[Asterisk-Users] Sipura SPA-3000 Beta

[Michael Graves]

Hi All,

I'm on of those brave souls who bought into the preproduction beta of
the Sipura SPA-3000 FXS/FXO adapter. I've had the unit a few days and
am exploring it's workings. I really want it mostly as a
straightforward FXO adapter, to replace an X101p. Let me be clear, I'd
love to support Digium in every way possibe, and will likely buy a
TDM40 card shortly. But, the X101p has never worked well for me.

In any case, with respect to incomming calls on the SPA-3000 I do see
one odd thing happening that perhaps someone here can provide relevent
guidance. When a call arrives at the PSTN port the SPA-3K takes three
rings to pick it up. In this way it extracts caller id et al from the
line. Once it picks up the line its internal dialplan is set to
immediatel call forward (what Sipura calls Hotline syntax) to an
extension on my * server (in fact a SNOM 200.) 

Everything generally works, but once the SPA-3K answers the line the
caller on the other end no longer gets ringing tone while * rings the
SNOM phone. They get silence. Is there something in * that requires
setup so that they here ring tone until the extension is picked up?

The basic setup of the SPA-3K as a SIP device is very like that for my
existing SPA-2000. I simple changed the line in my local outbound
dialing macro from zap/g1 to SIP/3015 and voila, outbound dialing
through the SPA. FWIW, Sipura looks to be issuing firmware quickly at
the moment, and they are participating in a forum hosted by Voxilla for
the beta users.
