THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER WARRANTY HEREIN, ALL DOCUMENT FILES AND SOFTWARE OF THESE SUPPLIERS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH

Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product,
technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC
Escalation Center. The avenue of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the
conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.
We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:
•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities,
product installation, or basic product configuration.
•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably
impaired, but most business operations continue.
•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects
of business operations. No workaround is available.
•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations
will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
Cisco TAC Website
You can use the Cisco TAC website to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The
site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the
Cisco TAC website, go to this URL:

If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC
website so that you can describe the situation in your own words and attach any necessary files.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These
classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations.
When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer
automatically opens a case.

CallManager is coupled with an H.323 Gatekeeper or an MGCP Call Agent, a Cisco ATA
running SCCP interoperates with H.323 terminals on the far end to establish, control and clear audio
calls.
Figure 1-4 illustrates the architecture of an SCCP network.

The unit provides the following connectors and indicators:
•5V power connector.
•Two RJ-11 FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) ports—The Cisco ATA supports two independent
RJ-11 telephone ports that can connect to any standard analog telephone device. Each port supports
either voice calls or fax sessions, and both ports can be used simultaneously.
NoteThe Cisco ATA186-I1 and Cisco ATA188-I1 provide 600-ohm resistive impedance. The Cisco
ATA186-I2 and Cisco ATA188-I2 provide 270 ohm + 750 ohm // 150-nF complex impedance.
The impedance option is requested when you place your order and should match your specific
application. If you are not sure of the applicable configuration, check your country or regional
telephone impedance requirements.
•Ethernet ports
–
The Cisco ATA 186 has one RJ-45 10BASE-T uplink Ethernet port to connect the
Cisco
ATA 186 to a 10/100BASE-T hub or another Ethernet device.
–
The Cisco ATA 188 has two Ethernet ports: an RJ-45 10/100BASE-T uplink port to connect the
Cisco
ATA 188 to a 10/100BASE-T hub or another Ethernet device and an RJ-45
10/100BASE-T data port to connect an Ethernet-capable device, such as a computer, to the
network.
NoteThe Cisco ATA 188 performs auto-negotiation for duplexity and speed and is capable of 10/100
Mbps, full-duplex operation. The Cisco ATA 186 is fixed at 10 Mbps, half-duplex operation.
•The Cisco ATA 188 RJ-45 LED shows network link and activity. The LED blinks twice when the
Cisco
ATA is first powered on, then turns off if there is no link or activity. The LED blinks to show
network activity and is solid when there is a link.
•The Cisco ATA 186 RJ-45 LED is solid when the Cisco ATA is powered on and blinks to show
network activity.
•Function button—The function button is located on the top panel of the unit (see Figure 1-7).

CallManager communication and the Cisco ATA
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
VLAN ID from the network switch, then the Cisco
ATA assumes it is not operating in a VLAN
ATA does not receive a response with a
environment and does not perform VLAN tagging on its packets.
NoteIf 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.
NoteIf your network environment does not contain a DHCP server, you need to statically configure
various IP addresses so that the Cisco
parameters that you must configure to obtain network connectivity, see
ATA can obtain network connectivity. For a list of
Table 3-7 on page 3-23.
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 3-22.
3. Also from the DHCP server, the Cisco ATA requests the IP address of the Cisco CallManager TFTP
server.

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 1Set 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 2Set bits 18-29 of the VLANSetting parameter 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 decimal 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.
Steps Needed to Configure the Cisco ATA
NoteIf 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.

The following procedure illustrates how to create a Cisco ATA-specific configuration file, convert it to
the required binary format that the Cisco
Cisco
ATA will download it as soon as you reset the Cisco ATA .
Procedure
Step 1Open the atadefault.txt file that you created when you developed your own default file. Find the
parameters whose values you want to change for this specific Cisco
into a new text file. Save the new text file with the following name:
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
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
Obtain MAC Address” section on page 3-13. That section includes an example of a dotted decimal MAC
address and its corresponding non-dotted hexadecimal address.

