Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Overview

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard for real-time calls and conferencing over Internet Protocol (IP). SIP is an ASCII-based, application-layer control protocol (defined in RFC3261) that can be used to establish, maintain, and terminate multimedia sessions or calls between two or more endpoints.

Like other Voice over IP (VoIP) protocols, SIP is designed to address the functions of signaling and session management within a packet telephony network. Signaling allows call information to be carried across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an end-to-end call.

Note SIP for the Cisco ATA is compliant with RFC2543.

This section contains the following topics:

• SIP Capabilities, page 1-3

• Components of SIP, page 1-3

OL-3410-01

Chapter 1 Cisco Analog Telephone Adaptor Overview

SIP Capabilities

SIP provides the following capabilities:

• Determines the availability of the target endpoint. If a call cannot be completed because the target

endpoint is unavailable, SIP determines whether the called party is already on the phone or did not answer in the allotted number of rings. SIP then returns a message indicating why the target endpoint was unavailable.

• Determines the location of the target endpoint. SIP supports address resolution, name mapping, and

call redirection.

• Determines the media capabilities of the target endpoint. Using the Session Description Protocol

(SDP), SIP determines the lowest level of common services between endpoints. Conferences are established using only the media capabilities that are supported by all endpoints.

• Establishes a session between the originating and target endpoint. If the call can be completed, SIP

establishes a session between the endpoints. SIP also supports mid-call changes, such as adding another endpoint to the conference or changing the media characteristic or codec.

• Handles the transfer and termination of calls. SIP supports the transfer of calls from one endpoint

to another. During a call transfer, SIP establishes a session between the transferee and a new endpoint (specified by the transferring party) and terminates the session between the transferee and the transferring party. At the end of a call, SIP terminates the sessions between all parties. Conferences can consist of two or more users and can be established using multicast or multiple unicast sessions.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Overview

Components of SIP

SIP is a peer-to-peer protocol. The peers in a session are called User Agents (UAs). A user agent can function in one of the following roles:

• User agent client (UAC)—A client application that initiates the SIP request.

• User agent server (UAS)—A server application that contacts the user when a SIP request is received

and returns a response on behalf of the user.

Typically, a SIP endpoint is capable of functioning as both a UAC and a UAS, but functions only as one or the other per transaction. Whether the endpoint functions as a UAC or a UAS depends on the UA that initiated the request.

From an architectural standpoint, the physical components of a SIP network can also be grouped into two categories—Clients and servers. Figure 1-4 illustrates the architecture of a SIP network.

Note SIP servers can interact with other application services, such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

(LDAP) servers, a database application, or an extensible markup language (XML) application. These application services provide back-end services such as directory, authentication, and billable services.

SIP clients include:

• Gateways—Provide call control. Gateways provide many services, the most common being a

translation function between SIP conferencing endpoints and other terminal types. This function includes translation between transmission formats and between communications procedures. In addition, the gateway also translates between audio and video codecs and performs call setup and clearing on both the LAN side and the switched-circuit network side.

• Telephones—Can act as either a UAS or UAC. The Cisco ATA can initiate SIP requests and respond

to requests.

SIP servers include:

• Proxy server—The proxy server is an intermediate device that receives SIP requests from a client

and then forwards the requests on the client’s behalf. Proxy servers receive SIP messages and forward them to the next SIP server in the network. Proxy servers can provide functions such as authentication, authorization, network access control, routing, reliable request retransmission, and security.

1-4

• Redirect server—Receives SIP requests, strips out the address in the request, checks its address

tables for any other addresses that may be mapped to the address in the request, and then returns the results of the address mapping to the client. Redirect servers provide the client with information about the next hop or hops that a message should take, then the client contacts the next hop server or UAS directly.

• Registrar server—Processes requests from UACs for registration of their current location. Registrar

servers are often co-located with a redirect or proxy server.

• Fax mode—The Cisco ATA is configured as a G.711-only device.

How you set Cisco ATA fax parameters depends on what network gateways are being used. You may need to modify the default fax parameter values (see Chapter 7, “Configuring and Debugging Fax

Services”).

Note Success of fax transmission depends on network conditions and fax modem response to these conditions.

The network must have reasonably low network jitter, network delay, and packet loss rate.

CHAPTER

Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

This section describes how to configure the Cisco ATA to operate with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling image and how the Cisco ATA obtains the latest signaling image.

You can configure the Cisco ATA for use with SIP with any of the following methods:

• By using a TFTP server—This is the Cisco-recommended method for deploying a large number of

Cisco ATAs. This method allows you to set up a unique Cisco ATA configuration file or a configuration file that is common to all Cisco ATAs. The Cisco ATA can automatically download its latest configuration file from the TFTP server when the Cisco ATA powers up, is refreshed or reset, or when the specified TFTP query interval expires.

• By using manual configuration:

–

Voice configuration menu—This is the method you must use if the process of establishing IP connectivity for the Cisco ATA requires changing the default network configuration settings. These settings are CDP, VLAN, and DHCP. You also can use the voice configuration menu to review all IP connectivity settings. The voice configuration menu can also be used when Web access is not available.

–

Web-based configuration—This method is convenient if you plan to deploy a small number of Cisco ATAs in your network. To use this method, the Cisco ATA must first obtain IP connectivity, either through the use of a DHCP server or by using the voice configuration menu to statically configure IP addresses.

OL-3410-01

This section contains the following topics:

• Default Boot Load Behavior, page 3-2—This section describes the process that the Cisco ATA

follows by default when it boots up. It is very important to understand this process because, if your network environment is not set up to follow this default behavior, you need to make the applicable configuration changes. For example, by default, the Cisco ATA attempts to contact a DHCP server for the necessary IP addresses to achieve network connectivity. However, if your network does not use a DHCP server, you must manually configure various IP settings as described in this section.

• Specifying a Preconfigured VLAN ID or Disabling VLAN IP Encapsulation, page 3-3—This

section includes a table of the parameters you can configure for VLAN and CDP settings.

• Steps Needed to Configure the Cisco ATA, page 3-5—This section provides tables that summarize

the general configuration steps you must follow to configure the Cisco ATA.

• Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server, page 3-7—This section describes procedures for

configuring the Cisco ATA by using a TFTP server, which is the recommended configuration method for the deployment of a large number of Cisco ATAs.

• Voice Configuration Menu, page 3-15—This section includes information on how to obtain basic

network connectivity for the Cisco ATA and how to perform a factory reset if necessary.

Default Boot Load Behavior

• Cisco ATA Web Configuration Page, page 3-18—This section shows the Cisco ATA Web

configuration page and contains a procedure for how to configure Cisco ATA parameters using this interface.

• Refreshing or Resetting the Cisco ATA, page 3-21—This section gives the procedure (via the Web

configuration page) for refreshing or resetting the Cisco ATA so that your most recent configuration changes take effect immediately.

• Upgrading the SIP Signaling Image, page 3-22—This section provides references to the various

means of upgrading your Cisco ATA signaling image.

Note The term Cisco ATA is used throughout this manual to refer to both the Cisco ATA 186 and the

Cisco ATA 188, unless differences between the Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 are explicitly stated.

Default Boot Load Behavior

Before configuring the Cisco ATA, you need to know how the default Cisco ATA boot load process works. Once you understand this process, you will be able to configure the Cisco ATA by following the instructions provided in this section and in the sections that follow.

All Cisco ATAs are shipped with a bootload signaling-protocol image. However, because this image is not a fully functional signaling image, the image must be upgraded. The image is designed to be automatically upgraded by a properly configured TFTP server. To configure the Cisco ATA to automatically upgrade to the latest signaling image, see the “Upgrading the Signaling Image from a

TFTP Server” section on page 8-1.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

In addition, the Cisco ATA obtains its configuration file during the bootload process.

The following list summarizes the default Cisco ATA behavior during its boot-up process:

1. The Cisco ATA uses the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to discover which VLAN to enter. If the

Cisco ATA receives a VLAN ID response from the network switch, the Cisco ATA enters that VLAN and adds 802.1Q VLAN tags to its IP packets. If the Cisco ATA does not receive a response with a VLAN ID from the network switch, then the Cisco ATA assumes it is not operating in a VLAN environment and does not perform VLAN tagging on its packets.

Note If your network environment is not set up to handle this default behavior, make the necessary

configuration changes by referring to the “Specifying a Preconfigured VLAN ID or Disabling

VLAN IP Encapsulation” section on page 3-3.

2. The Cisco ATA contacts the DHCP server to request its own IP address.

Note If your network environment does not contain a DHCP server, you need to statically configure

various IP addresses so that the Cisco ATA can obtain network connectivity. For a list of parameters that you must configure to obtain network connectivity, see Table 3-5 on page 3-16. For instructions on how to use the voice configuration menu, which you must use to perform this configuration, see the “Voice Configuration Menu” section on page 3-15.

3. Also from the DHCP server, the Cisco ATA requests the IP address of the TFTP server.

3-2

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

OL-3410-01

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

4. The Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server and downloads the Cisco ATA release software that

contains the correct signaling image for the Cisco ATA to function properly.

Note If you are not using a TFTP server, you need to manually upgrade the Cisco ATA to the correct

signaling image. For information on this procedure, see the “Upgrading the Signaling Image

Manually” section on page 8-2.

5. The Cisco ATA looks for a Cisco ATA-specific configuration file (designated by the MAC address

of the Cisco ATA and named ata<macaddress>) on the TFTP server and downloads this file if it exists.

6. If the Cisco ATA does not find the ata<macaddress> configuration file, it looks for the

atadefault.cfg configuration file and downloads this file if it exists. This file can contain default values for the Cisco ATA to use.

Note When the Cisco ATA is downloading its DHCP configuration, the function button on the top panel

blinks.

Specifying a Preconfigured VLAN ID or Disabling VLAN IP Encapsulation

If you want the Cisco ATA to use a preconfigured VLAN ID instead of using the Cisco Discovery Protocol to locate a VLAN, or if you want to disable VLAN IP encapsulation, refer to Tabl e 3 - 1 for a reference to the parameters and bits you may need to configure. Use the voice configuration menu to configure these parameters. (See the “Voice Configuration Menu” section on page 3-15 for instructions on using this menu.) Also, refer to Tab l e 3-2 for a matrix that indicates which VLAN-related parameters and bits to configure depending on your network environment.

Table 3-1 Parameters and Bits for Preconfiguring a VLAN ID

Parameter and Bits Reference

OpFlags:

• Bit 4—Enable the use of user-specified voice VLAN ID.

VLANSetting Bits 18-29

Example

The following procedure shows you how to configure the OpFlags and VLANSetting parameters to allow the Cisco ATA to use a user-specified VLAN ID. In this example, the voice VLAN ID is 115 (in decimal format).

Step 1 Set bits 4-6 of the OpFlags parameter to 1, 0, and 1, respectively. This setting translates to the following

bitmap:

xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx x101 xxxx

The remaining bits of the OpFlags parameter, using all default values, make up the following bitmap representation:

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0xxx 0010

Therefore, the resulting value of the OpFlags parameter becomes the following bitmap representation:

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 0010

In hexadecimal format, this value is 0x00000052.

Step 2 Set bits 18-29 of the VLANSetting parameter to to voice VLAN ID 115. This setting translates to the

following bitmap

xx00 0001 1100 11xx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

where 000001110011 is the binary representation of the demical value 115.

The remaining bits of the VLANSetting parameter, using all default values, make up the following representation:

00xx xxxx xxxx xx00 0000 0000 0010 1011

Therefore, the resulting value of the VLANSetting parameter becomes the following bitmap representation:

0000 0001 1100 1100 0000 0000 0010 1011

In hexadecimal format, this value is 0x01cc002b.

OL-3410-01

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Note If you are using the voice configuration menu to set the parameters, you must convert hexadecimal

values to decimal values. For example, the OpFlags setting of 0x00000052 is equivalent to 82 in decimal format, and the VLANSetting of 0x01cc002b is equivalent to 30146603 in decimal format.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

The TFTP method of configuration is useful when you have many Cisco ATA because you can use a TFTP server for remote, batch configuration of Cisco ATAs. A TFTP server can host one unique configuration file for each Cisco ATA.

