Reset Moto TA?

Is there any way to factory reset the TA?

I can no longer connect to the TA web interface because I accendently turned off DHCP/NAT on the TA (Pass Thru mode). Since it will longer assign an IP address to anything connecting to it, I cannot use the 192.168.102.1 http address to see it.

Anybody?

Also, Can I get the TA to get a Static Internal IP behind my router instead of grabbing a dynamic IP? Forwarding and Priortizing port traffic to a dynamic IP is kinda silly, aint it? If the IP of the TA changes, WIll my phone go out?

If you assign a static IP address to your computer in the 192.168.102.0 subnet, you should still be able to get to the web interface from the LAN port. Even in pass-through mode.

Once there, you can set a static IP address to the WAN port.

Alternatively, you can add the MTA's MAC address to your DHCP server's database so it gets the same IP address every time.

Even more alternatively, don't bother with static IP or port forwarding. Most SPI firewalls handle this just fine. If you need to prioritize, just use ports.

That worked!

Thanks
I now have the TA set to a static IP.

Is there a better way to setup?

In terms of QOS,
Is it better to set the Voip ports at a higher priority..
or
Is it better to set frequent upload ports to low priority..

Thanks for your help

I agree with RemyJ for the static IP but turning off the DHCP/NAT feature on the MTA will prove alot of problems.

If your lucky enough to get to the MTA web configuration then try punching in at a address bar:

http://192.168.102.1/admin.html

This will get you to the factory reset page.

Hope this helps.

First, have you verified you actually NEED QoS in the first place?
What are your downlonk/uplink speeds and what router are you using?

In general it's probably easier to raise the priority on ports 10000:10010 then try to lower everything else.

Are you saying that NOT using the MTA's DHCP and NAT causes problems? My direct experience with multiple installations is exactly the opposite especially with multiple computer setups with an existing router. In each of these cases, puttin the MTA on the local side of the router as just a simple device with nothing attached to its LAN port was the most stable for both voice and data.

I dont think I need QOS, but it cant hurt.
Im using a linksys WRT54G router with the Sveasoft firmware.
Speeds are 9500/950 (Cablevision OOL)
but I may go back to DSL (1500/384) so I want to make sure QOS works.

I just set a lower priority on the news and mail upload ports.

I probably don't need to, but I want the Voip configuration to be as transparent as possible. The wife will complain if the phone breaks up becasue I decided to email a large file or VPN from work.

I am running the MTA behind the router on a static IP with the appropriate UDP ports forwarded to it. It did work without the port forwarding, but I thought a static IP on my LAN would be easier to watch.

I dodn't really need a reset, I just needed to get back to the config page, which I can do now.

Thanks again.

Makes perfect sense.

I have the same setup as you, WRT54g, with sveasoft's firmware. Do you have a subscription, because the free one that is out there now has issues with the QoS.

As for how to set it up. On the router, make your dynamic ports(assuming your computers are all dynamic IPs) start at 192.168.1.101(assuming 192.168.1 range of course) Then give your Vonage box a static IP of 192.168.1.100(don't forget to enter your correct gateway!), that way you can never have a conflict.

Next go to the QoS section on the router, insert your upload and download speeds, and enter 192.168.1.101/28 in low priority source netmasks and Low priority destination Netmasks. Then you can remove all your port mappings, and Vonage will get the highest QoS at all times, no matter what you are doing.

I was playing an online game, browsing web sites, and downloading a linux patch while my non-tech wife was on the phone the other day, and she never knew what I was doing because the phone never skipped a beat. Sure my download speed sucked, but as soon as she hung up, it was fine. With this setup I can add and remove computers or whatever else whenever I want, and my phone will always get the highest priority.

What version of SVEsoft are you using?

Thanks!

And don't you mean high priority?
