I don't have a 2100, but I'm assuming the spa3k works that same.

I'm simply do this in sip.conf:
 [1234]
 username=1234
 secret=mysecret

and in the spa3k do
 User ID: 1234
 Password: mysecret

So, the [1234] must match the spa3k's User ID; otherwise you get
a " - Username/auth name mismatch" on the CLI.

The secret must match the spa3k's Password; otherwise you get
a " - Wrong password" on the CLI.

The * username can be set to anything without impacting registration.

The spa3k's Display Name can be set to anything reasonable in terms of
a string. My string happens to look like "Rich & Marsha" without the
quotes. I since forgotten the max number of characters, but I'm thinking
it was something like 17.
