TPG Voip Settings for Linksys SPA3102

Long time, no posts. Been quite busy with end of uni semmester & etc, plus been postin a bit on facebook.

Anyway…

Given that TPG have recently enabled ADSL2+ in our local exchange, we decided that it would be a good idea to make the move away from Netspace. Basically we will be getting double the speed and a similar quota for about half the price. :D

Anyway, we have for some time now been making use of VoIP for all of our phone calls (resulting in quite a considerable saving) through the use of a Linksys SPA 3102 ATA.

Upon reading the fine print for TPG it seemes that in order to make use of their "VoIP" plans, one must purchase their pre-configured VoIP ATA.. What a scam. Furthermore, upon registering on their site for "Softphone Voip", it seems that they don’t actually give out the settings for manually configuring you own VoIP gear. What a pain. I then decided to install the soft phone anyway and just have a look at what settings it came preconfigured with. The problem is that TPG are actually trying to be sneaky and their softphone is actually a standalone executable with which you just shove the username and password and then go. No configuration avaliable or user editable… :(

Furthermore none of the settings that I found on sites like Whirlpool gave me any success.

Anyway, after jumping on our router and having a look at all of the outgoing traffic, I found the following settings.

Proxy Server Address: gphone1.tpg.com.au
Use Outbound Proxy set to No
UserID: User Id given in sign up email (Same as per the instructions for setting up the TPG softphone.)
Pasword: Normal TPG User Account password

And finally, upon testing these on our ATA they worked fine. :)

    Hi Steve,

    Went down a similar path. Softphone from TPG, bought a 3102 and trying to connect the dots. I have a THOMSON ST536 ADSL modem – can’t see anywhere to let me set a proxy server address – or is this settable in the 3102 configuration?? Any help appreciated. :) .

    All of these settings go in your SPA3102

    On your SPA3102 you need to go to the voice tap, select the “Admin Login” and then “Advanced”. You then find scroll down to the “Proxy and Registration” area and enter the proxy address.

    I don’t suppose you have any more info about this??? Some screenshots of your settings that you’re using.

    I had my 3102 setup for faktortel (after i changed all the ringer settings) and working sweet and didn’t realise that I’d be complicating things by changing over to TPG…
