The different versions are for the different versions of PA1688
phones/ata's.

In my Case, the ip PHONE is identified by its label...

Type HOP-1002  Rev 004  << the rev is important)
Hirakawa Electronics Co Ltd

Their home page is www.5111soft.com

As its a Rev 004 its actually a PingHE load.
if it was a Rev 008 its a 5111Phone load.

I use their ATA unit as well its an AG-168

Looking at their home page (which in typical chinese fashion is in
Chinglish, but note the download names...

The AG-168 uses a PA168Q load.

You must research your hardware !!

Just a tip for those playing with their phones ata/'s for the first
time...

You have a good chance of screwingup your loading, particularly with
a wrong version.. I personally recommend playing with phones over ata's
at first.... recovery technique ...

remember what the factory default base addess is, in majority of cases 
its 192.168.1.100 but depending upon manufacturer & model it might 
be different.

Hold the * key down whilst turning on phone, You must do this twice 
(turn on's in succession). Presto, you are back at default.


Have fun,

Gary
