Configuration Text File Template
NoteThe 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 A TA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 are explicitly stated.
NoteThis section contains recommended values for the United States and Sweden as configuration examples
for certain parameters. For information about other countries, contact the Ci sco equipmen t provider for
a specific country.
Configuration Text File Template
This is a listing of the example_uprofile.txt text file, without its annotations, that comes bundled with
the Cisco ATA software.
You can make a copy of this file and use it as a template for creating your own default configuration f ile
or Cisco ATA-specific configuration file. For instructions on how to create these conf iguration f iles, see
the “Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files” section on page 3-8.
The example_uprofile.txt file contains all the Cisco ATA default values. The sections that follow this
listing describe all the parameters in this file.
The sections that follow describe these parameters.
User Interface (UI) Parameter
This section contains only one parameter—UIPassword.
UIPassword
Description
This parameter controls access to web page or voice configuration menu interface. To set a password,
enter a value other than zero. To have the user prompted for this password when attempting to perform
a factory reset or upgrade using the voice configuration menu, see the “OpFlags” section on page 5-33.
To clear a pa ssword, change the value to 0.
You cannot recover a forgotten passwo rd unless you reset the enti re conf iguration of the Cisco ATA (s ee
the “Resetting the Cisco A TA to Factory Default Values” section on page 3-18). If you forget a password,
you can contact your Cisco representative.
NoteWhen UIPassword contains letters, you cannot enter the password from the telephone keypad.

Related Parameters
• TftpURL, page 5-5
• EncryptKey, page 5-6
• OpFlags, page 5-33—bits 0 and 3
• CfgInterval, page 5-6
Description
Use this parameter to specify the IP address or URL of the TFTP server. This string is needed if the DHCP
server does not provide the TFTP server IP address. When the TftpURL parameter is set to a non-zero value,
this parameter has priority over the TFTP server IP address supplied by the DHCP server.
Optionally, you can include the path prefix to the TFTP file to download.
For example, if the TFTP server IP address is 192.168.2.170 or www.cisco.com, and the path to
download the TFTP file is in /ata186, you can specify the URL as 192.168.2.170/ata186 or
www.cisco.com/ata186.
NoteFrom the voice configurat ion menu, you can only enter the I P address; from the web server , you can ent er
the actual URL.

Description
This parameter allows you to specif y whic h low-bit-rate codecs are available. Th e Ci sco ATA is capable
of supporting two G.723.1 connections or one G.729 connection. When G.723.1 is selected as the low-bit-rate
codec, each FXS port is allocated with one G.723.1 connection. When G.729 is selected, only one FXS port
is capable of operating with the G.729 codec. The allocation of the G.729 resource to the FXS port is dynamic.
The G.729 resource, if available, is allocated to an FXS port when a call is initiated or received; the resource
is released when a call is completed.

About Dial Plan Commands
The following list contains rules for Cisco ATA dial plans:
• . —Wildcard, match any digit entered.
• - —Additional digits can be entered. This command can be used only at the end of a dial plan rule
(for example, 1408t5- is legal usage of the - command, but 1408t5-3... is illegal).
• >#—Defines the # character as a termination character. When the termination character is entered,
the dial string is automatically sent. The termination character can be entered only after at least one
user-entered digit matches a dial plan rule. Alternatively, the command >* can be used to define *
as the termination character.
• tn— Defines the timeout v alue n, in the unit of seconds, for the interdigit timer. V a lid value s are 0-9 and
a-z, where a-z indicates a range of 10 to 36.
• rn—Repeat the last pattern n times, where n is 0-9 or a-z. The values a-z indicate a range of 10 to
36. Use the repeat modifier to specify more rules in less space.
NoteThe commands ># and tn are modifiers, not patterns, and are ignored by the rn command.
Chapter 5 Parameters and Defaults
• |—Used to separate multiple dial plan rules.
• ^—Logical not. Match any character except the character immediately following the ^ command.
• S—Seize rule matching. If a dial plan rule matches the sequence of digits entered by the user to this
point, and the modifier S is the next command in the dial plan rule, all other rules are negated for
the remainder of the call (for example, a dial plan beginning with *S will be the only one in effect
if the user first enters the * key).
NoteAll rules apply in the order listed (whichever rule is completely matched first will immediately send the
dial string).
NoteNo syntax check is performed by the actual implementation. The administrator has the responsibility of
making sure that the dial plan is syntactically valid.
• *St4-—If the first digit entered is *, all other dial plan rules are voided. Additional digits can be
entered after the initial * digit, and the timeout before automatic dial string send is four second s.
5-38
• #St4—Same as above, except with # as the initial digit entered.
• 911—If the dial string 911 is entered, send it immediately.
• 1>#t8.r9t2—If the first digit entered is 1, the timeout before automatic send is eight seconds. The
terminating character # can be entered at any time to manually send the dial string. After the 11th
digit is entered, the timeout before an automatic send changes to two seconds. The user can enter
more digits until the dial string is sent by the timeout or by the user entering the # character.