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.
Step 4Store all binary configuration file(s) in the TFTP server root directory. For information about possible
configuration file names, see the
“Configuration Files that the cfgfmt Tool Creates” section on
page 3-14.
Step 5Reset the Cisco ATA using the Cisco CallManager. (See the “Resetting the Cisco ATA Using Cisco
CallManager” section on page 3-23.)
After being reset, the Cisco ATA will download this ata<macaddress> binary configuration file as its
unique configuration file. This file takes precedence over the atadefault.cfg file. If the Cisco ATA finds
an ata<macaddress> file on the TFTP server, the Cisco ATA does not look for the atadefault.cfg file.

The version number of the cfgfmt tool will be returned.
You can configure the EncryptKeyEx parameter by using the Cisco ATA Web configuration page or by

You can configure the EncryptKey parameter by using the Cisco ATA Web configuration page, the
voice configuration menu, or by using the TFTP configuration method. (For more information, see the
“EncryptKey” section on page 5-6.)
By default, the Cisco ATA-specific ata<macaddress> configuration file(s) are not encrypted. If
encryption is required, however, you must manually configure the EncryptKeyEx or EncryptKey
parameter before you boot up the Cisco
ATA so that the TFTP method is secure. The Cisco ATA us es

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server
NoteBecause 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.
NoteFor 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.

•-h323—Specify this tag if you are using the H.323 protocol so that the cfgfmt tool will include only
the H.323 protocol parameters in the converted output binary file.
•-mgcp—Specify this tag if you are using the MGCP protocol so that the cfgfmt tool will include
only the MGCP protocol parameters in the converted output binary file.
•-sccp—Specify this tag if you are using the SCCP protocol so that the cfgfmt tool will include only
the SCCP protocol parameters in the converted output binary file.
•-g—This tag omits sensitive parameters in an ata<macaddress> file that was created with a version
of the cfgfmt tool prior to version 2.3.
Some parameters, specified in the ptag.dat file used by the cfgfmt tool, are marked as sensitive
information (these parameters could include UIPassword, UID, PWD0). These parameters are not

Syntax examples
The cfgfmt.exe syntax affects how the EncryptKeyEx or EncryptKey parameters are used, as shown in
the following examples. In these examples, input-text-file is the ata<macaddress>.txt file that you will
convert to binary to create the ata<macaddress> configuration file(s) for the Cisco
output-binary-file is that binary ata<macaddress> file, and Secret is the encryption key.
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

This is an example of how you might perform encryption on a first-time Cisco ATA .
The -X (uppercase) option means that any value specified for the Cisco ATA EncryptKeyEx
parameter in input-text-file is ignored. However, because Secret is not specified in this example,
output-binary-file is not encrypted. Nevertheless, the EncryptKeyEx parameter and its value, if
specified in input-file-text, will be included in output-binary-file for possible encryption at a later
time. The next time the Cisco

This is an example of changing the encryption key from one key to another key.
The -X (uppercase) option means that any value specified for the Cisco ATA EncryptKeyEx
parameter in input-text-file is ignored and the output-binary-file is encrypted with the Secret key.
However, the EncryptKeyEx parameter and its value, if specified in input-text-file, will be included
in output-binary-file.
Examples of Upgrading to Stronger Encryption Key
This section contains two examples of how you would upgrade your Cisco ATA configuration to use the
stronger encyrption method if the current Cisco
2.16.2. Versions earlier than 2.16.2 do not support the stronger EncryptKeyEx parameter.
Example 1
In this example, the Cisco ATA has not yet been deployed, but its firmware version is earlier than 2.16.2.
Therefore, the Cisco
as its encryption key.
The Cisco ATA in this example has a MAC address of 102030405060.
Perform the following steps:
ATA will upgrade to to firmware version 3.0 to use the EncryptKeyEx parameter
ATA firmware version was a version earlier than version
Procedure
Step 1Create a file called ata102030405060.txt by using the applicable example.txt file provided with the
Cisco
ATA software. (For example, for SCCP, the example.txt file is called sk_example.txt.)
Step 2Modify the ata102030405060.txt file with desired parameter values. The value of the EncryptKey
parameter should be 0.

