PAP2 LINKSYS

Posts: 3 · New Forum Member Joined: Jul 17, 2008 Posts: 3

Location is Bangalore and ISP is BSNL. I am using a Huawei WA1003a router.
Router is configured to use PPPoE with proper username and password
DHCP server is on in the router's configuration
I am able to browse the net successfully.
I have a Linksys PAP2 with 2 ports for Voip, one ethernet port.

Connection:
I have connected Router's ethernet port and Linksys ethernet port.
LinkSys Phone1 to the telephone

Linksys power is on and ethernet light is steady, but the phone1 light is not on.
I am not able to hear any dial tone.

I tried to get the IP assigned to the Linksys using 110# and the ip was
192.168.1.3 and DHCP configuration is Server On with starting IP = 192.168.1.2 and ending ip = 192.168.1.254

Any suggestions ?

First I assume that you only have the top 2 lights on. If this is the case try powering everything down. Then power up the router first. After it is up and running turn on the computer and verify that you can still get on the internet. If that is ok then power up the PAP2 and give it several minutes. You should then see 3 blue lights and your phone should work.

If that doesn't work, please post the details listed in the sticky message at the top of the forum- in particular the results of the forum Voip speed test.

Hi Steve / Hairball,

Thanks for your replies. I tried all your suggestions. But no luck. Only the power and LAN LEDs come ON. But not the Phone LED.

Note: The same PAP2 unit is working fine with WA3002G4 which is of only 256Kbps. But I am interested to connect this PAP2 unit to WA1003A router which is of 2 Mbps line. In both the cases the broadband service provide is BSNL only.

Thanks and regards.

That is really odd. I wonder if there is any other configuration issues that need to be addressed between the WA3002G4 and the WA1003A routers. First of all, was the WA3002G4 a router that automatically signed you onto the 256 kbps service?

In other words, for your computer to surf the net, did you have to change any setting at all? When it works with one router but not another, usually there is a slight difference in the configuration that needs to be tweaked in order for it to work.

sreekanth,

I just read here at this blog site some instructions for your first router, WA3002G4 found here http://technodata.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-configure-pppoe-mode-in-ut300r2u.html:

How to share the internet connection among more than one Computer?

Just connect LAN cable from Ethernet port of ADSL Modem to a HUBs first port(uplink) instead of P.C. All P.C's will be connected to Hub through LAN cables. Remember one important thing that is all computers in LAN must have same workgroup. So set Unique workgroup to all of the computers in the LAN.

In all machines set the TCP/IP properties as 1. Obtain an IP address automatically and 2. Obtain DNS server address automatically. In Windows XP, Vista machines there is no need to enter gateway address 192.168.1.1 but in Windows 98 machines you have to set the gateway address as 192.168.1.1 in TCP/IP properties. After these settings internet will come in all machines.

According to this blog, it looks like your old router had to use a hub in order for your to connect a computer and your PAP2 at the same time. Is this correct with your previous experience?

having information like this will be useful in figuring out what needs to be changed etc.

Consider visiting this forum: http://www.indiabroadband.net/internet/f-12.html

for more specific BSNL issues.

Again, please give us all details. Was the following your previous setup?

DSL -> WA3002G4 -> PAP2 and no computer connected? Or did you have

DSL -> WA3002G4 -> HUB -> PAP2 and computer?

One last item: Have you tried the following?

Quote:

1. I don’t hear a dial tone, and the PHONE1 (or PHONE2) LED is not lit.
Go through this checklist until your problem is solved:
• Make sure the telephone is plugged into the appropriate port, PHONE 1 or PHONE 2. (You should use the
Phone 2 port only if you have more than one phone line.)
• Make sure the ETHERNET LED on the front panel of the Phone Adapter is lit. If it is not lit, then check your
router and network connection to the Internet.
• Pick up the telephone. Press 80#. Hang up the telephone. Wait approximately 30 seconds. Then pick up
the telephone; you should now have a dial tone.
• Follow these instructions to reboot your cable or DSL modem, Phone Adapter, and router:
1. Power off your cable or DSL modem by unplugging its power adapter.
2. Power off the router by unplugging its power adapter.
3. Power off the Phone Adapter by unplugging its power adapter.
4. Wait two minutes, and then power on your cable or DSL modem by plugging its power adapter into
an electrical outlet.
5. Wait two minutes, and then power on the router by plugging its power adapter into an electrical
outlet.
6. Wait five minutes, and then power on the Phone Adapter by plugging its power adapter into an
electrical outlet.
7. Reboot one of your networked computers, and check to see if you have an active Internet
connection.
8. Pick up the telephone. You should now have a dial tone.
• Set up port forwarding on your router. You must specify that four port ranges be forwarded to the IP
address of the Phone Adapter. These four port ranges are as follows: 5060-5061 (UDP), 53-53 (UDP),
69-69 (UDP), and 10000-20000 (UDP).
Before you set up port forwarding on your router, change two of the Phone Adapter’s settings using its
Interactive Voice Response Menu. First, disable its DHCP feature, and then assign a static IP address to
the Phone Adapter. Refer to “Chapter 4: Using the Phone Adapter’s Interactive Voice Response Menu” for
instructions.

The above quote was in the troubleshooting section. I think it would be best to set the ip address as static for your PAP2 and do some port forwarding as instructed. This would require you to disable DHCP in your Huawei router.