This section contains the following topics:

• Setting Up the TFTP Server with Cisco ATA Software, page 3-7

• Configurable Features and Related Parameters, page 3-7

• Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files, page 3-8

• atadefault.cfg Configuration File, page 3-12

• Configuring the Cisco ATA to Obtain its Configuration File from the TFTP Server, page 3-13

Setting Up the TFTP Server with Cisco ATA Software

This section provides the procedure for the Cisco ATA administrator to obtain the correct Cisco ATA software and set up the TFTP server with this software.

Procedure

Step 1 If you are a registered CCO user. go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ata186

Step 2 Download the zip file that contains the software for the applicable release and signaling image you are

using. The contents of each file are described next to the file name. Save the zip file onto a floppy disc.

Note The file that contains the protocol signaling image has an extension of .zup.

Step 3 Extract the signaling files onto the TFTP server. This should be the same TFTP server that will contain

the binary Cisco ATA configuration file that you create (either ata<macaddress> or atadefault.cfg).

Configurable Features and Related Parameters

Table 4-1 on page 4-2 contains a list of all required SIP parameters. These parameters must be properly

configured for the Cisco ATA to work.

For descriptions of important Cisco ATA SIP services that you can configure, and references to their configuration parameters, see the “Important Basic SIP Services” section on page 4-1 and the

“Additional SIP Services” section on page 4-3.

OL-3410-01

Table 4-3 on page 4-12 lists, in alphabetical order, various features that you can configure for the

Cisco ATA. Table 4-3 on page 4-12 also includes links to the related parameter that allows you to configure each of these features. Each link takes you to a detailed description of the parameter that includes its default values.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

For an example of how to configure parameters for the TFTP Server configuration method, see the

“Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files” section on page 3-8.

Note Be sure to configure the UseSIP parameter to the value of 1 to enable the SIP protocol. This parameter

is 0 (for H.323) by default.

Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files

If you have many Cisco ATAs to configure, a good approach is to create two configuration files:

• One file that will contain only parameter values unique to a specific Cisco ATA.

• One file for parameters that will be configured with values common to a group of Cisco ATAs. If

this file is updated, all Cisco ATA devices in this common group can obtain the new configuration data in a batch-mode environment.

The following procedure demonstrates the steps needed to create these configuration files.

Note The parameters used in this section help illustrate the process of creating a unique Cisco ATA

configuration file, and do not include all required SIP parameters in the examples. See Chapter 4, “Basic

and Additional SIP Services,” for complete listings and descriptions of required parameters and

additional configurable features. Also, refer back to Table 3-3 on page 3-5 for all main configuration steps.

Procedure

Step 1 Use the example_uprofile.txt file as a template for creating a text file of values that are common to one

group of Cisco ATAs. The example_uprofile.txt file is included in the software-release zip file and contains all default values. This file is shown without its annotations in the “Configuration Text File

Template” section on page 5-2.

Copy the example_uprofile.txt file and save it with a meaningful name, such as common.txt.

Step 2 Configure all common parameters by editing the text file as desired. For example, you might configure

some parameters as follows:

ToConfig:0 UseTftp:1 DHCP:1 TFtpURL:10.10.10.1 UseSIP:1

Tip It is helpful to always include the parameter/value of ToConfig:0 in the Cisco ATA

configuration file so that every time this file is downloaded to the Cisco ATA, it will set ToConfig to 0, which the appropriate value for this parameter once the Cisco ATA has been configured. If ToConfig is 1, the Cisco ATA will continue to unnecessarily contact the TFTP server.

3-8

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

OL-3410-01

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

The settings in this example indicate that a group of Cisco ATAs is using the TFTP server with an IP address of 10.10.10.1 to obtain their configuration files. These Cisco ATAs will use a DHCP server to obtain their own IP addresses but not to obtain the TFTP server IP address (because the TftpURL parameter has a configured value).

Step 3 Save your changes.

Step 4 Use the example_uprofile.txt file again, this time as a template for creating a text file of values that are

specific to one Cisco ATA. For example, you might configure the following parameters:

UserID:8530709 GkorProxy:192.168.1.1

Save this file of Cisco ATA-specific parameters as:

ata<macaddress>.txt

where macaddress is the non-dotted hexadecimal version of the MAC address of the Cisco ATA you are configuring. This non-dotted hexadecimal MAC address is labeled on the bottom of most Cisco ATAs next to the word “MAC.” The file name must be exactly 15 characters long. (However, if this filename is supplied by the DHCP server, the name can be as long as 31 characters and can be any name with printable ASCII characters.)

If necessary, you can obtain the non-dotted hexadecimal MAC address by using the atapname.exe command. For information on using the atapname.exe command, see the “Using atapname.exe Tool to

Obtain MAC Address” section on page 3-10. That section includes an example of a dotted decimal MAC

address and its corresponding non-dotted hexadecimal address.

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

Note The ata<macaddress>.txt file should contain only those parameters whose values are different

from the file of common parameters. Parameter values in the ata<macaddress> configuration file will overwrite any manually configured values (values configured through the web or voice configuration menu) when the Cisco ATA powers up or refreshes.

Step 5 On the top line of the ata<macaddress>.txt file, add an include command to include the name of the

common-parameters file, and save the file.

include:common.txt UserID:8530709 GkorProxy:192.168.1.1

Step 6 Run the cfgfmt.exe tool, which is bundled with the Cisco ATA software, on the ata<macaddress>.txt

text file to generate the binary configuration file. If you wish to encrypt the binary file for security reasons, see the “Using the EncryptKey Parameter and cfgfmt Tool” section on page 3-11.

The syntax of the cfgfmt program follows:

Syntax

cfgfmt [-eRC4Password] -tpTagFile input-text-file output-binary-file

–

-eRC4Password is the optional RC 4key to encrypt the binary TFTP file provided by the cfgfmt program (up to eight alphanumeric characters).

–

pTagFile is the command used to specify the ptag.dat file that is provided with the Cisco ATA software version you are running. Search on the keyword ptag to find the complete name of the ptag file that is included with the Cisco ATA software for the signaling protocol you are using. Be sure this file resides in the same directory from which you are running the cfgfmt program. The ptag.dat file is used by cfgfmt.exe to format a text input representation of the parameter/value pairs to its output binary representation.

