ReadyNet AC1000MS

The ReadyNet AC1000MS and AC1300MS are dual-band wi-fi routers which include a built-in analogue telephone adapter. The AC1300MS provides one virtual line (1x FxS) while the AC1000MS provides two lines (2x FxS) plus a port to allow an external USB hard drive to be connected to build a file server.

The advantage of these units is that they combine a wi-fi router and an ATA in one box, much as the Cisco WRP400 and WRP500 did before their discontinuation in 2017.

Configuration

First, connect a PC to the router; this may be done using either a hard-wired Ethernet connection or by Wi-Fi. The default network names (SSID) and password for Wi-Fi are marked on a sticker on the underside of the router.

The configuration screen, by default, is at http://192.168.11.1 - the username is "user" and the password is marked on the sticker on the underside of the unit.

First, go to the "Administration" tab, section "Time/Date setting". Select your local time zone, click "sync with host", then click "save and apply".

Next, go to the "SIP" tab. Most of these settings may be left as-is, but "SIP T1" may need to be set to 1000ms to prevent outbound audio from breaking up on high-latency connections.

"NAT transversal" can usually be left as "Disabled", unless the ReadyNet box is behind another router. Optionally, you may also wish to set a dial plan; the syntax is fairly similar to the Cisco/Linksys ATA's, except that each rule is placed on a separate line instead of being separated by pipe (|) characters on a single line.

Click "save and apply".

Lastly, go to the "FXS1" or "FXS2" tab (there's one for each line on the AC1000MS, both look similar). FXS1 is shown in this example, although both lines may be configured separately for different subaccounts (the most common option) or indepedently for different users or even different providers.

There are multiple values to be set on this page:

• Line Enable: Enable
• Proxy Server and Outbound Server: Any of the VoIP.ms servers, for instance toronto.voip.ms. Be sure to point your DID to this same server.
• Proxy Port and Outbound Port: This can usually be left as 5060, although a few other options (such as 5080) are supported by the VoIP.ms servers.
• Display Name: Your name, as you intend it to appear on call display - preferably 15 characters or less.
• Account and Phone Number: Set both to your VoIP.ms account or subaccount number. For instance, user #123456 subaccount #1 would be written as 123456_1.
• Password: The password associated with your VoIP.ms subaccount (above).

and lastly, in the "advanced" section:

• Register Refresh Interval (sec): should be set to something low like 120 (two minutes) or 180 (three minutes) if you need to periodically re-register to keep the connection open on your network.

Once configuration is complete, the "PHONE 1" or "PHONE 2" LED should come on solid green on the router, the "Status" tab should indicate "Registered" and the VoIP.ms web interface should show the subaccount as having successfully registered.

Configuration of the second FXS line tab is the same or similar to the first.

Try a test call, such as 4443# to invoke the echo test. Try placing an ordinary call to or from the ReadyNet router. The system should be ready for use.
