just redundant menu links.

That would be accurate.
