THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT
SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE
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, or 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.

Session Initiation Protocol Overview

Session Initiation Protocol 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

on management within a packet telephony network. Signaling allows call information to be carried

sessi
across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an
end-to-end call.

Note SIP for the ATA 190 is compliant with RFC2543.

This section contains these topics:

• SIP Capabilities, page 1-2

• Components of SIP, page 1-2

Chapter 1 Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adapter Overview

SIP Capabilities

SIP provides these capabilities:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

call redirection.

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

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.

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 these 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

r the other per transaction. Whether the endpoint functions as a UAC or a UAS depends on the UA that

o
initiated the request.

Session Initiation Protocol Overview

From an architectural standpoint, t

he physical components of a SIP network can also be grouped into

two categories—Clients and servers. Figure 1-2 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.

Figure 1-2 SIP Architecture

SIP Clients

SIP Servers

OL-31821-01

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.

• Phones—Can act as either a UAS or UAC. The ATA 190 can initiate SIP requests and respond to

requests.

SIP servers include:

1-3

Hardware Overview

• 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.

• 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.

Hardware Overview

The ATA 190 is a compact, easy to install device. Figure 1-3 shows the rear panel of the ATA 190.

Chapter 1 Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adapter Overview

Figure 1-3 ATA 190—Rear View

390906

The unit provides these connectors and indicators:

• 5V power connector.

• Two RJ-11 FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) ports—The ATA 190 supports two independent RJ-11

phone ports that can connect to any standard analog phone device. Each port supports either voice
calls or fax sessions, and both ports can be used simultaneously.

• The ATA 190 has one network port—an RJ-45 10/100BASE-T data port to connect an

Ethernet-capable device, such as a computer, to the network.

Note The ATA 190 performs auto-negotiation for duplexity and speed and is capable of 10/100 Mbps,

full-duplex operation.

Software Features

The ATA 190 supports these protocols, services and methods:

• Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol, page 1-5

• Name Signaling Event based passthrough, page 1-5

• Transport Layer Security Protocol, page 1-5

• T.38 Fax Relay, page 1-5

Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol

SRTP (Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol) secures voice conversations on the network and provides
protection against replay attacks.

Note Currently ATA190 does not support secure conference call. A 2-way secure call is supported.

Software Features

Name Signaling Event based passthrough

Name Signaling Event (NSE)-based passthrough is simply the transport of fax or modem
communications using the G.711 codec.

The ATA 190 does not support NSE-based modem passthrough.

Transport Layer Security Protocol

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that secures data communications such as
e-mail on the Internet. TLS is functionally equivalent to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

T.38 Fax Relay

The T.38 fax relay feature enables devices to use fax machines to send files over the IP network. In
general, when a fax is received, it is converted to an image, sent to the T.38 fax device, and converted
back to an analog fax signal. T.38 fax relays configured with voice gateways decode or demodulate the
fax signals before they are transported over IP. With the SIP call control protocol, the T.38 fax relay is
indicated by Security Description (SDP) entries in the initial SIP INVITE message. After the initial SIP
INVITE message, the call is established to switch from voice mode to T.38 mode. Cisco Unified
Communications Administration allows you to configure a SIP profile that supports T.38 fax
communication.

Voice Codecs Supported

The ATA 190 supports these voice codecs (check your other network devices for the codecs they
support):

Modem Standards

The ATA 190 supports the following modem standards:

• V. 9 0

• V. 9 2

• V. 4 4

• K56Flex

• ITU-T V.34 Annex 12

• ITU-T V.34

• V.32bis

Software Features

Fax Services

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

• V. 3 2

• V. 2 1

• V. 2 2

• V. 2 3

The ATA 190 supports two modes of fax services, in which fax signals are transmitted using the G.711
codec:

• Fax pass-through mode—Receiver-side Called Station Identification (CED) tone detection with

automatic G.711A-law or G.711µ-law switching.

• T.38 Fax Relay mode: The T.38 fax relay feature enables devices to use fax machines to send files

over the IP network. In general, when a fax is received, it is converted to an image, sent to the T.38
fax device, and converted back to an analog fax signal. T.38 fax relays configured with voice
gateways decode or demodulate the fax signals before they are transported over IP.

