BL users skip this posting, for general info only.

The instructions provided at the far bottom for unlocking a Sunrocket 
Linksys ATA (SPA 2102) did NOT work, but a live CD unlocker (unlocker.iso, 
probably first edition, 97MB) based on SLAX (booted with isolinux, loaded 
sound, gpm, syslogd, pcmcia, ntfs support - could be used as a Windows 
virus remover) did if you added some instructions to what it came with.

Before you boot:

Plug in power and turn it on (switch in back, it lights up)
Plug in phone cable between phone and ATA.
Plug in crossover (or straight - it will accept either) ethernet cable 
between PC and INTERNET (WAN) port.

Boot and press any key to unlock.  Before you follow the instructions:

Start by doing a factory reset (unless yours is factory direct)
****  "configuration menu"
37378#, "enter 1 to confirm" 1 
Wait until you have two solid and one blinking light (1-2 minutes).
The blinking light is for the unused phone port, the unlit one for the 
used phone port, solid power and ethernet.

This I think sets the IVR (phone) password to a known one.

NOW follow instructions on the CD to transfer the cfg file 
(probably with APACHE - I don't think mini_httpd worked here maybe because 
of mime time not being settable.  You don't need to manually set IP 
numbers since the CD is running a DHCP server).

Press keys on the phone (it would help to have one without the numbers on 
the handset since they repeat everything back to you).
(" " is what you hear when you press keys.)

**** "configuration menu"
72364# "Enter password"
79309925#  (if it says 'invalid password, try again' do that)
"Enter value followed by the pound sign" 
1#
"Press 1 to save"
1

Press any key to continue.  Wait (while the .cfg file transfers to the 
device to change the browser password to a known  one).  No more than 2 
minutes, probably some lights blink then stop.
(This part did not work manually - always invalid password.)

You see a new set of instructions on the screen from the CD which causes 
the device to be unlocked.

**** "Configuration menu"
7932#  "Enter password"
79309925#, 1#, 1 (as before)

'Hang up, wait.'
After a while:
'Attempting to unlock device.  Provisioning disable.  Unlocked.'
(Maybe not exactly these words but similar).

This means it worked.  You then reboot to your own operating system, move 
the ethernet cable to the 'ETHERNET' (LAN) port and set your IP number to 
192.168.0.2 (or use dhcp) and access the ATA (SPA) with a javascript 
browser at http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/advanced to change settings. 
Until it is unlocked there is no admin link to access. The other links 
apparently worked for me without javascript but things did not stay set.

I posted this because NONE of the many sets of instructions I found on the 
web was complete.  This has been driving lots of people crazy and took me 
a week to figure out (and other people three weeks).

DHCP sets the proper IP numbers when you are plugged into the INTERNET 
port, and the CD comes with the cfg file and is set up to rename it before 
transfer, based on collecting your MAC number (I presume).
