3102 and DECT phones?
Hi all,
I recently was given a linksys 3102. I was able to get it working with a spare analogue telephone. I was planning on getting a DECT cordless phone to use with it. I came across this review below, hopefully I'm not breaking any rules posting external links.. triplew.voiptalk.org/products/Linksys+SPA+3102_review_193.html You see the reviewer mentions plugging in a DECT phone to a 3102 and requiring RJ11 adapters. Can anyone explain why these are required? Thanks again! |
Linksys SPA 3102 Review
As the review says "Apparently the wiring is different..." The RJ11 has 6 contact positions, and I notice some of the newer cables only wire up the middle 2 contacts. The phone used in the review must have been wired differently. I suspect that if you are using a North Amercan purchased phone, you will not need any adaptor, and the standard cable that comes with the phone should work fine. |

Correct - the SPA3102 uses American connectors. You'll need a UK -> US converter, preferably with the resistor so it can ring (you can get these for about £7 at Maplin - Maplin > BT/US Adaptors FYI I have an SPA3102 with a DECT unit, working quite nicely :) |