Page 53
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SCCP
Step 3Set the value of the EncryptKeyEx parameter to the chosen encryption key with which you want the
output binary file to be encrypted. In the EncryptKeyEx parameter specified in the configuration file,
you can also restrict the EncryptKeyEx value to apply only to the Cisco
address. For example, if the chosen key value is 231e2a7f10bd7fe, you can specify EncryptKeyEx as:
EncryptKeyEx:231e2a7f10bd7fe/102030405060
This means that only the Cisco ATA with the MAC address 102030405060 will be allowed to apply this
EncryptKeyEx value to its internal configuration.
Step 4Update the upgradecode parameter to instruct the Cisco ATA to upgrade to firmware version 3.0 by
means of TFTP configuration. The upgradecode parameter is described in
Cisco ATA Signaling Image.”
Step 5Run the cfgfmt tool as follows:
cfgfmt -g ata102030405060.txt ata102030405060
This will generate the following two binary configuration files:
•ata102030405060
•ata102030405060.x
ata102030405060 is unencrypted.
ata102030405060.x is encrypted with EncryptKeyEx value.

Cisco
ATA does not yet recognize the EncryptKeyEx parameter).
c. The Cisco ATA upgrades to the 3.0 firmware load.
d. The Cisco ATA reboots.
e. The Cisco ATA again downloads the configuration file ata102030405060.
f. The Cisco ATA applies the value of the EncryptKeyEx parameter to its internal configuration.

h. The Cisco ATA EncryptKeyEx value is in effect, so from this point forward the Cisco ATA will
download the ata102030405060.x file at each reboot and each time the value configured in the

NoteAlthough EncryptKeyEx is encrypted in the ata<macaddress> file, and the ata<macaddress> file
does not contain other sensitive information, Cisco recommends that for absolute security you
pre-configure the Cisco
ATA as described in this example for a private network. Alternatively, you
should remove ata<macaddress> once EncryptKeyEx takes effect.

Example 2
In this example, a new Cisco ATA has already been deployed (with the EncryptKey value set) with a
firmware version earlier than 2.16.2. The Cisco
ATA needs to be upgraded to version 2.16.2 firmware
or greater to use EncryptKeyEx parameter to encrypt its configuration file.
In this scenario, you would follow the same procedure as in Example 1, except that you would need to
set the EncryptKey value to the previously configured EncryptKey value. The difference is that the
ata<macaddress> file is now encrypted with EncryptKey because the Cisco

Configuring the Cisco ATA to Obtain its Configuration File from the TFTP Server
This section describes three methods from which to choose how the Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server
to obtain its configuration file:
•Using a DHCP Server, page 3-18
–
The Cisco ATA contacts the DHCP server, which provides the IP address of the TFTP server

see the “CA0orCM0 and CA1orCM1” section on page 5-12.
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
configuration is when the DHCP server is under the control of the Cisco
case the DHCP server provides the IP address of the TFTP server. Depending on who controls the DHCP
server, follow the applicable configuration procedure:

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SCCP
Procedure if DHCP Server is Under Control of Cisco ATA Administrator
Procedure
Step 1On the DHCP server, set one of the following three options:
•DHCP option 150 (TFTP server IP address and, if applicable, IP address of alternate TFTP server).
•DHCP field siaddr (TFTP server IP address). This field can be used by systems such as
Cisco
Integrated Communications Services (ICS).
•Standard DHCP option 66 (TFTP server name and, if applicable, name of alternate TFTP server).
If you use DHCP option 150, the Cisco ATA will ignore the DHCP siaddr field and DHCP option 66. If
DHCP option 150 is not used, the Cisco
option 150 nor the siaddr field are available, the Cisco
option 66 or the DHCP siaddr field, you must turn off DHCP option 150 or set its value to 0.
NoteYou can turn off the DHCP option 150 request by using the Cisco ATA OpFlags parameter (see
the “OpFlags” section on page 5-24).
ATA next looks for the DHCP field siaddr. If neither DHCP

ATA looks for DHCP option 66. If you use DHCP
Step 2Make sure to use default values for the following Cisco ATA par ame ter s:
•TftpUrl=0
•AlttftpURL=0
•UseTftp=1
•DHCP=1
•CA0orCM0=0
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.
NoteIf you are configuring an alternate TFTP server, you can choose to configure its IP address or URL with
the AlttftpURL parameter (see the
“AlttftpURL” section on page 5-5) instead of with DHCP option 150.
In this situation, the AlttftpURL will not be 0, as indicated in Step 2 of this procedure.

