Hello
FXO SIP gateways can be ordered through the Net (eBay, etc.) but since they are meant to be connected to the POTS, they have to be localized for use in such and such country.
Does someone know this can be done in software, ie. I can just upload a new firmware to match the country where I need to use this gateway, or does it also require some hardware changes?
Has anybody ordered one from eBay, and used it successfully outside the US?
I believe the Sipuras (now from Linksys) work worldwide.
Thanks for the tip.
Has someone successfully ordered the 3102 in the US and used it in Europe?
Vincent,
You might check with these folks

Great, thank you.
I'm not convinced that there are that many differences in line characteristics that would make a universal solution non-functional or cause voice quality problems.
The other side of this, of course, is certification for each country, which is purely a legal matter, and can be very expensive and time-consuming to get.
If you are a corporate buyer or reseller, you better make sure you are doing all the proper paperwork. If you are an individual, I wouldn't worry about it.
From what I read, there is enough difference that they do need to be customized by country: impedence, call progress not being correctly handled, caller ID not be picked up, etc. As a matter of fact, analog modems had to be a bit reworked to work perfectly in different countries.
That's why I'm wary of buying a gateway that I'm not positive is available for different countries in Europe.
Any users from Europe in this newsgroup? :-)

Yep.
All regionalization is done by accessing the device's admin pages via a browser (Linksys/Sipura).
Have a look at
Also, lots of discussion in the voxilla forum
Cool. I was wondering if it was just software, or they also had to be reworked at the hardware level. Thanks!
