Note
When using the Setup Wizard to configure the SPA400, disable other network cards on the PC where
you are running the Setup Wizard except for the card that is connected to the SPA9000 through the local
switch. Otherwise, the Setup Wizard may fail to properly locate the SPA400.
Understanding How the SPA400 Interacts with the SPA9000
The SPA400 features the ability to connect up to four standard analog telephones lines to a Linksys Voice
SPA9000 (LVS) VoIP network and includes the additional benefit of a voicemail application. A total of
four SPA400 devices can be configured per SPA9000, using up to 16 analog phone lines and
automatically routing calls to and from your existing PSTN telephone service.
Use the SPA400 for access to the PSTN by connecting its FXO ports to analog lines provisioned by the
local carrier. There are specific Line settings on the SPA9000 that are configured to recognize a SPA400
as a service enabling calls from an IP phone on a LVS network to be routed to the PSTN and vice versa.
The SPA400 sets up and tears down calls between the PSTN and IP phones, offering seamless telephone
service with Linksys VoIP equipment.
Using the SPA9000 Setup Wizard to Configure the SPA400
It is recommended that you use the SPA9000 Setup Wizard to install and configure the SPA400. Version
1.1.0.3 (or higher) of the SPA9000 Setup Wizard supports the SPA400 for the initial or an existing LVS
installation. Connect the SPA400 to the network using its Ethernet port before running the SPA9000
Setup Wizard. The latest version of the SPA9000 Setup Wizard can be downloaded from