Step 12To add a second FXS port to Cisco CallManager, go back to Step 3 and proceed from there.
You need to fabricate a MAC address for the Phone 2 port by dropping the two left-most digits from the
Cisco
ATA MAC address and add the digits 01 to the right-most portion of the MAC address.
Example
If the MAC address of the Cisco ATA i s 00070EA26032, then the fabricated MAC address for the Phone
2 port would be 070EA2603201.
NoteBy default, both Cisco ATA FXS ports are enabled for Cisco CallManager registration. If you do
not want to add the Phone 2 FXS port to Cisco
CallManager, you must change the Cisco ATA
EPID1orSID1 parameter value to 0 to disable the Phone 2 port. (To disable the Phone 1 port,
you must change the EPID0orSID0 parameter value to 0.)
Using the Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)

Chapter 4 Adding the Cisco ATA to the Cisco CallManager
Survivable Remote Site Telephony
During normal Cisco ATA operation, keepalive packets are exchanged between Cisco CallManagers and
Cisco
ATAs. When the WAN link fails, the Cisco ATA detects that it can no longer exchange keepalive
packets with the Cisco
Telephony (SRST) router.
The Cisco ATA is configured to query the SRST router as a backup call-processing source when the
central Cisco
setup and processing.
When the WAN link is restored, the Cisco ATA switches back to the central Cisco CallManager, and the
SRST router purges its call processing database and reverts to SRST-standby mode. Cisco
in use are not interrupted by the WAN link recovery and switch back to the central Cisco
after the call is terminated.
NoteSRST is configured on an SRST-enabled router and on the Cisco CallManager. The Cisco ATA does not
need to be configured to utilize SRST.
CallManager does not acknowledge keepalive packets. The SRST router performs call

encryption algorithm.
When EncryptKeyEx is used for encryption, the Cisco ATA searches for the configuration file with the
format ata<macaddress>.x. on the TFTP server.
If the value of the EncryptKeyEx parameter is 0, then the Cisco ATA uses the value of the EncryptKey
parameter for encryption.

Description
This parameter is used for selecting the low-bit-rate codec. The following values are valid:
•0—Select G.723.1 as the low-bit-rate codec (available only for connections 0 and 2).
•3—Select G.729A as the low-bit-rate codec (available only for connection 0). When G.729 is used,
only one FXS port can use G.729.
When operating with a low-bit-rate codec, the Cisco ATA can support either two G.723.1 connections
or one G.729 connection. The selection of G.723.1 or G.729 must be statically configured. When
G.723.1 is the low-bit-rate codec, each FXS port is allocated with one G.723.1 connection. When G.729
is used, only one FXS port can use G.729.
If LBRCodec=0, then both Cisco ATA FXS ports can operate with the following codecs:

The Cisco ATA supports two types of tone-parameter syntax—basic format and extended format. Basic
format is used in most countries; use the extended format only if the country in which the Cisco
ATA is
used requires this format.
This section covers all the call-progress tones that the Cisco ATA supports, and contains the following
topics:
•NumOfFreqs is the number of frequency components (0, 1 or 2).
•Tfreq1 and Tfreq2 are the transformed frequencies of the first and second frequencies, respectively.
Their values are calculated with the following formula:
32767 * cos (2*pi*F/8000)
where F is the desired frequency in Hz. Set this value to 0 if the frequency does not exist.
The range of each value is –32768 to 32767.
For negative values, use the 16-bit 2’s complement value. For example, enter –1 as 65535 or as
0xffff.
•Tam p1 and Tam p2 are the transformed amplitudes of the first and second frequencies, respectively.
Their values are calculated with the following formulas:
Tone Configuration Parameters
32767 * A * sin(2*pi*F/8000)
A (amplitude factor) = 0.5 * 10^((k+10-(n-1)*3)/20)
where F is the desired frequency in Hz, k is the desired volume in dBm, and n is the number of
frequencies. The ^ symbol means to the order of.