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

Methods Supported

The ATA 190 supports these methods. For more information, see RFC3261 (SIP: Session Initiation
Protocol).

Preparing to Install the ATA 190 on Your Network

The ATA 190 enables you to communicate using voice over a data network. To provide this capability,
the ATA 190 depends upon and interacts with several other key Cisco Unified IP Telephony and network

onents, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager, DNS and DHCP s

comp
servers, media resources, and so on.

This chapter focuses on the interactions be
DNS and DHCP servers, TFTP servers, and switches. It also describes options for powering the
ATA 190.

Understanding How the ATA 190 Interacts with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager

Cisco Unified Communications Manager is an open and industry-standard call processing system.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager software sets up and tears down calls between phones

nected to the ATA 190, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network.

con
Cisco Unified Communications Manager manages the component
phones, the access gateways, and the resources necessary for features such as call conferencing and route
planning. Cisco Unified Communications Manager also provides:

• Firmware for devices

• Authentication and encryption (if configured for the telephony system)

• Configuration and CTL files via the TFTP service

• Phone registration

• Call preservation, so that a media session continues if signaling is lost between the primary

Communications Manager and a phone

Providing Power to the ATA 190

The ATA 190 is powered with external power. External power is provided through a separate power
supply.

The following sections provide more information about powering a ATA 190:

• Power Guidelines, page 2-2

• Power Outage, page 2-2

• Understanding Phone Configuration Files, page 2-3

Power Guidelines

The following power type and guideline applies to external power for the ATA 190:

• Power Type—External power (Provided through the Universal AC external power supply.)

• Guidelines—The ATA 190 uses the Universal AC power supply 110/240V

Power Outage

Your accessibility to emergency service through the phone is dependent on the phone being powered. If
there is an interruption in the power supply, Service and Emergency Calling Service dialing will not
function until power is restored. In the case of a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or
reconfigure equipment before using the Service or Emergency Calling Service dialing.

For more information about how the phone interacts with the TFTP server, see the Cisco Unified

Communications Manager System Guide, Cisco TFTP section.

Understanding the ATA 190 Startup Process

When connecting to the VoIP network, the ATA 190 goes through a standard startup process, as described
in Table 2-1. Depending on your specific network configuratio
on your ATA 190.

Ta b l e 2-1 ATA 190 Startup Process

Task Purpose Related Topics

1. Obtaining Power.

The ATA 190 uses external power.

2. Loading the Stored Image.

The ATA 190 has non-volatile flash memory in which it

tores firmware images and user-defined preferences. At

s
startup, the phone runs a bootstrap loader that loads a
phone image stored in flash memory. Using this image, the
phone initializes its software and hardware.

3. Obtaining an IP Address.

See Providing Power to the ATA 190, page 2-2.

n, not all of these process steps may occur

If the ATA 190 is using DHCP to obtain an IP address, the

vice queries the DHCP server to obtain one. If you are

de
not using DHCP in your network, you must assign static IP
addresses to each device locally.

4. Requesting the CTL file.

The TFTP server stores the CTL file. This file contains the

ificates necessary for establishing a secure connection

Resolving Startup Problems

CHAPTER

D

After installing an ATA 190 into your network and adding it to Cisco Unified Communications Manager,
the phone should start up as described in the Installing the ATA 190, page 3-2. If the phone does not start
up properly, see the following sections for troubleshooting information:

• Symptom: The ATA 190 Does Not Go Through its Normal Startup Process, page D-1

• Symptom: The ATA 190 Does Not Register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page D-2

• Symptom: ATA 190 Unable to Obtain IP Address, page D-4

Symptom: The ATA 190 Does Not Go Through its Normal Startup Process

When you connect a phone in the network port, the phone should go through its normal startup process
as described in the Verifying the ATA 190 Startup Process, page 3-3. If the phone does not go through
the startup process, the cause may be faulty cables, bad co
and so on. Or, the phone may not be functional.

To determine whether the phone is functional, follow t
other potential problems:

1. Verify that the network port is functional:

–

Exchange the Ethernet cables with cables that you know are functional.

Chapter D Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Resolving Startup Problems

–

Disconnect a functioning phone from another port and connect it to this network port to verify
the port is active.

