How to access routers admin menu?

[abrodski]

I've got a MP-202 VoIP router which was given by our ISP to make landline phone calls.
The problem is that there's no access to its Web configuration interface.ISP rep told me that if anything ,THEY will access it remotely themselves.My mail server stopped working...
I tried to access MP-202' web interface by typing http://mp202.home in the browser (According to the manual),but it didn't work.Also I tried to type an IP and that also didn't work.
Any ideas?
I forgot to mention that it was probably a special edition of MP-202 customly made by AudioCodes to avoid customer's tweaking of the device.It does NOT have a reset button.

You're pretty much screwed at this point. Since you've mentioned that the AudioCodes custom made the router to keep customers from tweaking the device, there's not much you can do. As for the mail server stopped working, that's probably a direct result of the ISP. Most have restrictions of what you can and cannot run on their connections. Maybe your ISP doesn't allow mail servers to be on your connection. I would check your ToS and your Terms and Conditions and any other legal document in regards to your service with the ISP.

Welcome to AnandTech Forums.

Get yourself a normal Wired Router and connect the VOIP to it.

They are probably pushing a configuration file written in xml to it in order to configure the device. They generally use TFTP for this not HTTP. A copy of the old config file would help a lot.
You can connect it to a pc and try to see if you can get some sort of prompt by using something like putty.

Set it for telnet and the correct ip for the router. If you get no prompts or anything, then leave the connection open and cycle the power on the router. If you get a prompt like PSP boot, then press enter and see what it says to get some idea of where to start looking online for config file info.

It is not going to be easy as you will have to write a config file that fits your current situation. Then push that using tftp to the router.

This is the same way cable modems are provisioned.

What you need to do is put THAT device BEHIND an existing router and hook it's WAN or internet port to a LAN port on your own router so that it's only used for VOIP calls. Get your own router and use that for your internet connection

You mean I should connect my regular D-Link router to ADSL modem and connect AudioCodes router to LAN port of regular D-Link router...and then connect AudioCodes's WAN port to LAN port of my own router?

Given every thing said until now.

I am afraid that what it means is that if the VOIP provider refuse, or can Not take into consideration your Networking needs, you need another VOIP service.

I have no obligation almost free 3 months trial service.I could switch VoIP provider for phone calls,but I'm almost certain that any provider would do the same

this idea (if I understood it right) didn't work...same story...I see the IP,I can ping it,but it doesn't bring me to logon screen...just get an error in a brower...couldn't find...

You apparently didn't understand anything I said. Put your own router's WAN port connected to the internet modem. Then connect your VOIP router's WAN port to your router's LAN port. After that, test your VOIP and make sure it works. Why would you need to access the VOIP router's login screen or menu, your only using it for the VOIP??

Internet modem > WAN port of your own Router > LAN 1 > VOIP Router's WAN port
LAN 2 - The rest of your PC's, etc
LAN 3 - The rest of your PC's, etc
LAN 4 - The rest of your PC's, etc

some new development...I found out that there's a reset button on VoIP modem,but I was told that admin password is in ROM and can't be cancelled by the reset.Also I found out that the VoIP router should be accessed at its local IP,BUT on 8080 port.
I was given user password,so I got it,but I only could see the list of current setting and that's it.
