Linksys SPA8000

The Linksys SPA8000-G1 8-Port IP Telephony Gateway is a full featured Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) for small business enterprises providing enhanced communication services via a broadband connection to the Internet.

The SPA8000 features eight RJ-11 FXS ports to connect analog telephones to IP-based data networks and includes a single multi-port RJ-21 50-pin connector offering an alternative connection choice when deploying the telephony gateway in varied environments. The device also has one 10/100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet interface to connect to either a router or multi-layer switch.

STEP 1
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (included) to the ETHERNET port of the SPA8000. Connect the other end to your Cable/DSL modem.

Connect one end of a different Ethernet cable to the AUX port of the SPA8000. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port (network card) of your PC.

Power on the cable/DSL modem and then power on the SPA8000.

STEP 2
Make sure your PC is setup to obtain an IP address automatically. This will allow your PC to obtain an IP address from your SPA 8000.