–

Connect the phone that will not start up to a different network port that is known to be good.

–

Connect the phone that will not start up directly to the port on the switch, eliminating the patch
panel connection in the office.

2. Verify that the phone is receiving power:

–

If you are using external power, verify that the electrical outlet is functional.

–

If you are using the external power supply, switch with a unit that you know to be functional.

3. If the phone still does not start up properly, perform a factory reset of the phone.

Symptom: The ATA 190 Does Not Register with Cisco Unified Communications

Cisco Unified Communications Manager and TFTP Services Are Not Running

If the Cisco Unified Communications Manager or TFTP services are not running, phones may not be
able to start up properly. However, in such a situation, it is likely that you are experiencing a system-wide
failure, and that other phones and devices are unable to start up properly.

Resolving Startup Problems

If the Cisco Unified Communications Manager service is not running, all devices on the network that

ATA 190 Resets Unexpectedly

Verifying Physical Connection

Verify that the Ethernet connection to which the ATA 190 is connected is up. For example, check whether
the particular port or switch to which the phone is connected is down and that the switch is not rebooting.
Also make sure that there are no cable breaks.

Identifying Intermittent Network Outages

Intermittent network outages affect data and voice traffic differently. Your network might have been
experiencing intermittent outages without detection. If so, data traffic can resend lost packets and verify
that packets are received and transmitted. However, voice traffic cannot recapture lost packets. Rather
than retransmitting a lost network connection, the phone resets and attempts to reconnect its network
connection.

If you are experiencing problems with the voice network, you should investigate whether an existing

blem is simply being exposed.

Verifying DHCP Settings

Follow this process to help determine if the phone has been properly configured to use DHCP:

Procedure

OL-31821-01

Step 1 Verify that you have properly configured the phone to use DHCP. See Configuring Startup Network

Settings, page 3-3 for more information.

Step 2 Verify that the DHCP server has been set up properly.

Step 3 Verify the DHCP lease duration. Cisco recommends that you set it to 8 days.

Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administration Guide for SIP (Version 1.0)

D-5

ATA 190 Resets Unexpectedly

The ATA 190 sends messages with request type 151 to renew the DHCP address leases. If the DHCP
server expects messages with request type 150, the lease will be denied, forcing the ATA 190 to restart
and request a new IP address from the DHCP server.

Checking Static IP Address Settings

If the phone has been assigned a static IP address, verify that you have entered the correct settings. See

Understanding Phone Configuration Files, page 2-3 for more information.

Verifying Voice VLAN Configuration

If the ATA 190 appears to reset during heavy network usage (for example, following extensive web
surfing on a computer connected to same switch as phone), it is likely that you do not have a voice VLAN
configured.

Eliminating DNS or Other Connectivity Errors

If the phone continues to reset, follow these steps to eliminate DNS or other connectivity errors:

Procedure

Step 1 Use the IVR to reset phone settings to their default values. See Accessing the IVR and Configuring Your

Phone Setting, page B-1 for details.

Step 2 Modify DHCP and IP settings:

a. Disable DHCP.

b. Assign static IP values to the phone. See Understanding Phone Configuration Files, page 2-3 for

c. Assign TFTP server. Use the same TFTP server used for other functioning ATA 190.

Step 3 On the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, verify that the local host files have the correct

Cisco Unified Communications Manager server name mapped to the correct IP address.

Step 4 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose System > Server and verify that the server is

referred to by its IP address and not by its DNS name.

using G.729, calls between a phone and a mobile phone will have
poor voice quality. Use G.729 only when absolutely necessary.

A prolonged Layer 2 broadcast storm (lasting several minutes) on
the voice VLAN may cause phones to reset, lose an active call, or
be unable to initiate or answer a call. Phones may not come up until

Chapter D Troubleshooting and Maintenance

If you are powering your phone through the network connection,
you must be careful if you decide to unplug the phone’s network
connection and plug the cable into a desktop computer.

Caution The computer’s network card cannot receive power

through the network connection; if power comes through
the connection, the network card can be destroyed. To
protect a network card, wait 10 seconds or longer after
unplugging the cable from the phone before plugging it
into a computer. This delay gives the switch enough time
to recognize that there is no longer a phone on the line
and to stop providing power to the cable.
