GATE 102 - 1 Port VoIP Phone Adapter with Built in Router
This device allows you to use a standard analogue
telephone for VOIP (Voice over IP) and connect a computer, hub or switch to share your internet connection. This device also allows

The adaptor has the following connectors.
LINE - To connect your adaptor to a normal analogue phone (PSTN) line.
PHONE - To connect a regular telephone.
LAN - To connect to your PC or other peripherals.

IMPORTANT: The Gate 102 has a built in router, it is recommended you do not cascade it behind another router (ie. do not connect the WAN port into a router). This will ensure you have minimal call connection problems and get the best quality for your calls.
After logging in to your adaptor select SUPER OPTIONS > SIP Settings from the menu. Fill in the following details where 0844XXXXXX is your freespeech username/phone number. Make sure you click "SaveSet" at the bottom of the page after changes.
In SUPER OPTIONS > Audio Settings - set your preferred codec to G729, this is the best compromise between speech quality and low bandwidth.

Problem solving
If you have problems you may be behind a NAT (router) without knowing it. As we said above it's best not to connect this device behind a router. If you have problems getting the device online, incoming calls or silent calls you can try activating STUN in SUPER OPTIONS > SIP Settings as follows.
