To function in the IP telephony network, the ATA 191 must be connected to a networking device, such as a Cisco Catalyst switch. You must also register the ATA 191 with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager system before you can send and receive calls.
Unified Communications Manager. When you make a change in Cisco Unified Communications Manager that requires the ATA 191 line to be reset, the phone configuration file is automatically updated. If a system reset or restart is required, both lines must reset or restart at the same time.
ATA 191 Startup Process If the device security mode in the configuration file is set to Authenticated and the CTL file on the ATA 191 has a valid certificate for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the phone establishes a TLS connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
(encrypted or authenticated), and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager is set to Mixed (security) mode, the device makes a TLS connection. Otherwise, it makes a nonsecure TCP/UDP connection. Cisco ATA 191 Analog Telephone Adapter Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager...
Start up Process with Standby Image Start up Process with Standby Image The ATA 191 has two images or partitions in permanent storage. The second image allows the device to recover if the initial image is corrupted. Press the PRT button when the power is on, and you switch to the standby partition. Startup is similar to the normal process, except that the LED for Phone 2 flashes amber indicating that the second partition is being used.
After you have collected MAC addresses, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Device > Phone and click Add New to begin. The ATA 191 has two FXS ports, and each port has its own MAC address. The first ATA 191 port uses Note the MAC address and the second ATA 191 port uses the shifted MAC address (example, AABBCCDDEEFF to BBCCDDEEFF01).
ATA 191 Installation Information You connect the ATA 191 hardware and configure the ATA 191 by loading the QED and firmware files. Install the QED file first, then install the firmware file. For more information about loading the QED and firmware files, see the "Installation Notes"...
(TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. For translated warnings, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ATA 191 document.
3 The LED for Phone 1 flashes while the Phone1 port boots, followed by the LED for Phone 2. After the Phone1 and Phone2 ports register with Cisco Unified CM successfully, the corresponding LEDs are lit with solid green. If a phone port fails to register, the LED rapidly flashes in green three times, then repeats.
For more information about the security features, see the Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You can start the installation of a Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) on the device profile from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Use the Device > Phone > Phone Configuration menu option. You can also use this menu option to update or remove an LSC.

Step 10 Click Apply Config. Resolve Startup Problems After installing an ATA 191 into your network and adding it to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the phone starts up. If the phone does not start up properly, see the following sections for troubleshooting information: •...
Ensure that the network is currently running. Verify TFTP Server Settings You can determine the IP address of the TFTP server used by the ATA 191 by entering http://x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the ATA 191. Procedure Step 1 If you have assigned a static IP address to the phone, manually enter a setting for the TFTP Server 1 option.
DNS server. Verify this setting by entering http://x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the ATA 191. Step 2 Verify that there is an A entry in the DNS server for the TFTP server and for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system. Step 3 Ensure that DNS is configured to do reverse look-ups.
Attach a Phone to the ATA 191, on page 23 Search for the ATA in Cisco Unified Communications Manager An ATA can register with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server only if it has been added to the server or if autoregistration is enabled.
Step 3 Choose Phone > Find What to Do Next If the phone is already in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, its configuration file may be damaged. Related Topics Attach a Phone to the ATA 191, on page 23...
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. The ATA sends the DHCP request message to update the IP Address at half of the lease time. If no response is received from the server, the ATA starts the DHCP Discover process to get the new IP address.
Assign the TFTP server. Use the same TFTP server used for other functioning ATA units. 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.
Determine the MAC Address of the ATA, on page 20 Troubleshoot ATA 191 Security The following table provides troubleshooting information for the security features on the ATA 191.
