Thanks for your detailed post. I was able to get my ATA running again with the info you provided.
Now if we can only find a way to do it without the PC running. For now however, it's better than the dongle. |

you need to make sure the ip address on each computer are correct this is the problem i had but right now i have 2 desktops running the mjmd5 and 2 laptops so i have 4 mj's running on 2 pap2's i had to run strohs a couple times for pw havent tried running it on my router but label all your computer equipment i actually typed out labels for the ip and the phone numbers for the pap2 and put them on the pap2 and each computer to avoid confusing but it took awhile to mess with. The one pap2 kept overheating with 1 line before I added 2 lines to it and I had to go and buy a laptop cooler that both now sit on just keep messing with it eventually it will come. sound quailty is soo much better then with the dumb dongles, hope this works for awhile!!

Thanks, |
Unfortunately, my phone quit ringing again! Anyone know what to do to get the phone to ring using this method and a rtp300? |

| MJuser403 wrote: | This works!! Here is what I did to get it to work, and also run it as a service (Windows XP SP3). Prerequisite: you had a working ATA prior to the June 9th upgrade...as I'm assuming you had your ATA properly configured and you know how to perform the steps below:
1) I downloaded the MJMD5.zip file from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?mmmt4wcnqyb
2) I unzipped it to a directory on my PC (I used C:\MJproxy)
3) I'm assuming most here know how to get their SIP credentials using Stroth's utility:
http://www.magicjacksupport.com/stroths-mj-utilities-suite-1-6-sip-grabber-upgrader-more-t4230.html
4) Using the info retrieved from Stroth's utility, I ran C:\MJproxy\MJMD5.exe, and I filled in the proxy (mine is proxy01.philadelphia.talk4free.com), forward port and listen port are both 5070, and gave it my password retrieved from Stroth's utility. I made sure Save Settings is checked. This created a MJMD5.ini file in the C:\MJproxy directory, and a tray icon showing that MJMD5 is running.
5) In my Linksys PAP2 ATA, in Line 2 (that is my MagicJack line), all I had to do is make sure my password is current, and the proxy points to my internal IP address of my PC running MJMD5 (mine happens to be 192.168.15.2). So the proxy in the ATA is 192.168.15.2:5070. I also filled in Outbound proxy with the same thing, but I don't think that is necessary.
6) After I saved, I saw the beautiful blue light appear on my ATA for line 2, meaning it has a valid connection. The "Info" page for Line 2 REGISTRATION STATE now shows "Online". I have a dial tone, I can make and receive calls, and my phone I attached to the ATA rings when receiving a call. All is good!

Initially, I didn't catch your line about having a working ATA prior to the upgrade (I didn't). But, I now have things working on my wife's PC.
Since I didn't have a working ATA, I kind of winged it and did have to put my user ID in the ATA field, because it kept on saying "offline", but once I did that, it registered fine!
Now, hopefully someone will figure out a way to run this on the thin client.
I didn't run mine as a service, I just put the program in the startup group (for now).
Thanks again for posting the steps to run the ATA!!! _________________ -Curt

I haven't done it yet because I haven't upgraded my Flash on my TC5710 yet.
In old posts from Thin Client forum Stroths has a discussion about upgrading the Thin Clients. He has a modified flash image for larger flash that includes .NET 2.0 which is required to use MJMD5.
I'm going to go ahead and order the Transcend flash upgrade but I too am wondering if anyone has successfully implemented the MJMD5 on a Thin Client.

Yea, I didn't want to get into the different settings when setting up an ATA from scratch. I wanted to just detail what is different between when it used to work without MJMD5 and now when it needs it.
From scratch, there is all the NAT settings and STUN settings that vary due to your individual circumstances.
One other important point I didn't mention in my original post: I have MJMD5.exe running on my local PC, which is set with a static IP address (192.168.15.2...the router itself is 192.168.15.1). If the computer that is running MJMD5 happens to have DHCP ("obtain IP address automatically"), then the IP address can potentially change, and that will be a problem because the proxy setting in the ATA will be wrong. I just updated my original post with this info.
Regardless, I'm glad I was able to help, and congrats on winging it successfully!  |

I get DHCP from my provider, but I get static from my Dlink router, so I should be in good shape, but that is an important point for sure.
Do you happen to know if it is wise to plug in the magicJack dongle once in awhile or does that make any difference? _________________ -Curt

If you can't get a dial tone or something else is wrong with magicJack, then the most likely cause is that your password changed (or heaven forbid, another MJ software update). You will need to plug in the dongle, let it update itself, and then use Stroth utility to obtain your new credentials (e.g. the password).
Other than that, I don't think you need to bother plugging in the dongle. |

Thanks for the details. You helped me get my SPA 2102 running again.
I think you were running the MJMD5 as a service? Do we still need to have the dongle plugged in or run the MJ softphone dongle-less. Or can we just run the computer with MJMD5 and not have to also run the MJ softphone? _________________ - B3