ATA to use the on-time and off-time parameters.
Specify each value as a number of samples with a sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value
is 0 to 0xffff. For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set the value to 2400.
•OffTime controls the length of time between audible tones in milliseconds (ms).
Specify each value as a number of samples with a sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value
is 0 to 0xffff. For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set the value to 2400.
•TotalToneTime controls the length of time the tone is played. If this value is set to 0, the tone will play
until another call event stops the tone. For DialTone, DialTone2, BusyTone, ReorderTone, and
RingBackTone, the configurable value is the number of 10 ms (100 = 1 second) units.
For the remaining tones, the configurable value is the number of samples with a sampling rate of 8
kHz.
NoteAll tones are persistent (until the Cisco ATA changes state) except for the call-waiting tone and the
confirm tone. The call-waiting tone, however, repeats automatically once every 10 seconds while the
call-waiting condition exists.

•Extended Format B, page 5-29—This format can be used only for the ReorderTone parameter.
Extended Format A
Each tone is specified by 11 integers, as follows:
•NumOfFreqs = 100 + the number of frequencies in the tone. (Therefore, NumOfFreqs = 101 for one
frequency, and 102 for two frequencies.)
•Tfreq1 and Tfreq2 are the transformed frequencies of the first and second frequencies, respectively.
Their values are calculated with the following formula:
32767 * cos (2*pi*F/8000)
where F is the desired frequency in Hz. Set this value to 0 if the frequency does not exist.
The range of each value is –32768 to 32767.
For negative values, use the 16-bit 2’s complement value. For example, enter –1 as 65535 or as

•NumOfOnOffPairs is the number of on-off pairs in the cadence of the tone.
Valid values are 0, 1 and 2. Use 0 if the tone is steady.
•OnTime1 and OnTime2 values are the lengths of time the tone is played for the first and second

For example, a 400 Hz frequency plays four times for 0.75 second followed by 0.1 second of silence
after each play and then plays one time for 0.75 second followed by 0.4 second of silence. This
pattern can be set to repeat until another call event stops the pattern.
•Up to three frequencies played sequentially with a cadence of up to three on-off pairs
For example, the frequencies 900 Hz, 1400 Hz, and 1800 Hz play sequentially for 0.33 seconds each
with no silence after the first and second frequencies but one second of silence after the third
frequency.
The syntax of the ReorderTone parameter is specified by 17 integers, as follows:
•Sequential specifies whether multiple frequencies in a tone play simultaneously (100) or
sequentially (101). Set to 100 for a tone with one frequency. If Sequential is 101, the number of
frequencies (NumOfFreqs) has to be the same value as the number of on-off pairs in a cadence
(NumOfOnOffPairs).
•NumOfFreqs is the number of frequencies in the tone (1, 2, or 3). The frequencies can play
simultaneously or sequentially, depending on the Sequential setting.

frequencies, respectively. Calculate each value with the following formula::
32767 * cos (2 * pi * F/8000)
where F is the desired frequency in Hz. Set this value to 0 if the frequency does not exist.
The range of each value is –32768 to 32767.

respectively. Their values are calculated with the following formula:
32767 * A * sin(2*pi*F/8000)
A (amplitude factor) = 0.5 * 10^((k+10-(n-1)*3)/20)
where F is the desired frequency in Hz, k is the desired volume in dBm, and n is the number of

steady tone, use 0.
If this value is 0, the OnTime1, OnTime2, OnTime 3, OffTime1, OffTime2, and OffTime3 values must
also be 0.
•OnTime1, OnTime2, and OnTime3 are the lengths of time that the first, second, and third on-off pairs
of a cadence play a sound, respectively. (See
Figure 5-2 for a graphical representation.)
Specify each value as a number of samples with the sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value
is 0 to 0xffff.
For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set a value to 2400.
•OffTime1, OffTime2, and OffTime3 are the lengths of silence after the sound of the first, second, and
third on-off pairs of a cadence, respectively.
Specify each value as a number of samples with the sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value
is 0 to 0xffff.
For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set a value to 2400. (See Figure 5-2 for a graphical
representation.)

•NumOfRepeats is the number of times that the first on-off pair of the cadence (specified by OnTime1,
OffTime1) repeats before the second on-off pair (specified by OnTime2, OffTime2) plays.
For example, if NumOfRepeats is 2, the first on-off pair will play three times (it will play once and
then repeat two times), then the second on-off pair will play.
•TotalToneTime is the total length of time that the tone plays. If this value is 0, the tone will play until
another call event stops the tone.
This value is in 10 ms units (100 ms = 1 second).
