I've had trouble with PLAR on ata's.. they work but when the call gets hung up it had a tendency to dial again long enough to ring once. Not sure if it has something to do with on-hook timer or what. We tinkered with the parameters available via the web interface on the ATA but couldnt get it working correctly. Ended up using a PLAR port on a VG248 instead, works fine. FXS ports on VG224 also work well, I have ring-downs off of them all over the place - FXS port in a router should be exactly the same if that's what you have available.<br>
<br>Might be worth trying if you have time to troubleshoot it.. we were kinda in crunch mode and only had time for some cursory troubleshooting before we resorted to putting in a VG. i'm not going to have time to revisit that particular phone until basketball season is over ><<br>
