Linksys PAP2 Configuration

The following instructions are working great for my Linksys PAP2T, which connects to Gizmo5 and Google Voice.

I was lucky enough to sign up for Gizmo5 before they were acquired by Google and have been using it to connect out from Google Voice for a while.  I’m having problems with initiating calls to my VoIP line from Google Voice, but outbound calls don’t seem to have problems.  I think that there are integration problems (as of this writing in early March, 2010) because I think the Gizmo5 servers moved to a Google datacenter recently.

    • Password: <<YOUR GIZMO5 PASSWORD>>
    • DTMF Process INFO: No
    • DTMF Process AVT: No
    • DTMF Tx Method: AVT

It involved a bit of trial and error to get things working, but this configuration appears to be very solid.

Edit (2010-06-11): I changed the DTMF Tx Method to AVT.  When set to InBand, I was unable to access several conference call bridges and other phone systems that relied on DTMF.  Since making that change, all has worked well.
