SPA400 Internet Telephony Gateway with 4 FXO Ports
Administration and Configuration Guide v1.0
Using the SPA400
The SPA400 features the ability to connect up to four (4) standard analog telephones
lines to a Linksys Voice System (LVS) VoIP network and includes the additional
benefit of a voicemail application. A total of 4 SPA400 devices can be configured per
SPA9000 utilizing up to 16 analog phone lines and automatically routing calls to and
from your existing PSTN telephone service.
Designed to be implemented only with a SPA9000, the SPA400 enables cost-
conscience business users to utilize the high value features on the LVS that are
typically found on much more expensive voice communications systems. The
SPA400 includes an integrated voicemail application supporting up to 32 voicemail
accounts with customized greetings, providing LVS users the ability to receive and
playback voicemail messages.
This section provides all the necessary steps to make the SPA400 operational with
the SPA9000 IP Telephony System. Refer to the other Chapters within this guide for
information about configuring the SPA9000.
Understanding How the SPA400 Interacts with the SPA9000
The SPA400 provides the SPA9000 access to the PSTN by connecting the FXO
ports to analog lines. There are specific "Line" settings on the SPA9000 that are
configured to recognize a SPA400 as a service enabling calls from an IP Phone on a
LVS network to be routed out to the PSTN and vice versa. The SPA400 sets up and
tears down calls between the PSTN and IP Phones offering seamless telephone
service with Linksys VoIP equipment.

Using the SPA9000 Setup Wizard

It is highly recommended that the SPA9000 Setup Wizard is used to install and
configure the SPA400 Telephony Gateway on a LVS network. Version 1.1.0.3 (or
higher) of the SPA9000 Setup Wizard supports the SPA400 for the initial or an
existing LVS installation.
Connect the SPA400 to the network via the Ethernet port before running the
SPA9000 Setup Wizard.
