As you may have noticed in another thread, I am in the process of
setting myself up with VoIP.

I seem to be in business more-or-less now with my SPA2012 ATA - I can
make and receive calls. My plugged-in analogue phone does not ring, but
I understand that is because I am missing a ring capacitor in the
RJ11-BT cable, and I am getting a correct one.

The main issue is that I don't seem to be able to get a UK dial tone.
Instead I hear a rapid beep. The engaged tone seems about right. I am
trying to use the regional settings I found on this web page
http://www.voipfone.co.uk/Support.php?cat_id=14&id=172

The problem seems to be that changes to the Call Progress Tones do not
make any difference. I tried changing the Dial Tone to be the same as
the Engaged Tone in the above webpage and it made not a jot of
difference. So it seems like there is maybe a box to check sonmewhere
to say "take regional settings", but I cannot find such a thing.

Any ideas

Cheers

Steve

If it helps, here is precisely what I have for Call Progress Tones

If you have a spare ADSL filter plug that in tandem with the existing
adapter. You will then find that your phone will ring.

If you haven't got a spare filter try a different phone, many don't
require a bell capacitor, in particular DECT phones and phones on FAX
machines usually ring regardless

Thanks. Wish I'd known that before I ordered another lead. I checked
the ring tone problem on another (DECT) phone and it was the same, but
not the ringing issue.

Try this one - it is for a SPA2002 but they are essentially the
same from the point of view of dial tones etc.

Thanks. That may be useful for all sorts of reasons, but my current
problem is that whatever I set the dial tone to it sounds the same (and
wrong).

I'd suspect a syntax error in what you've put. It should be exactly this,
with no embellishments or removals (this is taken straight from my
SPA2000 config):

350@-19,440@-22;10(*/0/1+2)

I take it that it is 'sticking' and you have tried rebooting the
SPA2102...

Use the BIG mirror service in the UK:
http://www.mirrorservice.org

*lightning protection* - a w_tom conductor

I now have a new Sipgate line configured and the dial tone is fine on
that. So must be something to do with Voipfone. I guess I'll check the
line settings, and if I can't see problems contact them for support.

Ah. Voipfone may be sending an override command.

Sticking? The beeping continues contstantly - it is not just a few
times. That what your mean?

Yup, I've rebooted once or twice!
