ATA Quick Start

Your ATA comes with a power cube and Ethernet cable. Some models also include other items, such as a phone cord, phone-jack adapter, phone filter, or service provider flyer.

To complete the installation, you need the following:

-A broadband Internet connection using a cable modem, ADSL, T1, E1, SDSL, or any other high-speed “always on” Internet connection.

-An account set up with a VoIP service provider. If you do not have an account set up, please look for a Read Me First! flyer in the box for your VoIP ATA and follow its instructions. If there is no flyer, go to your service provider’s Web site and sign up for service.

-A router that uses your broadband Internet connection. This can be an ADSL modem with a built-in router, a cable modem with a built-in router, or some other router connected to a broadband Internet connection. The router needs at least one available LAN port, and the router needs to be set up for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 or 10 Mbps. (Most routers use 10/100 unless you change them.)

-A telephone so you can place and receive phone calls.

Now you’re ready to connect the ATA to a telephone, a router, and a “live” power outlet. You will make your connections to the back of the ATA.

1Plug your telephone or cordless phone base station into the ATA’s PHONE jack, which is on the far left of the ATA’s back panel.

Note: In some countries outside the USA, you may need to use a phone-jack adapter. Plug the adapter into the ATA’s PHONE jack and then plug in your phone.

2Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the ATA’s Ethernet port and the other end into a LAN port of your router.

3If your unit has the word TELCO on the front panel of the unit, continue with step 4.

If your unit does not have the word TELCO on the front panel, continue with step 5.

4For ATA units with a TELCO jack: Plug one end of the supplied telephone cord into the ATA’s TELCO jack and the other end into your home or office’s telephone jack, one

where you would normally plug in a standard telephone. You may need to use a phone-jack adapter so the phone cord can fit into your wall jack. If you have ADSL service at that wall jack, you need to put an ADSL filter between that wall jack and the ATA’s TELCO jack. Now continue with step 5.

5Plug the ATA’s power cube into the ATA’s PWR jack and the other end into a “live” power strip or wall outlet.

6The ATA should go through a power-up and registration sequence, and some of the ATA lights should light up. This may take up to 3 minutes, and it should result in the READY light turning on. Once the READY light is on you’re ready to make phone calls. Congratulations! If the READY light does not turn on after 3 minutes, please make sure that you followed all the directions above.

Note: If your ATA is not working properly, it may be because your router is configured to enable IP filtering. Routers usually come with IP filtering disabled, but you or someone else may have enabled IP filtering. The easiest and best way to resolve this issue is to configure a DMZ for the one router port connected to the ATA. Your router’s documentation should show an easy way to configure this DMZ.

Making Phone Calls – The Basics

How you use the phone plugged into your ATA depends on the answer to this question: Does your ATA have a TELCO jack plugged into a phone jack with normal phone service?

-If it does not: When you dial, the digits you dial will normally be passed to your VoIP service provider. Please remember that even local calls need an area code.

-If it does: You can dial calls that first travel through the Internet, or you can dial calls that first travel through your normal telephone service by way of your TELCO jack. Your ATA can be set up by your service provider, for instance, to route all calls through the Internet unless those calls are local or emergency calls. You can also force a call to go one way or the other:

If you come off-hook and dial #8 then additional digits will be dialed into your normal telephone service.

If you come off-hook and dial #9 then additional digits will be dialed through the Internet.

If your ATA loses power, you can dial through your normal telephone service as if you had a phone plugged directly into a phone jack.

If the ATA loses power or loses its Internet connection, you cannot place calls through the Internet.

The commands above let you use a phone to directly control the ATA. Note that some VoIP service providers also let you control some of these features by using the setup screens for your account.

Note also that these features apply only to VoIP calls, not calls that travel through the traditional phone network by way of your TELCO jack. Features for the traditional phone network are normally available from your traditional phone company.

Resetting Your ATA

You can reset your ATA by pressing the RESET switch. You can do this by putting the end of a pin or paper clip into the small round RESET hole in the back panel of the ATA. If you press the RESET switch for 5 seconds or more, your ATA’s configuration settings will return to the last ones provided by your service provider. If you press the RESET switch for a much shorter time, the ATA will reset as if you had powered it off, then powered it on.
