Absolutely NO. Don't ask why

can any body tell me is it possible to connect my x-lite softphone to cisco ata 186 so that i can use the dialer without losing the sound quality provided by the ata. and if it is so, hwo to configure it, and what will b entries in sip.conf and extensions.conf file.

It isn't a strange set of characters... it spells PSSWD which stands for password. It's locked and requires an 8 digit password from vonage...it's $15.00 to get it from them

I have never set a password on my ATA. I have two boxes and I was recently setting up one to run through asterisk and now iI can't get into my dev page. It keeps telling me to put in a password that I don't know. I've always had issues using the phone config with it sicne I bought it, but I've always been able to use the dev page until lastnight. My friend and I got it to work through asterisk, but we only got a busy signal. So we setup the tftp deal and then the ATA stopped working. perhaps we made a misjudgement when setting up the tftp but it was setup before running it through the asterisks and it worked fine. How can I reset it without a password that I never set on the box. I've tried every single password for the different accounts and nothing. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated as this is annoying and my only source of long distance other than buying phone cards. Thanks a bunch

Doesn't work for me.. Just spells out some strange set of characters.. (:cry:)
