5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent call quality with lots of setting to allow you to break it.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2013

I had previously bought a Freetalk Connect to make telephone calls over Skype. I had some issues with it not being able to dial all numbers and the call quality was quite poor.
I wanted some method of receiving calls over VoIP without paying Skype for a Skype-in number.
The result is I purchased this and signed up for a Sipgate account. I used the quick setup feature to configue it and it is working perfectly and the voice quality is so much better that the Freetalk Connect that I've ditched it rather than going with my original intention of connecting the two together so I could use either.

I didn't realise when I ordered it that this seller is based in germany so it took about 10 days after I received the shipment notification for it to arrive. It comes with a european power connector so an adapter is needed for the UK. It also used an RJ11 phone connector rather than the standard UK connector.

Set-up was simple. I just filled in the simple quick configure form and then went to the network tab to enable NAT. There are lots of things that can be changed but I left those well alone. The default Dial Plan is for the US and Canada but seemed to work for both 10 and 11 digit UK numbers. You may need to edit it if you want to dial other number formats. There is a good if somewhat difficult to follow description of dial plans on the Cisco web site. Documentation with the device is vary basic so to do anything clever you'll need to rely on web based documents.

My only gripes are that I'd have liked a line out port so that I could route some calls through PSTN (e.g. 999) or some way of getting the second line configuration to route to the phone on port one. so that I can have two different numbers but only one phone and if that is engaged to ring the phone on the other line. I know those are available at a higher price. It is only now I've got this that I think on these nice extras. I probably wouldn't use them if I had them.

Overall - I'd recommend the SPA112. It does everything I need.

I had looked for ages at these units and various manufacturers, my SIP provider had warned me that the type of device in general was problematic. I must admit I have not found this in the slightest. I've been using another economy SIP manufacturer for a while now and I don't think I will be back given my Cisco experience. This box has so far proven itself excellent. My only regret is not ordering the SPA122.

The box itself is a non-descript subtle unit with 4 LED on it. One tells you the WAN is live, one tells you the SIP channel has connected and the other tells you the power is on. It has two completely separate SIP channels, thus 4 LED. It runs on a low voltage power brick which in my case is a weird hybrid of a 2 pin Euro transformer, plugged into a universal converter with a UK plate attached that takes 2 pin Euro. This seems a bit cobbled together and left me wondering about the quality of the solution, it works well though and doesn't seem to get warm so I guess its reasonably efficient.

The unit generally feels well made and came in scratch proof packing, apart from that it's a black box. Literally.

The unit is configured via it's network interface, you plug it in and it hooks up with DHCP. You then find it, and it gets a bit more technical. The menu system is not for the faint hearted. This unit makes no pretences about being for the professional and semi-professional market. The menus whilst clear to an engineer who has time to study them are not what you would give to Granny to install. Many of the basic configurable you need simply to setup a basic authenticated SIP client are spread across several pages and hidden amongst many complex settings. I found the FAQ quite useful and it explained in very simple terms the settings for a specialised Fax compatible mode. I followed the instructions and it all worked beautifully, but even with this known usage model the HTML menus don't have the option to press a button for "Configure for Fax optimised mode". You have to wade through menus and options.

I would heartily recommend this unit, as a professional software engineer I would say to CISCO they need a "novice"/"advanced user" option on their menus. So far I like this unit though and I would suggest anyone non-technical asks their SIP providers support team to remote login via their PC to configure it if they have problems. You could dig a very deep hole, very easily on this unit.

The SPA122 unit is the same as this module but also comes with a built in Network port allowing users who would like their networked multi-purpose printer to use as few cables as possible to share the network connection used by the SIP comms. In hind sight I would have preferred this, but that's my lack of foresight not any fault of the unit. My unit is working very happily with an Epson WF-7525 fax machine multipurpose printer. Apparently fax via SIP is a problematic subject and this new unit is optimised to handle it better than previous versions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good investment but takes time to configure initially

