- Sipura SPA-3000 The SPA-3000 features VoIP adapter functionality found in the SPA-3000 with the additional benefit of an integral connection for legacy telephone network “hop-on, hop-off” applications.
- I'm also running the new firmware on a 'curvy top' SPA-3000 with zero problems. I've had this SPA3000 running 24/7 since 2004 and the Hardware Version is even earlier - 2.0.1(700b) tsd.
Sipura Spa 3000 Firmware Downgrade
Sipura provide firmware updates for their SPA-3000 analogue VoIP adapter. They include a Windows program to upgrade the firmware, which is of no use to those of us who don't use Windows.
Fortunately, it's very easy to upgrade the firmware via tftp, http or https. All you need is access to a tftp, http or https server.
Sipura Spa 3000 Firmware Manual
Sipura SPA-3000 Note: The SPA-1000, SPA1001, SPA-2000, & SPA-3000 use the same firmware. Sorry - We don't have a picture of the SPA-2000. All of the above TA's (Telephone Adapters) for the SIP protocol work GREAT but unfortunately are.
To upgrade the firmware without using a Windows PC:
- Download the new firmware from Sipura's support page.
- Extract the firmware from the archive and copy it to your tftp or web server.
- Load this URL into a browser: where url is the url of the location of your new firmware file, e.g. http://kirriwa.net/john/doc/spa3000-03-01-10-GW-d.bin This is Sipura's firmware version 3.1.10d - feel free to use this URL to download the firmware.
- Wait until the status LED on the SPA-3000 stops flashing fast.
- Enjoy your new firmware :-)

Note: I've read reports that echo is worse with v3.x firmware than with v2.x. I didn't run v2.x for very long - I had problems with incoming caller ID with v2.0.13g, which were fixed in v3.1.10d, and I didn't try to solve my echo problems until after I upgraded, so I can't say whether v2.x was any better. I don't use the SPA-3000 any more; I first replaced it with an Open 812L, but now I have an IP04 runnning Asterisk.
