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.

I just installed MJMD5 successfully on my t5720 with a 1GB Transcend DOM after installing .Net 2.0.
I had a minor issue after the initial install because I forgot to commit the change in EWF. So, for those with TCs, don't forget to commit after installing MJMD5. |

Darn, you beat me to it. Finally upgraded 5710 to 1G Flash. Had a bit of difficulty installing Stroths Version 1.2 image which included, java and .Net 2.0. Once I broke the code with that installed MJMD5 no problem. Went into PAP2T and updated the Proxy info and all was good.
Why a TC and ATA--I think it's got the most solid voice quality I've experienced "on" MagicJack.

|
|
after all messing with my pap2 configurations, i finally got a dial tone by changing Register Expire: 0
however, when i try to call a number for a test, i get a busy signal and when i try to call my mj from my cellphone, it goes automatically to my voicemail.
any thoughts on this one? |

Shey,
Set register expire to 1800. You may not get dial tone but that's symptomatic of problems elsewhere. Go back and review settings from the "...with pictures" from this forum. Also Pageman has a thread in this forum about settings for receiving incoming calls.
Guess what I'm suggesting is that you do some more review of all the info that's already here.

Here's my dial plan that was developed with the help of emberlant, one of the wizards of this forum. Change the red digits for your area code.
([1235-9]11!|411S0|<:1850>[2-9]xxxxxxS0|1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0| 1441!|1473!|1649!|1758!|1767!|1784!|1876!|1[26][68]4!|1[28]68!| 124[26]!|134[05]!|167[01]!|18[06]9!|01149xxxxxxxS0|)
This lets me do normal dialing as well as call our kids in Germany.
And, once again, if 1800 won't work, you have something else that needs fixing. I know its tedious but compare the "...with pictures" settings to yours. Since "all your messing with pap2 configuration" maybe you need to do a master reset. There aren't that many changes you have to make.

| 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. [*UPDATE 2009-07-06* Make sure the PC running MJMD5 has a static IP address so you don't have to change the ATA proxy every time your PC gets a new IP address.]
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!
7) Since I don't really need the tray icon for anything, I decided to run MJMD5 as a service. From this thread, I got the idea of how to run any program as a service:
http://www.magicjacksupport.com/magic-jack-as-a-service-a-better-way-t1364.html
You need instsrv.exe and srvany.exe from rktools as documented in the link above.
At this point, you need to stop the MJMD5 that is running in your tray. Double-click it to open up the interface, then hit the close box, and it should disappear from your tray.
8 ) If you have instsrv.exe and srvany.exe in C:\MJproxy, you would run these commands (from command prompt or put in a batch file) to create the service:
c:\MJproxy\instsrv.exe "MagicJack" "C:\MJproxy\srvany.exe"
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MagicJack\Parameters /v Application /d "\"C:\MJproxy\MJMD5.exe\" /f
You now have a service. To configure it, get into Services (most people it is Start Menu, Programs, Administrative Tools, Services). Scroll down to the "MagicJack" service, double-click it, and make sure "Startup Type" is set to "Automatic". Then click on the Start button to start the service. You are now set, the service will start automatically on a reboot. You don't need to touch the service again.
You will need your PC running whenever you want to use the MagicJack phone, but this is still much better than having that dongle with the horrible interface that annoyingly pops up every time the phone rings. Also, the quality of calls through the ATA is significantly better. |
One of the BEST posts in this thread...!!!
Well Done bro.
In case anyone finds a way to bypass this "keep the PC running" process, pls keep us updated.
EDIT:
I got it working too, exactly as explained above.
what I am a bit confused is, if the MJMD5.exe can talk to the MJ server, why can't someone (or at least the person who wrote this MJMD5.exe utility) figure out a way to do the same thing through our ATA device so that the ATA talks to the MJ server directly instead of talking to MJMD5.exe and then MJMD5.exe talks to the MJ server. |

If I'm not mistaken, the "fix" for ATA involves running a type of server as intermediary between ATA and MJ servers. I don't know of any ATA that are capable of running and internal server to perform the "magic". Therefore, need computer to host the server fix.
I'm sure if I've garbled up this explanation, someone will provide correction.

oldtimercurt,
i did tried the dial plan but it's still the same issue.
also i already compared from the pap2t picture my settings to the one you referring to.
it's weird that if i put 0 on the reigister expire, that's the only way i get dial tone.
thank you gain for responding so quickly....... |

ATA running great with WNR834B v2 with DDWRT. Thanks to everyone that made this possible. Possible its nice to see that there are some really smart people still at this forum. It is also sad to see that there are people here to derail others and have them waste their time.
Thanks,

What is your configuration? Are you trying to run with just the ATA or have you installed MJMDM5 on your computer and using that. ATA still won't run without a computer or some routers that have been doctored (as described in these forums).

"Router which are doctored"...???
you mean making something on the internet router or the ATA device? And if we do it will it eliminate the need for PC...???
Anyone who configures the ATA device and posts here, kindly mention explicitly if it is "ONLY ATA" or "MJMDM5+ATA"
thanks a ton in adv. |

As far as I know there are basically three MJ configurations that are in general use after the latest update.
1. Use MJ as intended, i.e., plugged into usb on computer. Dongle required.
1a. Use MJ on thin client with dongle.
1b. Run MJ as service on computer.
2. Use MJ creds on ATA with MJMDM5 running on computer. No dongle required.
3. Modify software of some routers with MJMDM5(?) and can then run without computer. I'm not real familiar with this option--only seen it discussed on several forums here.
My $.02

thanks OTC,
now only if someone can explain a bit more on how to modify the software on PAP2T or wireless router or some other device so that I need not keep the PC running that will be AMAZING...!!! |

Sachinagre you don't mod your PAP2T you mod your router to a modified firmware there are a few options OPEN WRT, DD WRT, Tomato and I think Sveasoft also works. There are a lot of posts that explain how to set routers up. Read through the forum, also not all routers work with the modded firmware. You have to go to their sites and see what equipment is supported. If you do this you will not have to have your pc on for your ata to work. |