OL-3410-01

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

3-9

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

–

input-text-file is the input text file representation of the Cisco ATA configuration file.

–

output-binary-file is the final output binary file that Cisco ATA uses as the TFTP configuration file.

Example

cfgfmt -tptag.dat ata0a141e28323c.txt ata0a141e28323c

This example is based on a Cisco ATA MAC address of 10.20.30.40.50.60, which converts to the two-digit, lower-case hexadecimal representation of each integer as 0a141e28323c. This example also uses a ptag file name of ptag.dat.

When you convert the ata<macaddress>.txt file to a binary file, the binary file will merge the two text files to form one Cisco ATA-specific binary configuration file for your Cisco ATA.

If the same parameter is configured with different values in these two files, the value in the ata<macaddress>.txt file takes precedence over the value in the common.txt file.

Step 7 Store the binary configuration file in the TFTP server root directory.

When the Cisco ATA powers up, it will retrieve its unique configuration file from the TFTP server.

Step 8 If you want to make configuration changes after boot up, repeat the process of creating or editing the

text files containing the desired parameters, then converting the ata<macaddress>.txt text file to the binary file and storing the binary file on the TFTP server. For the configuration changes to take effect immediately, refresh the Cisco ATA. (See the “Refreshing or Resetting the Cisco ATA” section on

page 3-21.)

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

After being refreshed, the Cisco ATA will download the updated ata<macaddress> configuration file.

Note If you do not perform a refresh procedure, the Cisco ATA will update its configuration the next

time it contacts the TFTP server, which is based on the configured value of the CfgInterval parameter.

Using atapname.exe Tool to Obtain MAC Address

This bundled tool is useful for converting the dotted decimal version of the Cisco ATA MAC address (available on the Cisco ATA Web configuration page or from the voice configuration menu code 24#) to its default Cisco ATA profile name. This name has the following format:

ataxxxxxxxxxxxx

where each xx is the two-digit, lower-case hexadecimal representation of each integer in the dotted, decimal version of the Cisco ATA MAC address. This is the name you use for the unique Cisco ATA binary configuration file.

The following command and output show an example of this command.

Command Example

atapname.exe 10.20.30.40.50.60

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

OL-3410-01

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Command Output

ata0a141e28323c

Note The same functionality is available from the voice configuration menu (voice menu code 84#), which

will announce the Cisco ATA profile name.

Using the EncryptKey Parameter and cfgfmt Tool

The EncryptKey parameter encrypts binary files being transferred over TFTP. You can change this key for each Cisco ATA, so that only one specific Cisco ATA can decode the information.

By default, the Cisco ATA-specific ata<macaddress> configuration file is not encrypted. If encryption is required, however, you must manually configure the EncryptKey parameter before you boot up the Cisco ATA so that the TFTP method is secure. Use either the voice configuration menu (see the “Voice

Configuration Menu” section on page 3-15) or the Cisco ATA web configuration page (see the “Cisco ATA Web Configuration Page” section on page 3-18) to configure the EncryptKey parameter.

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

Note Because the factory-fresh ATA cannot accept encrypted configuration files, the first unencrypted file, if

intercepted, can easily be read. (You would still have to know the data structure format in order to decode the binary information from the unencrypted file.) Therefore, the new encryption key in the unencrypted file can be compromised.

Set the EncryptKey parameter to a nonzero value. When this value is nonzero, the Cisco ATA assumes that the binary configuration file on the TFTP server is to be encrypted with this key by means of the RC4 cipher algorithm. The Cisco ATA will use this key to decrypt the configuration file.

The Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter and the encryption key used in the cfgfmt tool command syntax must match.

Note For security reasons, Cisco recommends that you set the UIPassword parameter (if desired) in the

configuration file and not by using one of the manual configuration methods.

The cfgfmt.exe syntax affects how the EncryptKey parameter is used, as shown in the following examples. In these examples, input_text is the ata<macaddress>.txt file that you will convert to binary to create the ata<macaddress> configuration file for the Cisco ATA; output_binary is that binary ata<macaddress> file, and Secret is the encryption key.

Syntax examples

• cfgfmt -tpTagFile input-text-file output-binary-file

If input-text-file sets the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter to 0, then output-binary-file is not encrypted. If the input-text-file sets EncryptKey to a non-zero value, then output-binary-file is encrypted with that value.

OL-3410-01

• cfgfmt -eSecret -tpTagFile input-text-file output-binary-file

If the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter has the value of 0 or is not included in input-text-file, the Secret is used to encrypt the output-binary-file. If input-text-file sets the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter to a nonzero value and the -e option is used, then output-binary-file is encrypted with the EncryptKey parameter set in input-text-file and Secret is ignored.

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

3-11

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

• cfgfmt -E -tpTagFile input-text-file output-binary-file

The -E (uppercase) option means that any value specified for the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter in input-text-file is ignored. However, because Secret is not specified in this example, output-binary-file is not encrypted. Nevertheless, the EncryptKey parameter and its value, if specified in input-file-text, will be included in output-binary-file for possible encryption at a later time.

• cfgfmt -E -eSecret -tpTagFile input-text-file output-binary-file

The -E (uppercase) option means that any value specified for the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter in input-text-file is ignored and the output-binary-file is encrypted with the Secret key. However, the EncryptKey parameter and its value, if specified in input-text-file, will be included in output-binary-file.

atadefault.cfg Configuration File

You can create a configuration file, called atadefault.cfg, that is common to all Cisco ATAs. This configuration file is applied to a Cisco ATA only if a unique configuration file (ata<macaddress>) does not exist for the Cisco ATA on the TFTP server during the Cisco ATA power-up procedure.

You can use the atadefault.cfg file to provide limited functionality for when you first install the Cisco ATA. For example, if your service provider provides the ethernet connection and VoIP telephony service, you may need to call customer service to activate the service. If the atadefault.cfg file is configured to provide a direct connection to the customer service center, you can simply pick up the telephone and wait to be connected without using your regular phone.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

The following procedure illustrates how to create the Cisco ATA default configuration file, convert it to the required binary format that the Cisco ATA can read, and store it on the TFTP server so that the Cisco ATA will download it during the boot-up process:

Procedure

Step 1 Make a copy of the example_uprofile.txt file and rename it atadefault.txt.

