CISCO ATA 191 Analog Telephone Adapter User Guide
Welcome
The Cisco ATA 191 is an analogue terminal adapter that connects your analogue phone to a digital or VoIP network. This guide shows you how to set it up. Don’t worry, it’ll only take a minute or two.
What’s in the box?
Make sure you’ve got everything. You should have:
- Cisco ATA 191
- Ethernet cable
- Mains power adapter
- Phone socket adapter
Connecting the cables
- Connect the internet port on the back of the box to your network port using the Ethernet cable.
- Connect the power cable to the box and then plug it into the mains (the Cisco ATA 191 does not support Power over Ethernet).
- Plug your analogue phone into the Phone 1 socket using either the phone socket adapter or directly, if your phone has an RJ11 phone cable.
Setting up
Once you’ve connected it to the network and plugged it in, it’ll do a series
of updates. This may take a while so please be patient while it does what it
needs to do. When the Cisco ATA 191 has finished updating and it’s ready for
action, the Phone 1 indicator light will turn green. If this doesn’t happen,
please call your service desk. You can now start making calls through your
Cisco ATA 191.

Need Help?
If you have any problems setting up or using your Cisco ATA 191, call your service desk on 0800 389 0537 for help.
Things you need to know
Important 999 or 112 emergency calls
Your Cloud Voice number is registered to a specific address, so when you make
a 999 or 112 call from your phone number, that’s the address the emergency
services will see.
If you use Cloud Voice at a different address, the registered address won’t
automatically change. So if your work location changes, please let your
administrator know so they can update your registered address.
You might not be able to make 999 or 112 calls if there’s a power or network
failure, or you’re using the service from an app or mobile phone.
Safety information
Do not open the Cisco ATA 191. This could expose you to high voltages or other
risks. If your phone needs to be repaired, call us on 0800 389 0537 and we’ll
be able to help.
Cleaning
Clean the Cisco ATA 191 with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe.
