[Gloucs] Setting up SPA921 on keypad.

[Geoff Bagley]

Hi Keith.
My comments embedded below :

(Kieth) :I can only answer for the SPA941, but I suspect the answers 
will be the same.
(Geoff) : That is what I would guess.

(Keith):  No, a password does not have to be entered.

(Geoff) : I meant that I would wish any member of the family to use it 
without needing to enter a password.

I would only expect it for "admin" use.

(Geoff):    I had mine crash -  I guess it was still in the admin mode.
Now I can't get the router to "see" it.  I'll try a factory reset and 
start again from scratch.

Thanks Keith. 

Sorry about that double posting -  Some of my kind helpers belong to 
one,  and some to the other list.
I am not sure whether there are many who are on both.

I think that this (Gloucester) list has a majority of  VoIP  users.

I attended a very good lecture down there on  VoIP/Trixbax/Asterix etc.  
It whetted my apetite,  but didn't all sink in !

Happy Christmas.
