Your New ATA

Your analog telephone adapter (ATA) allows you to connect an analog device, such as an analog phone or
fax machine, to your network. The connected device can then function like the IP phones in your network.

Your new analog telephone adapter (ATA) has two interfaces:

•

•

Two RJ11 ports for analog devices

A RJ45 port for Ethernet

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the ATA provide status.

Install your ATA with the components that are included in the box.

◦ You use the phone’s flash button for hold, resume, transfer, and conference.

Analog telephony voice devices

•

The ATA supports analog telephony voice devices, such as overhead paging adapters and answering

◦

machines, that emulate a regular phone.

Overhead paging systems

•

Overhead paging systems provide alarms and public-address announcements in buildings.

◦

Fax machines

•

◦ Use a fax machine directly with an ATA. Don’t connect an extension to a fax machine, and don’t

use the fax machine with a splitter.

To reduce fax failures, use overseas mode, if available; if not, set the fax machine transmission

◦

speed to low.

Data devices, such as facsimile machines and modems, may not function optimally. For the best

◦

fax and modem performance, continue to use a dedicated PSTN line.

Cisco ATA 191 and ATA 192 Hardware

The ATA 191 and ATA 192 are compact, easy to install devices.

The unit provides these connectors:

5V DC power connector.

•

• Two RJ-11 FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) ports—The ATA 191 and ATA 192 have two RJ-11 phone

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

• The ATA 191 and ATA 192 both have one WAN network port—An RJ-45 10/100BASE-T data port

to connect an Ethernet-capable device to the network.

The ATA 192 includes an extra LAN Ethernet port—An RJ-45 10/100BASE-T data port to connect to
a device on your network, such as a computer, using an Ethernet cable.

Note

The ATA network port performs autonegotiation for duplex and speed. It supports speeds of 10/100 Mbps
and full-duplex.
