I have just received one but can't get it to work and I am wondering if it's
the different phones I have tried to connect to the unit which are causing
the problem. Except for the obvious such as SIP server address, user ID,
password, did you have to change any other settings ? I am using
voipcheap.com so I would think the settings should be very similar to yours
?