11th digit is entered, the timeout before an automatic send changes to one second. The user can enter
more digits until the dial string is sent by the timeout or by the user entering the # character.
• 0t4>#.t7—If the first digit entered is 0, the timeout before an automatic send is four seconds, and
the terminating character # can be entered at any time to manually send the dial string. After the
second digit is entered, the timeout before an automatic send changes to seven seconds. The user
can enter more digits until the dial string is sent b y the timeout or by the u ser entering the # character.
Dial Plan Blocking (In Rule)
Dial plan blocking can be used to reduce the occurrences of invalid dialed digits being sent and can
prevent the dialed string of a specified pattern from being sent. By adding dial plan blocking, dialed
digits are discarded after the interdigit timer expires unless one of the specified matching rules is met.
In addition, the default nine-second global interdigit timeout value is also modified with the value specified
in the dial plan blocking command:
In
where n specifies the global interdigit timeout and the valid values are 1-9 and a-z (10-35).

Optional Feature Parameters
For example, to enter an interdigit ti meout of 12 seconds and di scard dialed digits unless 9 11 is entered,
you would use the following command:
Ic| 911
Specifying your own interdigit timeout also changes the behavior of the dial plan so that the entire dial
string, rather than being sent at timeout, is sent only as a result o f a matching rule or time intended by a
matching rule.
'H' Rule to Support Hotline/Warmline
Hotline/Warmline, also known as Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR), is a line used for priority
telephone service. If the Hotline feature is configured, the Cisco ATA immediately dials a pre-configured
number as soon as the handset goes off hook. If the Warmline feature is configured, the Cisco ATA dials a
pre-configured number if no digits were entered before the specified timer value expired when the handset
went off hook.
Syntax
Hdnnnn
where d is a delay-in-seconds parameter 0-9,a-z (to support 0 to 35 seconds delay), and nnnn is the
variable-length phone number to cal l when no di gits ar e entered for d seconds after the handset goes of f
hook.
Chapter 5 Parameters and Defaults
• Example 1: H05551212 (Hotline configuration; the Cisco ATA immediately dials 555-1212 when the
handset goes off hook.)
• Example 2: H55551212 (Warmline configuration; the Cisco ATA waits for five seconds and dials
555-1212 if no digits were entered when the handset went off hook.)
'P' Rule to Support Dial Prefix
This rule is for automatic pre-p ending the dial string as ente red by the user with a specified prefix.
Syntax
Ptnnnn
where t is a single leading trigger character; if t is the first entered digit when making a new call, it
triggers the prepending of a variable-length prefix (as specified by nnnn) in the dial string. The t
character can take one of the following values:
0-9,*,#, 'n' (= any of 1-9), 'N' (any of 'n' and 0), 'a' (any of 'n',* and #), or 'A' (any of 'a' and 0);
Example:
Pn12345: Prepends 12345 to the dial string when the f irst ent ered digit is an y of 1-9. The tri ggered digit
is not removed from the dial string .

Tone Parameter Syntax
Each tone is specified by nine integers, as follows:
• ntone is the number of frequency components (0, 1 or 2).
• freq[0] (Hz) is the transformed frequency of the first frequency component (-32768 to 32767).
NoteOnly positive v alues can be conf igured to the Cisco ATA 186. For negati ve values, u se the 16-bit
• freq[1] is the transformed frequency of the second frequency component (-32768 to 32767).
• level[0] is the transformed amplitude of the first frequency component (-32768 to 32767).
• level[1] is the transformed amplitude of the second frequency component (-32768 to 32767).
• steady controls whether the tone is constant or intermitt ent. A v alue of 1 indi cates a steady ton e and
causes the Cisco ATA to ignore the on-time and of f-time parameters. A v alue of 0 indicates an on/o ff
tone pattern and causes the Cisco ATA to use the on-time and off-time parameters.
• on-time controls the length of time the tone is heard in milliseconds (ms) expressed as an integer
from 0 to 0xffff sample at 8000 samples/second.
2’s-complement value. For example, enter -1 as 65535 or 0xffff.

the tone will play until another call event stops the tone. For DialTone, B usyTone, ReorderTone, and
RingBackTone, the configurable value is the number of 10 ms (100 = 1 second) units.
For the other tones, the val ue is the number of samples at 8000 samples/second, where the fol lowing
information applies:
–
Frequency ranges from 0 to 4000 (Hz)
–
Transformed Frequency = 32767 · cos (2pi·Frequency/8000)
–
Amplitude ranges from 0 to 32767
–
Transformed Amplitude = A · 32767 · sin (2pi·Frequency/8000)
The scaling factor A determines the volume level of the tone. To calculate scaling factors, see the
“How to Calculate Scaling Factors” section on page 5-42.
How to Calculate Scaling Factors
Use the following formula to calculate the scaling factor A:
A=0.5 * 10^
((k+10-(n-1)*3)/20)
In this formula, k is the desirable volume in dBm; n is the number of frequency components. The ^
symbol means to the order of.
Example
If a one-frequency component of -20 dBm volume level is desirable, then:
A=0.5 * 10^
((-20+10)/20)
Recommended Values
The following settings are recommended for the US:
