    By using a TFTP server—This is the Cisco-recommended method for deploying a large number of • Cisco ATAs. This method allows you to set up a unique Cisco ATA configuration file or a configuration file that is common to all Cisco ATAs. The Cisco ATA can automatically download its latest configuration file from the TFTP server when the Cisco ATA powers up, is refreshed or reset, or when the specified TFTP query interval expires.

    VLAN and adds 802.1Q VLAN tags to its IP packets. If the Cisco ATA does not receive a response with a VLAN ID from the network switch, then the Cisco ATA assumes it is not operating in a VLAN environment and does not perform VLAN tagging on its packets.

  • Page 37: Specifying A Preconfigured Vlan Id Or Disabling Vlan Ip Encapsulation

    The Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server and downloads the Cisco ATA release software that contains the correct signaling image for the Cisco ATA to function properly. If you are not using a TFTP server, you need to manually upgrade the Cisco ATA to the correct Note signaling image.
  • Page 38 Example The following procedure shows you how to configure the OpFlags and VLANSetting parameters to allow the Cisco ATA to use a user-specified VLAN ID.

  • Page 41: Configuring The Cisco Ata Using A Tftp Server

    Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server The TFTP method of configuration is useful when you have many Cisco ATA because you can use a TFTP server for remote, batch configuration of Cisco ATAs. A TFTP server can host one unique configuration file for each Cisco ATA.

  • Page 42: Creating Unique And Common Cisco Ata Configuration Files

    One file that will contain only parameter values unique to a specific Cisco ATA. • One file for parameters that will be configured with values common to a group of Cisco ATAs. If • this file is updated, all Cisco ATA devices in this common group can obtain the new configuration data in a batch-mode environment.
  • Page 43 Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server The settings in this example indicate that a group of Cisco ATAs is using the TFTP server with an IP address of 10.10.10.1 to obtain their configuration files. These Cisco ATAs will use a DHCP server to obtain their own IP addresses but not to obtain the TFTP server IP address (because the TftpURL parameter has a configured value).

    Cisco ATA MAC address. This is the name you use for the unique Cisco ATA binary configuration file. The following command and output show an example of this command.

  • Page 45: Using The Encryptkey Parameter And Cfgfmt Tool

    -tpTagFile If the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter has the value of 0 or is not included in input-text-file, the Secret is used to encrypt the output-binary-file. If input-text-file sets the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter to a nonzero value and the -e option is used, then output-binary-file is encrypted with the EncryptKey parameter set in input-text-file and Secret is ignored.

  • Page 46: Atadefault.cfg Configuration File

    The following procedure illustrates how to create the Cisco ATA default configuration file, convert it to the required binary format that the Cisco ATA can read, and store it on the TFTP server so that the Cisco ATA will download it during the boot-up process: Procedure Make a copy of the example_uprofile.txt file and rename it atadefault.txt.

    Standard DHCP option 66 (TFTP server name) If you use DHCP option 150, the Cisco ATA will ignore DHCP option 66. However, if you use DHCP option 66, you must turn off DHCP option 150 or set its value to 0.
  • Page 48 Procedure if DHCP Server is not Under Control of Cisco ATA Administrator This is the procedure to use if the DHCP server is not under the control of the Cisco ATA administrator, which means that the URL of the TFTP server must be manually configured.

  • Page 49: Voice Configuration Menu

    The main reasons to use the voice configuration menu are to establish IP connectivity for the Cisco ATA if a DHCP server is not being used in your network environment, and to reset the Cisco ATA to its factory values if necessary. You can also use the voice configuration menu if you need to configure a small number of parameters or if the web interface and TFTP configuration are not available.

  • Page 50: Using The Voice Configuration Menu

    Connect an analog touch-tone phone to the port labeled Phone 1 on the back of the Cisco ATA. Step 1 Lift the handset and press the function button located on the top of the Cisco ATA. You should receive Step 2 the initial voice configuration menu voice prompt.

    Step 5 automatically timeout after 10 seconds. Cisco strongly recommends that you set a password. Use the voice menu code 7387277 (SETPASS) to Step 6 configure a password through the voice configuration menu, after which you are prompted for the password whenever you attempt to change a parameter value.

  • Page 55: Refreshing Or Resetting The Cisco Ata

    Whenever you make configuration changes to your Cisco ATA configuration file, you can refresh or reset the Cisco ATA for these configuration changes to immediately take effect. If you do not refresh or reset the Cisco ATA, the configuration changes will take effect the next time the Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server, which occurs based on the configured value of the CfgInterval parameter.

    When the value specified in the CfgInterval parameter is reached, the Cisco ATA attempts to refresh its configuration file from the TFTP server. By opening a web page for the Cisco ATA, you can perform a refresh before the scheduled refresh.

    Comfort Noise During Silence Period When Using G.711 When silence suppression is turned on in ITU G.711, the Cisco ATA calculates and transmits its noise level to the far end to enable the remote endpoint to generate the appropriate amount of comfort noise.

  • Page 62: Dial Plan

    The Cisco ATA supports DNS SRV lookup for the SIP proxy server. If the GkOrProxy parameter value begins with _sip._udp. or sip.udp., the Cisco ATA performs a DNS SRV lookup for the SIP proxy server. A DNS SRV lookup results in one of the following conditions: Zero host is returned or DNS SRV lookup failed.

  • Page 63: Hardware Information Display

    NAT must support multiple port mappings. The Cisco ATA can use up to four media ports to handle conference calls on both lines. For example, if media base port 16384 is used for one call, the next call uses port 16386 and other calls will use ports 16388 and 16390.

  • Page 64: Network Timing

    If the backup proxy fails, the Cisco ATA automatically switches back to the primary proxy if the unit has been using the backup proxy for at least 30 seconds. This effectively prevents the Cisco ATA from switching indefinitely between failing primary and failing backup proxies for the same transactions.

  • Page 65: Receiver-Tagged Via Header

    5-28—Bit 22 Repeat Dialing on Busy Signal This feature allows the Cisco ATA to repeatedly call a busy number at a periodic interval for a specific length of time. Both the interval and total time can be specified by the user.

    DNS. DNS results are hard-coded in cache memory for 10 minutes. If DNS returns multiple IP addresses, the Cisco ATA uses only the first IP address. If AltGk is set to 0 (disabled) and DNS returns two or more IP addresses for GkOrProxy, then the Cisco ATA uses the first IP address as the primary proxy and the second IP address as the secondary proxy.

  • Page 67: Setting Up And Placing A Call Without Using A Sip Proxy

    Setting Up and Placing a Call Without Using a SIP Proxy The Cisco ATA supports direct IP-to-IP calls without using a SIP proxy. When a call is placed, the Cisco ATA sends the INVITE request directly to the remote user agent and exepcts the usual 100/180/200 responses from the user agent.
