The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, users are encouraged to try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

CHAPTER 1: Your ATA

Your new ATA

Your ATA allows you to connect an analog device, such as a telephone or fax machine, to the network. The connected device can function like an IP phone on the network.

Your new ATA has two interfaces:

  • Two RJ11 ports for analog devices
  • An RJ45 port for Ethernet

The LEDs on the ATA indicate the status.

Install your ATA using the components that are included in the box.

You must complete the following tasks:

  • Install your ATA with the components that it came with.

Devices for your ATA

The ATA allows you to connect the following types of devices to the network:

 Analog Telephones
 Analog phones do not have softkeys.
 The information displayed on the analog phone depends on the model.
 Use the flashing button on the phone for hold, resume, transfer and conference.

  • Analog telephony audio devices
    The ATA supports analog telephony audio devices, such as pager adapters and answering machines, that emulate a regular telephone.

  • Pager systems
    These systems are intended for alarms and public announcements in buildings.

  • Fax machines
    You can use a fax machine directly with an ATA. Do not connect an extension or splitter to a fax machine.
    To reduce fax errors, set the fax machine transmission speed to slow.
    Data devices, such as fax machines and modems, may not function optimally.
    For the best fax and modem performance, continue to use a dedicated landline.

Cisco ATA 191 und ATA 192 – Hardware

ATA 191 and ATA 192 are compact, easy to install devices. The device has these connections:

  • 5 volt DC power connector.

  • Two RJ-11 FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) ports – The ATA has two RJ-11 ports that function like any standard analog telephone device. Each port supports either voice or
    fax transmission, and both ports can also be used simultaneously.

  • One WAN network port – One 10/100BASE-T RJ-45 data port for connecting an Ethernet-enabled device to the network.

The ATA 192 has an additional LAN Ethernet port – a 10/100BASE-T RJ-45 data port for connecting a device, e.g. B. a computer, with an Ethernet cable to the network.

Notice

The ATA network port auto-negotiates for duplex and speed. It supports speeds of 10/100 Mbit/s and full duplex.

Settings for call forwarding

You can transfer calls from any line on your phone to another phone number.
However, call forwarding is phone line specific. When a call comes in on a line that doesn’t have call forwarding enabled, the call rings as usual.
There are two methods available for transferring calls:

  • Forward all calls
  • Forward calls when, for example, the number is busy or the call is unanswered becomes.

Call forwarding is set up on the Voice tab of the Configuration Utility page. Use the information in the table below as a guide. After entering your settings, click Save to keep your changes.

Selective Call Forward Settings

When a call is transferred, you will hear a short ring before the call is transferred to the new number.
The following table describes the call forwarding settings that you can configure on the Voice tab of the Configuration Utility page.

Selective Call Forward Settings call forwarding

You can create a list of up to 8 phone numbers that will be forwarded with every call. When someone calls from one of these numbers, you will hear a ringtone and the call will be transferred to the new number.

When you enter the Call Forward Selective call preference, you can enter “?” Use to match a single digit, or “*” to match a range of digits. For example:

  • 1408* – a call will be forwarded to the appropriate destination if the phone number begins with 1408.

CHAPTER 5: Product safety

Safety and performance information

Power failure

The availability of the emergency services on the phone is only guaranteed when the phone is powered. In the event of a power failure, emergency numbers cannot be dialed until power is restored. In the event of a power interruption or loss of power, you may need to reset or reconfigure the device to dial emergency numbers.

External devices

We recommend using high quality external devices that are shielded from unwanted RF (radio frequency) and AF (audio frequency) signals. Examples of external devices are headsets, cables and connectors.

Depending on the quality of these devices and their distance from other devices such as mobile phones or two-way radios, a small amount of noise can still occur. In these cases, we recommend one or more of the following measures:

  • Increase the distance between the external device and the RF or AF signal source.
  • Lay the connection cables of the external device as far as possible from the RF or AF signal source.
  • Use shielded cables or cables with high-quality shielding and high-quality connectors for the external device.
  • Shorten the connection cable of the external device.
  • Pass the cables of the external device through a ferrite core or similar device.

Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of external devices, cables, and connectors.

Caution

In EU countries, only use external speakers, microphones and headsets that comply with EU Directive 89/336/EEC.

Behavior of the phone in the event of network congestion

  • Administrative tasks, such as checking internal connections or security
  • Network attacks, such as a denial of service attack
