What does your dialplan look like that makes the paging call?

Listing from my Asterisk:

   '8000' =>         1. Set(SIP_CODEC=alaw)
                     2. 
Dial(MulticastRTP/linksys/224.168.168.168:45678/224.168.168.168:6061)
                     3. Hangup()


Using the Web Interface on you SPA501, log in as admin and select the 
advanced view. Select the SIP tab, down the bottom of the page there is 
a section headed 'Linksys Key System Parameters'.

You will want settings much like

Linksys Key System:  yes
Multicast Address:   224.168.168.168:6061
Key System Auto Discovery:  no
Key System IP Address:   <leave blank>
Force LAN Codec: 711a <may be set to none, G711a or G711u>
Auto Ans GrPage On Active Call:  no

Select the User tab and check

Auto Answer Page:  yes

If you have it all configured much like I have listed hear and it still 
doesn't work then you need to check the firewall configuration on your 
Asterisk  system and ensure it is allowing outbound Multicast traffic.
