Nice to meet you Matt. I work in the Boro part-time but I am a Mackem by birth and persuasion.

Does anyone know if the Voyager 10v is a new bit of kit as there doesn't seem to be a lot about on it.

As I mentioned previously the Voyager update area at BT doesn't have it listed anywhere I could see.

There is also no mention of the their offerings for the full BT Broadband/Talk. That is the Voyager 220V and 2500V (wireless). It is the "Talk" which is new and all the hardware to go with it must be too. I can find no reference to a 10V earlier than March on any forum or site. It looks like we few early birds are doing a bit of trail blazing for BT.

Never mind. It wouldn't be fun if they made it easy.

I have to say the Voyager 10v is a new piece of kit for me... never heard of it before threads here. I think you may be right re being test subjects. BT are only dipping their toe in the VoIP water at the moment if you ask me.

Now, I mentioned in an earlier thread that I was an avid reader of manuals, I like to get the maximum out of the products I use and push them a bit.

So I will post any interesting bits that i find on my trawl through the manual.

The Voyager 10v is described in the CD manual as an

"adjunct device that is suitable to be connected to your network via an Ethernet cable and will allow you to connect:

To an ADSL modem Router (such as the Voyager 240) or cable modem.
Your computer to it via Ethernet (into the yellow Ethernet port - cable supplied).
One standard telephones to the Broadband Voice port.
Your fixed telephone line for either back up in the event of DSL or Broadband Voice service going down or a power cut or where you want to dial."

I also found that you can configure it ,the through its web interface, to automatically dial certain numbers via the land line using a "dial plan" in " Advanced | Configuration | Voice | PSTN Backup " they suggest things like 999 or other emergency numbers.

At the moment though my 10v is in bridging mode so that I can access my network through the Win98SE PC connected "behind it" and at the moment it is ignoring my address requests on 192.168.192.1. and won't respond. Despite this it still appears to be working OK though the CLI does not work, another area I need to pursue.

I will try and reset the Belkin router and 10v to see if I can get access to it later.

After a very long conversation with a "techie" at BT I was offered the port numbers to open. They work well (UDP) but the first port range quoted by BT, 32000 - 36000, is 4000 ports. My modem/router's (SAMR4114) virtual server will not handle more then 1000 ports and I had to reduce this entry to 32000 - 32600. Does anyone know what effect if any this will have? I did find that ports 2467, 2727, and 5060 got the line working on their own. Unless I'm missing something?

Well, if you go to their website http://www.btbroadbandvoice.com/bbv/...and_voice.html it says you open a different set of ports. It's still more than 1000 but less than the number the techies say you need to open.

If you set it up in bridging mode then the IP address is assigned by your router and not the 10V so the 192.168.192.1 will not respond. Check your router to see what IP address it has given it (assuming you didn't manually reserve one) and access it that way.

Thanks, I had just looked in the Belkin router DHCP list and there was an unamed entry 192.168.2.2 whic turned out to be the 10V. It would be a help if there was some way of naming it in the 10v configuration manager.