Step 2 Make the desired configuration changes by editing the atadefault.txt file, then save the file.

Step 3 Convert the atadefault.txt file to a binary file by running the cfgfmt.exe tool, which is bundled with the

Cisco ATA software.

Note Be sure to name the output file atadefault.cfg.

Step 4 Store the binary atadefault.cfg configuration file in the TFTP server root directory.

During the boot-up process, the Cisco ATA will download this file as its configuration file unless it first finds a Cisco ATA-specific configuration file named for the MAC address of the Cisco ATA.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

Configuring the Cisco ATA to Obtain its Configuration File from the TFTP Server

This section describes three methods for how the Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server to obtain its configuration file:

• Using a DHCP Server, page 3-13

–

The Cisco ATA contacts the DHCP server, which provides the IP address of the TFTP server

–

The Cisco ATA uses the DHCP server but the DHCP server does not know about the TFTP server

• Without Using a DHCP Server, page 3-15

Using a DHCP Server

When using a DHCP server, configuration settings vary depending on whether or not the DHCP server is under the control of the Cisco ATA system administrator or the service provider. The simplest configuration is when the DHCP server is under the control of the Cisco ATA administrator, in which case the DHCP server provides the IP address of the TFTP server. Depending on who controls the DHCP server, follow the applicable configuration procedure:

• Procedure if DHCP Server is Under Control of Cisco ATA Administrator, page 3-13

• Procedure if DHCP Server is not Under Control of Cisco ATA Administrator, page 3-14

This section also includes the topic:

• Other DHCP Options You Can Set, page 3-14

Note If no DHCP server is found and the Cisco ATA is programmed to find one, the function button

continues to blink.

Procedure if DHCP Server is Under Control of Cisco ATA Administrator

Procedure

Step 1 On the DHCP server, set one of the following two options:

• DHCP option 150 (TFTP server IP address)

• Standard DHCP option 66 (TFTP server name)

If you use DHCP option 150, the Cisco ATA will ignore DHCP option 66. However, if you use DHCP option 66, you must turn off DHCP option 150 or set its value to 0.

Note You can turn off the DHCP option 150 request by using the Cisco ATA OpFlags parameter (see

the “OpFlags” section on page 5-34).

OL-3410-01

Step 2 Make sure to use default values for the following Cisco ATA parameters:

• TftpURL=0

• UseTftp=1

• DHCP=1

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

3-13

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

This completes the parameter settings and DHCP options you need to configure for this procedure. The Cisco ATA will contact the DHCP server for the IP address of the TFTP server that contains the Cisco ATA configuration file.

Procedure if DHCP Server is not Under Control of Cisco ATA Administrator

This is the procedure to use if the DHCP server is not under the control of the Cisco ATA administrator, which means that the URL of the TFTP server must be manually configured.

Procedure

Step 1 Using the voice configuration menu, set the parameter TftpURL to the IP address or URL of the TFTP

server. For more information on setting the TftpURL parameter, see the “TftpURL” section on page 5-5. For information about using the Cisco ATA voice configuration menu, see the “Voice Configuration

Menu” section on page 3-15.

Note If you are not using a DHCP server to provide the TFTP server location, you must manually

configure the TftfURL. You can do this by using the voice configuration menu without first obtaining network connectivity for the Cisco ATA. If you want to configure this value using the Web configuration page, you first must obtain network connectivity by using the voice configuration menu to statically configure IP address information (see the “Voice Configuration

Menu” section on page 3-15).

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Step 2 Use the default value of 1 for the Cisco ATA parameter DHCP.

Step 3 Use the default value of 1 for the Cisco ATA parameter UseTftp.

This completes the parameter settings you need to configure for this procedure. The Cisco ATA will contact the manually configured TFTP server that contains the Cisco ATA configuration file.

Other DHCP Options You Can Set

The following parameters can also be configured with DHCP:

• Boot file name of DHCP header—The ata<macaddress> binary Cisco ATA configuration file,

which can have a maximum of 31 characters and can be any name with printable ASCII characters

• Client PC address

• DHCP option 1—Client Subnet Mask

• DHCP option 3—Routers on the client’s subnet

• DHCP option 6—One or two Domain Name servers

• DHCP option 42—One or two Network Time Protocol servers

• DHCP option 43—Set this option to identify the protocol (for example, SIP)

• DHCP Option 60 (DHCP_VENDOR_CLASS_ID)—Use this parameter to identify the type of

Cisco ATA box (ATA1 86 or ATA1 88 ).

3-14

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

OL-3410-01

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Without Using a DHCP Server

Use the following procedure if you are not using a DHCP server in your environment but are still using a TFTP server to obtain the Cisco ATA configuration file:

Procedure

Step 1 Set the DHCP parameter to 0.

Step 2 Set the UseTFTP parameter to 1.

Step 3 Set the Cisco ATA parameter TftpURL to the IP address or URL of the TFTP server. For more

information on setting the TftpURL parameter, see the “TftpURL” section on page 5-5.

Note If you are not using a DHCP server to provide the TFTP server location, you must manually enter

the TftpUrl using either the voice configuration menu or the Web configuration page.

Step 4 If you have done already done so, statically configure the following parameters using the voice

configuration menu (see the “Voice Configuration Menu” section on page 3-15). These are the parameters you need to configure for the Cisco ATA to obtain network connectivity:

• StaticIP

Voice Configuration Menu

• StaticRoute

• StaticNetMask

Other parameters that are normally supplied by DHCP may be provided statically by configuring their values. These parameters are:

• DNS1IP

• DNS2IP

• NTPIP

• AltNTPIP

• Domain

This completes the parameter settings you need to configure in order for the Cisco ATA to contact the TFTP server (without using DHCP) that will contain the configuration file for the Cisco ATA.

Voice Configuration Menu

The main reasons to use the voice configuration menu are to establish IP connectivity for the Cisco ATA if a DHCP server is not being used in your network environment, and to reset the Cisco ATA to its factory values if necessary. You can also use the voice configuration menu if you need to configure a small number of parameters or if the web interface and TFTP configuration are not available.

