question: on MJ with an ATA?

[kitkat0981]

So my MJ no longer works on my asterisk, so I thought of connecting it a different way.

Windows7 box with MJ on USB -> ATA -> network -> Asterisk as extension/Trunk

Would this work, and if so, what ATA should I get? An FXS or FXO?

Make / Model would be appreciated also if possible,

Problem is not asterisk or ata but MJ password-a-go-go that we are currently experiencing. Prospects for an easy cure are not looking good. MJ really put a lot of cleverness and effort into this recent roadblock and it looks like it may be unhackable or may require a unique solution for each individual device. The best we can do so far is a solution that requires constant communication with your dongle. Different solution for V4 dongles. tho.

Try nettalk duo or whistlephone.com, both of which can be used with you ata

Thanks for the info crackerjack but ignorant as I am, what is ATA? Also how do you tell if you have a V4 dongle?

Just ordered NT Duo. Since it can be plugged into router, same as ATA, why would I want to go through the SIP credentials hassle so I could run on ATA? More features via ATA perhaps?

OP mentioned asterisk where he would require sip credentials to use his account in most flexible fashion. Sip credentials are inherent in whistlephone acct and easily derived from NT Duo.
As for your situation w/DUO, it is an actual ATA, just plug into your router and roll..

[oldtimercurt]

That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming.

If it is the same as the TK6000, they do not offer caller ID with call waiting. With your SIP credentials and an ATA, it is supported. So, that is one reason to use an ATA with nettalk.

Not sure if that applies to the DUO.

Use FXO Port to your MJ Dongle, or whatever you are using for analogue dialtone to the world, you can use the FSX Port to an analogue extension on your asterisk network too on this device

it's a little old but still releavent on the concept I am talking about

Good Luck!

I have a Grandstream ATA with the MJ connected to the FXO port. That works, sort of. I don't get CID and the audio quality through the dongle is dung.
