Re: Freeswitch for SOHO use (success stories or comments)
-
I hate to hijack this thread, but I've got freeswitch running on my pfsense firewall - it works great with flowroute and X-lite, but how do you begin to configure a Linksys SPA941 to work with it. I have looked all over the little web server that the phone has, and nothing looks familiar.
Any help you can give would be most appreciated!
Thanks -
Mark

SPA941 open up the web interface. On the spa942 you press the settings button that looks like a paper icon then press 9. It will then show you the ip address of the phone. I like Firefox but the linksys web interfaces work best in IE. If you don't have a choice then make sure to wait until the page loads completely. Sometimes has an issue with Firefox.
Click on the 'admin login' link on the right and then 'advanced'.
For the example I will use extension 1001 and a password of ai3k4lhfz
Ext 1 (tab)

By the way best to make sure your phone's firmware is upgraded to the latest. Unfortunately the SPA941 has not seen consistent upgrades like the SPA942 and SPA962. For new purchases go for one of those phones.
