PAP2 firmware - should I update?

Hi all,

I have a PAP2 (an unlocked PAP2-NA) that reports it is running Firmware
Version: 2.0.12(LS).

I _believe_ that newer versions of the firmware support
day-light-saving. Is this reason enough to update? Or would I regret it
(i.e. if the newer firmware is more flakey).

I've downloaded 3.1.22 firmware from the Linksys.com website (MD5
below); is this the correct version? (I'm nervous I'm going to turn my
PAP2 into a door-stop!).

TIA,

Peter.

Is the 5.1.1 firmware for the PAP2 or PAP2T?
And if not, where did you download your firmware from?

The funny thing is, the UK part of the Linksys site has far fewer
downloads available for the PAP2 than the US one!

Anyway, I bit the bullet and did the upgrade and everything worked
perfectly and I'm now running 3.1.22(LS)! And none of my settings have
been lost either -- I had an idea I might need to re-enter everything!

Thank you! And thanks Bob also!! :)

Hope you turned provisioning off (Provision Enable = no) just in case it
has been locked to a provider.

Hi,

I have been using PAP2T-NA from a couple of months now. The version is 3.1.
22(LS), just tried to upgrade to 5.1.1 but it failed in the end saying that
the versions donot match. As far as I understand, 5.x is the naming scheme
used by Linksys and 3.x was the one used by Sipura? perhaps.

Did anyone see any marked improvement in anyway after moving to 5.x version.


Also, what does provisioning really do ..Does it lock to a specific service
provider. Mine was unlocked, but provisioning was set to yes, which I just
changed to no a while ago.

Cheers
Sam

My advice is if it aint broke etc. unless there is a particular feature
you would gain.
My PAP2 was locked to Vonage when I got it,
IIRC unlocking it required me to flash some specially
hacked firmware that allowed you to turn off provisioning
then I flashed it to 3.1.2(LS) which I have never changed since.
It sounds like yours was perhaps never locked to a provider
rather than being unlocked, never the less I wouldn't ever
re-enable provisioning and also I wouldn't ever issue the
RESET command via the IVR.