Switched from a conventional landline to VOIP using this unit some months ago and it has run well, and has paid for itself in phone bill savings. It took some time to research and configure fully for UK use (hence the 4/5 score) but once set up there should be no need to change settings. Set up a Sipgate account to keep/manage our long-standing landline number - and to ensure emergency service calls are correctly associated with our physical address. Usage cost now absolutely minimal so worth the investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for old BT phones but be careful of which BT adapters to buy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2019
Verified Purchase
This was perfect for my elderly mother who recently had moved somewhere where there was no BT connection and told that the exchange was full and there would be a long wait for a line. Using the SPA112 connected to a 4g router, she is now able to continue using her existing BT phones (I used this with voipstudio). I upgraded the firmware first (downloaded from Cisco site), and found the set up very easy using SIP config instructions provided by voipstudio. The only thing that was frustrating was I ordered the wrong adapter (RJ45 to BT). Taking a chance I had a RJ11 to RJ11 cable lying around, I replaced the RJ11 to BT cable plugged into the back of the BT phone with the RJ11 to RJ11 cable and it worked fine, no adapter needed. Brilliant bit of kit at a reasonable price, will be buying another should the need arise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compatibile con Fritz!Box
Reviewed in Italy on 5 April 2020
Verified Purchase
Inutile discutere sulla qualità di un marchio, Cisco, che non ha bisogno di presentazioni. Il prodotto è vecchiotto, soprattutto perché a quanto vedo non è più così necessario come lo era qualche anno fa. Le aziende sono passate ai telefoni ip, i nuovi router consentono di gestire la fonia su voip e di effettuare il ribaltamento dell’impianto telefononico di casa: dunque il prodotto non ha avuto necessità di essere rinnovato.
Nel mio caso, non potendo portare un doppino dal mio modem VDSL a dove mi serviva ma vi arrivava un cavo ethernet (in precedenza usavo una delle coppie del cavo ma avevo così ridotto la velocità a 100MBit/s e creando un collo di bottiglia) ho fatto ricorso a questo ATA. Come sempre, quando si acquista un prodotto, ci si chiede se sarà compatibile con il proprio setup..se i protocolli dei propri apparati sono proprietari spesso non sono interoperabili. In particolare avrei voluto sapere se era possibile collegare questo ATA al mio fritz!Box 7530, specie su una subnet differente. Ebbene: si. Ed è stato semplicissimo, funzionando al primo colpo. Dunque un plauso a Cisco per questo SPA112 ed ad AVM per lo stupefacente 7530!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funciona muy bien pero...
Reviewed in Spain on 20 November 2017

Funciona muy bien pero el configurarlo la primera vez es un suplicio.

Para empezar hay que conectarlo a un router con DHCP activado, luego conectarle el teléfono y pulsar **** y luego 110# para que te diga que IP tiene en perfecto ingles. Luego si tienes suerte, pones esa IP en el navegador (no uses Firefox la primera vez), pones user/pass y ya lo puedes configurar con los valores de tu compañía VoIP.

En mi caso, como tenia un firm tan antiguo, aunque me asignaba IP el router de fibra no era capaz de verlo, por lo que no me podía conectar a él. La solución fue usar un viejo router de ADSL, conectar el adaptador SPA112 y conectar un ordenador al router ADSL para cambiarle el firm a la última versión (1.4.1 SR1 ). Una vez hecho esto, el router de fibra ya lo ve y te puedes conectar sin ningún problema desde cualquier equipo y con cualquier navegador ya que se ha solucionado un bug que impide a Firefox la conexión con algún firm antiguo.

Una vez has terminado de configurarlo con 1 o 2 lineas SIP, te olvidas de él. Puedes dejar el resto de la configuración por defecto que el equipo funciona perfectamente.

Si no quieres conectar un teléfono en el conector del SPA112 y quieres dejar los terminales donde los tenias previamente de la instalación de teléfono convencional, conectas un cable telefónico en el puerto que hayas configurado (en mi caso el 1) y luego a la roseta y ya puedo usar el terminal inalámbrico que tengo conectado a una roseta en el salón.

Yo lo he comprado para configurar una linea de Netelip y la fibra de Pepephone, ya que el router suministrado (F680) va capado y no se tiene acceso a la configuración SIP aunque el router sea capaz de gestionar la linea VoIP.

Recomendado.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works as it should, without fanfare or excitement (just what you want in a phone system)

I bought this as an first-step into VOIP... After arranging VOIP service through VOIP.ms I bought this interface to allow me to test and use my new VOIP service with my existing analog phones.

Configuration was easy: I just entered the proxy/server-name, and my account-number along with username/password credentials. And it worked. There are a ton of Admin/Advanced configuration options if you're so-inclined. There was a firmware-update available from Cisco, which I applied right-away - it was easy; about the same as updating any other network-device (download, upload, apply-and-watch-progress, then wait-for-reboot).

After a month of testing, it's performed exactly as it should. In use, this adapter is entirely invisible (just the way you want it to be!) - incoming calls make my phone ring like it always did, and picking up the handset to make an outgoing call "just works"!.

I've since added a Cisco real-VOIP phone, which operates alongside this SPA112 adapter - I plan to grow my home-phone-system with more real-VOIP phones, but it's comforting to know that I can do this at a measured pace, retaining my older phones for as long as I want with this device.

I happen to have placed my SPA112 on a rather large UPS, so I'll have phone and 911 service even in the event of a power-outage... You may want to consider a power-outage scenario too, and consider your options in the event of an emergency.