OL-3410-01

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

Voice Configuration Menu

Note Do not use the voice configuration menu to attempt to change any values that you configured by means

of the TFTP configuration file method. Whenever the Cisco ATA refreshes, it downloads its ata<macaddress> configuration file or atadefault.cfg default configuration file from the TFTP server, and the values in either of these files will overwrite the values of any corresponding parameters configured with the voice configuration menu.

See Chapter 5, “Parameters and Defaults,” for a complete list of parameters and their definitions. Also see Table 4-3 on page 4-12 for an alphabetical listing of configurable features and references to their corresponding parameters.

This section contains the following topics:

• Using the Voice Configuration Menu, page 3-16

• Entering Alphanumeric Values, page 3-17

• Resetting the Cisco ATA to Factory Default Values, page 3-18

Using the Voice Configuration Menu

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

To manually configure the Cisco ATA by using the voice configuration menu and the telephone keypad, perform the following steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Connect an analog touch-tone phone to the port labeled Phone 1 on the back of the Cisco ATA.

Step 2 Lift the handset and press the function button located on the top of the Cisco ATA. You should receive

the initial voice configuration menu voice prompt.

Step 3 Using the telephone keypad, enter the voice menu code for the parameter that you want to configure or

the command that you want to execute, then press #. For a list of voice menu codes, see Appendix B,

“Voice Menu Codes.”

Table 3-5 lists the menu options that you need to configure basic IP connectivity for the Cisco ATA,

after which you can use the Cisco ATA web configuration page to configure additional parameters.

Note If you are using the voice configuration menu to statically configure the Cisco ATA IP address,

you must disable DHCP by setting its value to 0.

Table 3-5 Parameters that Provide Basic IP Connectivity for the Cisco ATA

Voice Menu Number Features

1 StaticIP—IP address of the Cisco ATA.

2 StaticRoute—Default gateway for the Cisco ATA to use.

10 StaticNetMask—Subnet mask of the Cisco ATA.

20 DHCP—Set value to 0 to disable the use of a DHCP server; set value to 1 to enable

DHCP.

21 Review the IP address of the Cisco ATA.

22 Review the default router for the Cisco ATA to use.

23 Review subnet mask of the Cisco ATA.

Step 4 Follow the voice prompts and enter the appropriate values, then press the # key.

Note Use the * key to indicate a delimiter (dot). For example, to enter an IP address of 192.168.3.1,

you would enter 192*168*3*1 on your telephone keypad.

Note When entering values for a field that contains a hexadecimal value, you must convert the

hexadecimal value to a decimal value in order to enter it into the voice configuration menu system. For example, to enter the hexadecimal value 0x6A, you would enter the number 106 on the telephone keypad.

Voice Configuration Menu

The voice configuration menu repeats the value you entered, then prompts you to press one of the following keys:

• 1=Change your entered value

• 2=Review your entered value

• 3=Save your entered value

• 4=Review the current saved value

Step 5 Press the # key after you have entered the desired key. If you do not press the # key, the system will

automatically timeout after 10 seconds.

Step 6 Cisco strongly recommends that you set a password. Use the voice menu code 7387277 (SETPASS) to

configure a password through the voice configuration menu, after which you are prompted for the password whenever you attempt to change a parameter value.

Step 7 After completing the configuration through the voice configuration menu, press the # key to exit.

Step 8 Hang up the telephone. The Cisco ATA configuration refreshes. The function button fast-blinks when

the refresh completes.

Entering Alphanumeric Values

Some voice configuration menu options require you to enter alphanumeric characters. Alphanumeric entry differs from numeric entry because you must press # after each character selected.

OL-3410-01

If you need to enter an alphanumeric value, the voice prompt tells you to enter an alphanumeric value; otherwise, enter a numeric value (0 to 9).

Table 3-6 lists the keys on a telephone keypad and their respective alphanumeric characters.

Using Tabl e 3 - 6 as a guide, enter the appropriate number key on the telephone keypad as many times as needed to select the number, letter, or symbol required. For example, to enter 58sQ, you would enter:

Resetting the Cisco ATA to Factory Default Values

It is possible that you may, under some circumstances, want to reset the Cisco ATA to its factory default values. For example, this is the only way to recover a forgotten password without contacting your Cisco representative.

To perform a factory reset, you must use the voice configuration menu and follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Press the function button on the Cisco ATA.

Step 2 Press the digits 322873738 (FACTRESET) then press # on your telephone keypad.

Step 3 Press 3 on your telephone keypad to confirm that you want to reset the Cisco ATA, then hang up the phone.

Cisco ATA Web Configuration Page

You can use the Cisco ATA web configuration page in a non-TFTP configuration environment, or in a TFTP configuration environment as a read-only record of individual customer parameters.

You can display the most recent Cisco ATA configuration file from the TFTP server by opening your web browser and typing the following:

http://<ipaddress>/refresh

You can access the web configuration page from any graphics-capable browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape. This provides easy initial access to the Cisco ATA configuration within the administrator’s private network.

Follow these steps to set parameters using the web configuration page:

Procedure

Step 1 Make sure that your PC and the Cisco ATA are already networked and visible to each another.

Step 2 Open your web browser.

Step 3 Enter the URL for your configuration page. The default URL for the web server is:

http://IP Address/dev

For example, the configuration page for a Cisco ATA with the IP address 192.168.3.225 is:

http://192.168.3.225/dev

Step 4 Select the values for the items that you want to configure. See Chapter 5, “Parameters and Defaults,” for

a complete list of parameters and their definitions. Also see Table 4-3 on page 4-12 for an alphabetical listing of configurable features and references to their corresponding parameters.

Refreshing or Resetting the Cisco ATA

Note Cisco strongly recommends that you set a password. Use the UIPassword parameter to configure a

password, after which you are prompted for the password whenever you attempt to change a parameter value. Configuration parameters cannot be accessed through the voice configuration menu if the password contains one or more letters and can be changed only by using the web interface or the TFTP configuration method.

Step 5 Click apply to save your changes.

The Cisco ATA automatically refreshes its configuration.

Step 6 Close your web browser.

Refreshing or Resetting the Cisco ATA

Whenever you make configuration changes to your Cisco ATA configuration file, you can refresh or reset the Cisco ATA for these configuration changes to immediately take effect. If you do not refresh or reset the Cisco ATA, the configuration changes will take effect the next time the Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server, which occurs based on the configured value of the CfgInterval parameter.

