Setting up the D-Link VTA for Voip.ms

This page discusses the VoIP settings for the D-Link VTA VoIP adapter. For all the other settings, please consult the user manual available here. The guide applies to all the versions of the D-Link VTA (VTA-VR, VTA-CV, VTA-VD).
Please note that VoIP.ms accounts have one main SIP account and zero or more SIP sub-accounts. The D-Link VTA is only compatible with the main account.
If you're not sure what the SIP server and credentials are for your account, please see this page.
Connect all the cables: power cord, an Ethernet cable to your router and a phone into the green Phone 1 port. Wait about a minute for the router to power up, then check your router's DHCP table to find the IP address assigned to the ATA (see some samples for different router brands here). Put that IP address in a browser and login with username Admin and blank password.



Click Admin on the top menu, then VoIP on the left



The first tab, SIP is very unlikely to need any changes. Please click on Line 1



Enter the following settings:
- Line Enable: yes
- Caller ID Number: enter your 6 digit VoIP.ms account number
- Caller ID Name: enter your name here

*xx|*123|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx|911|0xx.T
- Voice Coding Profile (optional): the default value PCMU is for using the g711 codec. If your VoIP provider advises you to use the g729 codec, enter G729 in this field.
Click Apply to save the settings.

If you have issues dialing DTMF tones (such as dialing an extension after the call is connected, or using calling cards), go to the Common Coding option and try different values for Digit Relay Mode (between 1 and 4)
