Linksys SPA3102

The Linksys SPA-3102 (replacement for the SPA3000) features the ability to connect standard telephones and fax machines to IP-based data networks with the additional benefit of an integrated connection for legacy telephone network "hop-on, hop-off" applications. SPA3102 users will be able to leverage their broadband phone service more than ever by automatically routing local calls from mobile phones and land lines over to VoIP service providers and vice versa. If power is lost to the unit or Internet service is down, calls can be redirected to a traditional carrier via the FXO interface.

A user calling from a mobile phone or land line will be able to reduce and even eliminate international and long distance telephone charges by first calling their SPA3102 via a local telephone number. The advanced authentication and call routing intelligence programmed into the SPA-3102 will route the call via the Internet to the far end destination. In addition, when using the SPA3102 at the far end, VoIP calls placed to that location can be either answered or further processed and routed on as a local call to any legacy land line or mobile phone.

The SPA-3102 supports one RJ-11 POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) FXS port to connect an existing analog phone or fax machine. The SPA3102 also supports one PSTN FXO port to connect to a Telco or PBX circuit. The SPA3102 includes 2 100BaseT RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces to connect to a home or office LAN, as well as an Ethernet connection to a broadband modem or router. The SPA3102 FXS and FXO lines can be independently configured via software controlled by the service provider or the end user.

1. I bought 2 of these units and was able to create a setup where having a phone line plugged into 1 unit with a analog phone and an analog phone plugged into the other unit, be able to call between the 2 units over a local network and have the second unit use the phone line plugged into the first unit.
   Great if you have a wireless bridge between 2 building/houses and want to cut costs of having to pay for a phone line at both locations.

2. Great stuff James, thanks for sharing.
   
   Extending an analog line over WiFi is a common thing that people ask us about.