Note A refresh procedure will update the Cisco ATA configuration file. A reset procedure will also update the

Cisco ATA configuration file, and will additionally power-down and power-up the Cisco ATA. A reset should not be necessary if your only goal is to update the configuration file.

Establishing Authentication

The Cisco ATA supports two levels of authentication, depending on the setting of the UseLoginID parameter:

• If UseLoginID is set to 0, the user ID (UID0 or UID1) is used with a user-supplied password (PWD0

or PWD1) for authentication.

• If UseLoginID is set to 1, you must supply a login ID (LoginID0 or LoginID1) and a password

(PWD0 or PWD1) for authentication.

Setting the Codec

The LBRCodec (low-bit-rate codec) parameter determines whether the G.723 or G.729A codec, in addition to G.711A-law and G.711µ-law, can be used for receiving and transmitting. For configuration information, see the “LBRCodec” section on page 5-20.

Configuring Refresh Interval

When the value specified in the CfgInterval parameter is reached, the Cisco ATA attempts to refresh its configuration file from the TFTP server. By opening a web page for the Cisco ATA, you can perform a refresh before the scheduled refresh. Set the CfgInterval parameter to an interval value (in seconds) for refreshing the Cisco ATA configuration file. Cisco recommends that the interval be semi-random to prevent many simultaneous contacts with the TFTP server. For more information, see the “CfgInterval”

section on page 5-5.

When the Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server, it also checks to see if an upgrade signaling image has been placed on the TFTP server. If such an image exists, the Cisco ATA will download this image.

Comfort Noise During Silence Period When Using G.711

When silence suppression is turned on in ITU G.711, the Cisco ATA calculates and transmits its noise level to the far end to enable the remote endpoint to generate the appropriate amount of comfort noise. This provides the remote user with a similar experience to that of a PSTN call and prevents silent gaps when neither party is talking.

Related Parameter

AudioMode, page 5-20—Bit 0 disables/enables silence suppression.

Configurable Hook Flash Timing

This feature provides the ability to adjust the hook-flash timing to meet local requirements.

Related Parameter

SigTimer, page 5-32—Bits 26 and 27 are for configuring the minimum on-hook time required for a hook

flash event, and bits 28 through 31 are for configuring maximum on-hook time.

Additional SIP Services

Configurable Mixing of Call Waiting Tone and Audio

This feature allows the call-waiting tone to be mixed with the audio in an active call. Therefore, the call-waiting tone will sound without a pause in the audio.

Related Parameter

ConnectMode, page 5-28—Bit 24

Configurable On-hook delay

This feature is available only for the recipient (callee) of a call. If the callee picks up the phone and then later hangs up to retrieve another call, the hang-up is not considered on-hook until the specified delay expires.

Related Parameter

Chapter 4 Basic and Additional SIP Services

Distinctive Ringing

This feature allows a user to identify a caller based on the ringing pattern the user selects for the incoming number.

This feature is dependent on the proxy or remote UA, including the Alert-Info header with the appropriate value in the INVITE message. The Cisco ATA supports standard distinctive ringing pattern 1 to 5 as defined in the standard GR-506-CORE.

The following Alert-Info header values are allowed:

• Bellcore-dr1

• Bellcore-dr2

• Bellcore-dr3

• Bellcore-dr4

• Bellcore-dr5

If the Alert-Info header value is not recognized, the Cisco ATA plays the regular ring tone, Bellcore-dr1.

Note The Bellcore-dr5 ringing pattern is the same as the Bellcore-dr1 ringing pattern.

DNS SRV Support

4-6

The Cisco ATA supports DNS SRV lookup for the SIP proxy server. If the GkOrProxy parameter value begins with _sip._udp. or sip.udp., the Cisco ATA performs a DNS SRV lookup for the SIP proxy server. A DNS SRV lookup results in one of the following conditions:

• Zero host is returned or DNS SRV lookup failed. The Cisco ATA then performs a regular DNS

A-record lookup for the given name.

• One host is returned. The single host is used as the primary proxy and AltGk is the backup proxy,

if specified.

Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator’s Guide (SIP)

OL-3410-01

Chapter 4 Basic and Additional SIP Services

• Two or more hosts are returned. The two hosts with the highest priorities are used as the primary

and backup proxy servers (AltGk is ignored in this case).

Related Parameters

• GkOrProxy, page 5-10

• AltGk, page 5-13

Hardware Information Display

Cisco ATA hardware information is displayed in the lower-left corner of the Cisco ATA Web configuration page.

NAT Gateway

Network Address Translation (NAT) supports port mapping and forwarding to standard default SIP signaling port 5060 and media base port 16384, or other ports as configured in the Cisco ATA. Media ports are evenly numbered from the base port. NAT must support multiple port mappings. The Cisco ATA can use up to four media ports to handle conference calls on both lines. For example, if media base port 16384 is used for one call, the next call uses port 16386 and other calls will use ports 16388 and 16390.

Additional SIP Services

Note Routers such as D-Link, WinRoute, and WinProxy may not route correctly if both caller and callee are

behind the same NAT.

To configure the Cisco ATA to work in a NAT environment, modify the following parameters:

• StaticRoute, page 5-7—Enter the LAN IP address of the NAT through which the Cisco ATA will

communicate.

• NATIP, page 5-16—Enter the WAN IP address of the NAT through which all external SIP user

agents will communicate.

• SIPPort, page 5-17—Enter a new port for SIP messages (optional).

• MediaPort, page 5-17—Enter a new base port for RTP media (optional).

NAT/PAT Translation

To maintain Network Address Translation/Port Address Translation (NAT/PAT) for a session, the Cisco ATA can be configured to periodically send a dummy UDP packet to a server (the Cisco ATA does not expect any response from the server).

Related Parameters

• NatTimer, page 5-19—Bits 0 to 11 are for specifying the retransmission period.

• NatServer, page 5-18—Specify the server to which the dummy packet is sent.

Additional SIP Services

Network Timing

You can fine tune your network timing with the following parameters:

• TimeZone, page 5-30—Use for time-stamping incoming calls (offset from Greenwich Mean Time)

with local time.

