Businesses and ITSPs have long-needed an inexpensive way to connect legacy analog devices to a VoIP network, and Linksys announcement of the SPA8000 — an eight-port FXS Analog Terminal Adaptor device — early this year had many eagerly anticipating its release.

Finally, that time is here. The Linksys SPA8000 is now available in the United States.

We’ve been testing a unit Linksys made avaialble to us for several months. Read our First Look at the Linksys SPA8000-G1 or if you have already bought a unit, try the new Linksys SPA8000 Device Configuration Wizard.

Linksys officially retired the PAP2.

This shouldn’t be a big deal to most consumers as the PAP2 was more expensive than and not as functional as the PAP2T.

The retirement of the PAP2 may be an issue for service providers wanting uniform customer equipment.

Linksys announced the end of the SPA941/SPA942 four line upgrade license.

Starting with firmware version 5.1.10 for the SPA942 and firmware version 5.1.8 for the SPA941, the SPA94X series phones will automatically enable the ability to configure up to four unique extensions per phone.

The Linksys SPA962 Configuration Wizard is the latest addition to the Voxilla VoIP Device Configuraiton Wizard family.

This new configuration wizard has expanded service provider support and allows configuration of all six extensions.
