There are 5 methods available to backup the SPA configuration:

Method 1 - Manually
To save your configuration, log into your SPA-3000 web interface as admin. Change the view to advanced. Select the File "" Save As option from your web brower and save the configuration page to your PC's hard drive. Thats it! The file you have saved can be used to restore your configuration later (if something goes wrong) or can be sent to another user to assist in trouble shooting.

Now to restore settings that you have previously saved, you need to edit the configuration page that you saved to your PC's hard drive. To do this, find the page on your hard drive, right click on it and Open With "" Notepad. Now, do a search for the following line of code.
<FORM action="sipua.spa" ...........................
You need to change this line to read:
<FORM action="http://IP Address of Sipura/admin/asipura.spa" ........
Where IP Address of Sipura is the IP address of your Sipura SPA-3000.
Now save the page, then load it up in your web browser, when you hit Submit Changes, your saved configuration will be loaded back into your SPA-3000.

Method 2 - Backup Utility
This little utility is very handy for when you start playing around with the settings on you SPA-3000 (or SPA-2000). At first it is not all that intuitive so read the help file. Once you have it worked out, it is very easy to use and actually more intuitive that you first think. Here's what to do:
1. Download the program from http://www.dualarrow.com/. The author adds the newest version at the bottom of the list, so take the last version available. If the dualarrow site is not live, download newsipurautilv2 (01-2007) from this site.

2. Put the exe file in a clean folder. It is a stand alone executable file that doesn't need to be installed. When it runs, it creates its own ini files etc, so you will want it in a folder of its own. 3. Double click to run the program. You will see the following screen

4. In the top left corner, there is an orange button that toggles between *Dragging* and *Moving* each time you click it. Click this button so it says *Moving*
5. Click on the SPA-3000 image in the bottom left corner, and drag it to the blue devices section, then release. You will be prompted to enter a name for the device. Do this once for each SPA device you have.

6. Then right click on the device image in the blue section and click Edit Details. You need to enter the IP address of the device.

7. Click on your SPA-3000 image in the bottom left corner again, and drop it in the Config area. When prompted, give it a name. You can create as many config files as you like. You should end up with something like this:

8. Click on the orange button in the left hand corner, and change it to read *Dragging*. Drag your device from the blue section and drop it on to one of your configuration files. This will copy the config from your SPA to the config backup.

That's it, it is backed up. Now you can drag the configuration file back onto your device whenever you want to reset the device configuration.

Be aware that the passwords are not saved to your config files, so you have to reset the passwords each time you update the config.

Method 3 

System Tray Utility

1. It sits in the system tray and gives a visual indication of the registration state of Line 1 and the PSTN. If these are not registered then you can not reliably make and receive VoIP Calls.
2. If Line 1 or PSTN are off hook then it indicates that visually.
3. It monitors the inbound and outbound calls and captures and records the last status information including jitter, packet loss and error data.
4. It can be used to save multiple back ups of your SPA configuration settings, and then later restore from any one.
5. It can compare 2 different configuration setting files and advise you of what is different.

Its free for non commercial use.

This image shows the main screen providing you information about the state of the SPA-3000, the last calls made etc.

This image shows how the configuration settings can be saved and reviewed. The section at the bottom of the screen allows you to easily cut and paste your configuration settings so you can email them to others when in need of help.

Method 4

Rconfig from Racktel is working OK with the SPA 3000, but not with the SPA 3102.

Method 5

A forumposter (forgot his name) on Voxilla.org has made a backup utility (SPA_3102_Config_Utility) for the SPA 3102 as well. Unfortunatly you can not reload a saved configuration. But a simple copy and paste will do.
