[Asterisk-Users] using broadvoice and vonage hardware withAsterisk

[Shilliday, Jim]

So Asterisk can't send VOIP calls to Vonage -- but it is still possible
to use Vonage for flat-rate long distance by connecting the Vonage
AT-196 to an * FXS port, right?  The price is an extra D/A <--> A/D
conversion.

That worked with older versions of the ATA-186 firmware.  Cisco gave
providers like Vonage another level of locking to block that FACTRESET
code from working on ATA's that they'd locked.  ATA's in the field got
the new lock through a firmware update.  

They can choose to unlock the ATA and allow the FACTRESET code to work
again, but it's not likely you can get them to do it.

I believe that you should be able to reset any 186 to factory settings:
Pick up phone, press function button, enter 322873738#, and confirm
the reset with *.  Then, you can use the Web interface and/or IVR to
configure the ATA for use with Asterisk.

However, there is no easy way to configure Asterisk to use your Vonage
hardphone account, because the required credentials are transmitted
in encrypted form to the ATA, and reset to factory settings will wipe
them out.
