Comment on SPA942 Personal Directory by Geoff Jacobs

I don’t know why some people are having issues with this and others aren’t. Seems really strange.
Not sure why it would matter, but the phones I’ve been using are AU models. I wouldn’t think that would make a difference, as they seem to use the same firmware.
What you entered looked fine. I know there are options in the phones to restrict access to the web interface – maybe check that those aren’t on.

I have recently bought a couple dozen of them spa942 telephones and I stumbled on your blog…

Interested this post I opened a putty instance and logged in to my asterisk box, Here i pasted the string and fired the command only to see my unix box spew out:
Connecting to 192.168.10.136:80… connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response… No data received. Retrying.

I’ve read the previous comments and identified the form field names in the html file. I put in the following : wget –post-data ‘24046=n%3DGeoff;p%3D6004;r%3D1&23982=n%3DMatt;p%3D6001;r%3D1′ http://192.168.10.136/pdir.spa

where 24046 and 23982 are the field names identified in the html file…

Any help would be appreciated,

Ok, I can confirm that I’m using 6.1.3(a) as well without any issues.
Try wget from linux, but also perhaps pay close attention to the quotation marks you’re using.
Also, check your wget syntax for post-data
On Linux it’s

--post-data

where as you’ve got

-post-data

(one leading dash rather than two – might just be the way my blog renders things though).
Let me know how you go.

I’ve never tried with wget from windows, so not sure if there’s a difference there.
I’ve also noticed in the past that when the firmware updates, so do the ID’s of the form fields. Check the source of pdir.htm to check that the ‘17006′ matches up with one that’s there.
I’m not sure about the firmware version you’re using. I’ll try and check up tomorrow to see what I’m running on our system. If I get a chance I’ll update a handset and let you know.

No probs
Yeah, they’re nice and easy. Just put some dirt in a bottle, throw in some moss, add water, shake and let it sit on a window sill
Congrats on the shop / studio btw. Looks awesome

Haven't really done too much with SIP URI's sorry. Someone else may be able to help. Can also check out the linksys forums, there are some useful posts over there.

Onno :

Thanks for the posts.
Can you please help me in how I can successfully call a SIP URI instead of a Phonenumber, using the SPA942?
Somehow it doesn’t work for me with the SPA942, although using a softphone like x-lite there’s no issue.
Thanks,
