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.

You'll perform these tasks:

• Install your ATA with the components in the box.

Cisco ATA 191 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—Your ATA has two RJ-11 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.

• One WAN network port—An RJ-45 10/100BASE-T data port to connect an Ethernet-capable device to

the network.

Get Started with Your New ATA

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

and full-duplex.

Note

ATA 191 Top Panel

The top panel of your ATA has several LEDs that are used to show the device's status.

Figure 1: ATA 191 Top Panel

The following table describes the LEDs located on your ATA.

Devices Associated with Your ATA

Use your ATA to connect these types of devices to your network:

• Analog phones

• Analog phones have no softkeys.

• The information that analog phones display depends on the model you have.

• 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.

Install Your New ATA

Your ATA comes with everything to power it up, connect it to the network, and set it up on your desk.

Before you begin

Before you begin the installation, make sure you have the following equipment:

• Ethernet cable to connect to your network.

• Analog phone or fax machine to connect to your ATA.

• Phone cable to connect your phone.

• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to provide backup power.

Procedure

Step 1 Connect the network cable to your network and to the NETWORK port on the ATA.

Devices Associated with Your ATA

Step 2 Connect the phone cable to the PHONE 1 port on the ATA and to your analog device (phone or fax machine).

If connecting a fax machine, connect it directly to the ATA. Do not connect an extension to a fax machine,

and do not use a splitter.

Step 3 (Optional) If you have a second analog device, connect the phone cable to the PHONE 2 port on the ATA

and to your second analog device.

Step 4 Connect the ATA power cable to the DC 5V POWER port on the ATA, and plug the power cable into your

power source.

Mount Your ATA

You can place the ATA on a desktop or mount it on a wall.

To prevent the ATA from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of

104°F (40°C).

Caution

Desktop Placement

Place the ATA on a flat surface near an electrical outlet.

Do not place anything on top of the ATA; excessive weight could damage it.

Warning

Wall Mounting

The ATA has two wall-mounted slots on the bottom panel. To mount the ATA on a wall, you need mounting

hardware (not included). Suggested hardware is illustrated (not true to scale).

Recommended hardware (not included): Two #6 pan head, 5/8 in., self-tapping screws with anchors for

sheet rock installation.

Get Started with Your New ATA

Mount Your ATA

Insecure mounting might damage the ATA or cause injury. Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred

byinsecure wall-mounting.

Note

Procedure

Step 1 Determine where you want to mount the unit. Verify that the surface is smooth, flat and dry.

Step 2 Drill two pilot holes into the surface 58 mm apart (about 2.28 in.).

Step 3 Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap of 5 mm (0.1968 in.) between the underside of each screw head

and the surface of the wall.

Step 4 Place the unit wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the unit down until the screws fit snugly into the

wall-mount slots.

Supported ATA Call Features

Depending on your system configuration, your ATA supports some or all the following call features:
