![]() I work from home, with the PC at my office desk. I like my SMSlisto (Betamax) softphone which make a fantastic hands-free speakerphone. I would also like to use SMSlisto downstairs - ideally without the requirement ofr the PC to be on. I posess a Linksys PAP3 ATA - not currently in use. AIUI, you cannot be logged in on the softphone and by SIP on an ATA. Any workarounds ? The best I can think of is: 1. Use a USB ATA (works with the softphone - I think), but requires the PC to be on. 2. Get a separate account, eg on POIVY, and use the SIP ATA - but requires both refilling every 90 days. Thanks.

Jack With the Linksys PAP3 (well with the SPA3102) you can make calls without registering. Is that not what you want to do? I'm not entirely sure what happens if you attempt to make calls at the same time? |

Jack It's true that the Betamax softphone will warn you (not immediately) that there is a another device logged into your account but that does not stop you making simultaneous calls on other devices. Not heard of a PAP3, is it a PAP2? I have a PAP2 and each half has its own DECT basestation and handset, both halves use the same smslisto account -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

Just tried it and you're right the softphone gets logged out. As I said, you can use x-lite instead. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

![]() various snips [jono]: Use a different Softphone on your PC on your office desk. [jack]: I really don't understand this statement. AFIK you have to use the specific softfone (SMSlisto). Even if that were true, it would still have to log in, leaving the log in twice problem when an a SIP ATA is also used. [nick]: With the Linksys PAP3 (well with the SPA3102) you can make calls without registering. Is that not what you want to do? I'm not entirely sure what happens if you attempt to make calls at the same time? [jack]: The ATA has to log in, as does the softphone [graham}: It's true that the Betamax softphone will warn you (not immediately) that there is a another device logged into your account but that does not stop you making simultaneous calls on other devices.

I have a PAP2 and each half has its own DECT basestation and handset, both halves use the same smslisto account Just tried it and you're right the softphone gets logged out. As I said, you can use x-lite instead. [jack]: Yes, it's a PAP2. I have no idea what x-lite is. Sounds like you use a single PAP2 and no softfone hence no prblem. So it would appear there seems no way round this - ie use the softfone and a SIP ATA at the same time. (I don't mean make calls at the same time, just be logged in and available to make calls) |

I can't be bothered to argue with you using non standard language. If you took the trouble to understand the correct terms you may find the answer to your problem. |

![]() Try this download this softphone, it's regarded as the standard generic application, and is quite safe. It will work with smslisto. http://www.counterpath.com/x-lite.html When launched for the first time it will present you with the SIP Accounts dialogue display name=smslisto user name the CLI you want to present in +44 format* (ot leave blank) password=your smslisto password Auth. user name=your smslisto user name domain=sip.smslisto.com Leave all other settings as they are. * it will only work as a CLI if you authorise it with the smslisto softphone first. Hope this helps. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

![]() snip AIUI log in is not a term used by SMSlisto or PAP2. I can't be bothered to argue with you using non standard language. If you took the trouble to understand the correct terms you may find the answer to your problem. Strange, the bottom of the SMSlisto softfone window on my monitor states: "The client is logged on". Non standard language/terms. |

Hope this helps. Thanks for that. I was not aware you could use other softfones instead of the supplied SMSlisto one. I'll give it a shot. Cheers. |