• NTPIP, page 5-30—Use for configuring the IP address of the Network Time Protocol server. NTP

is a protocol built on top of TCP that ensures accurate local time-keeping with reference to radio and atomic clocks located on the Internet.

• AltNTPIP, page 5-31—Use to configure an alternate NTP server IP address.

• ConnectMode, page 5-28—Used to control the connection mode of the SIP protocol.

OutBoundProxy Support

If the OutBoundProxy parameter is a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), and DNS returns multiple IP addresses, the first IP address is used as the primary outbound proxy and the second IP address as the secondary outbound proxy. If OutBoundProxy is an IP address or if DNS returns only one IP address, then a backup outbound proxy is not available. The AltGkTimeOut parameter determines the backup proxy timeout value for the outbound proxy.

Chapter 4 Basic and Additional SIP Services

If the backup proxy fails, the Cisco ATA automatically switches back to the primary proxy if the unit has been using the backup proxy for at least 30 seconds. This effectively prevents the Cisco ATA from switching indefinitely between failing primary and failing backup proxies for the same transactions.

Switching between primary and secondary proxies can occur only for initial INVITE and REGISTER requests. Other requests, such as CANCEL, BYE, ACK, and re-INVITE, do not retry the backup proxy but give up if the current proxy fails.

When OutBoundProxy is enabled, the Cisco ATA determines whether to retry to connect with the backup OutBoundProxy or backup SIP proxy if the INVITE or REGISTER requests fail. If the reason for failure is an ICMP error (such as an unreachable host), the Cisco ATA retries with the backup outbound proxy. If failure is due to timeout while waiting for a response or a 5xx response, the Cisco ATA retries the backup SIP proxy.

Related Parameter

Progress Tones

Values for the following parameters (all defined in the “Call-Progress Tone Parameters” section on

page 5-42) must be determined based on the country in which the Cisco ATA is located:

• OutBoundProxy, page 5-17

• AltGkTimeOut, page 5-13

• DialTone

Receiver-tagged VIA header

You can disable or enable the processing the received = parameter in the Via header. This feature is disabled by default.

Related Parameter

ConnectMode, page 5-28—Bit 22

Repeat Dialing on Busy Signal

This feature allows the Cisco ATA to repeatedly call a busy number at a periodic interval for a specific length of time. Both the interval and total time can be specified by the user.

To use this feature, configure FeatureTimer bits 0-7 and add the new command/action values "#37#;kA" to the existing “H” context and “5;jA” to the existing “S” context in the CallCmd parameter.

This feature is invoked by pressing 5 after the busy tone sounds. The caller then gets a beep confirmation followed by silence. When the subscriber hangs up, the Cisco ATA starts to redial at the interval specified in FeatureTimer bits 4-7. When the called party rings, the caller is notified with a special ring. If the called party picks up the call first, the called party receives a ringback. If the caller picks up the call first, the caller receives the ringback. This feature is automatically cancelled when the called party rings.

Additional SIP Services

Note For this feature to work properly, the remote user agent server must return a 486 (Busy Here) response

to an INVITE request if it detects that the remote party (IP or PSTN) is busy. If the server returns a 183 (Session Progress) response with an SDP before a 486, the Cisco ATA considers the call successful and automatically cancels repeat dialing.

Related Parameters

• FeatureTimer, page 5-26—Bits 0 to 3 control the maximum time the Cisco ATA redials a number.

• FeatureTimer, page 5-26—Bits 4 to 7 control the interval between each redial that the Cisco ATA

performs.A value of zero (0) sets the default redial interval to 15 seconds.

• CallCmd, page 5-47—The following context commands are used as follows:

Parameter: CallCmd Context: S (may also include 'a' or 'b') Command/action: 5;jA Description: This context command adds the service activation code to enable repeat dialing.

Parameter: CallCmd Context: H Command/action: #37#;kA Description: This context command adds the service deactivation code to disable repeat dialing

Note For complete information about call commands, see Chapter 6, “Call Commands.”

Additional SIP Services

SIP Proxy Server Redundancy

SIP proxy server redundancy can be enabled by entering a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address (and optional port number) in the GkOrProxy and AltGk parameters, and by configuring the AltGkTimeOut parameter. If you provide hostnames for GkOrProxy or AltGk, the names are resolved by the configured DNS. DNS results are hard-coded in cache memory for 10 minutes.

If DNS returns multiple IP addresses, the Cisco ATA uses only the first IP address. If AltGk is set to 0 (disabled) and DNS returns two or more IP addresses for GkOrProxy, then the Cisco ATA uses the first IP address as the primary proxy and the second IP address as the secondary proxy. If GkOrProxy is an IP address or DNS returns one IP address, then the backup SIP proxy is not available. A special case exists if GkOrProxy and AltGk are the same values and are not IP addresses. In this case, the AltGk parameter is assumed to have the value 0.

Related parameters

• AltGk, page 5-13

• AltGkTimeOut, page 5-13

Chapter 4 Basic and Additional SIP Services

Stuttering Dial Tone on Unconditional Call Forward

If unconditional call forwarding is enabled, the Cisco ATA plays a continuous stuttering dial tone when the telephone handset is picked up. This reminds the user that all incoming calls are forwarded to another number. For more information, see the “Call Forwarding in the United States” section on page A-5 and the “Call Forwarding in Sweden” section on page A-6.

User Configurable Call Waiting Permanent Default Setting

This feature allows you to specify the default call-waiting setting for every call on a permanent basis by means of the service activation and deactivation codes.

Related Parameter

ConnectMode, page 5-28—Bit 23

User Configurable Timeout On No Answer for Call Forwarding

This feature allows you to specify the timeout before a call is forwarded to another number on no answer.

This feature is activated by entering the service activation code followed by the phone number and delay. The entry sequence is as follows:

<Service Activation Code> <Phone Number> * <Delay> #

Delay can be from 1 to 255 seconds. If the delay is zero (0) or not provided by the user, the delay specified in the SigTimer parameter (bits 20-25), which has a default value of 20 seconds, is in effect.

4-10

Example

Using the U.S. Call Command parameter string, the U.S. service activation code is #75 and the deactivation code is #73.
