Cisco (ATA)

CISCO [ATA 186]


	Gateways are required to make phone calls over the Internet. They are used to connect the traditional phone system with the Internet. As shown in the illustration below, on one side a physical phone line connects a gateway to the phone system where it can communicate with any telephone in the world. On the other side, the gateway is physically connected to the Internet where it communicates with any computer in the world. For example, if a person wants to make a phone call using their computer, they dial someone´s phone number. The gateway picks up that call and sends it over the Internet. On the other end, another person answers his or her phone. Both people can talk and would never know the call is going through the gateway.

	The telephone line is connected to the internet then the Gateway coverts that connection into regular calls and sends it to a land or mobile Phone.

Make a Phone to Phone VoIP Call Using The CallingPlaces VOIP System.
Any regular analog telephone (even a cordless phone) can be connected to the CISCO ATA 186. It has two analog telephone ports for up to two separate phone numbers. It can be shipped pre-configured by CallingPlaces.

Connecting the CISCO ATA to your network is simple. All you need is a high quality broadband connection and an extra Ethernet port on your hub or switch.
Once the CISCO ATA is connected to the internet it automatically finds the CallingPlaces servers and registers itself so that calls can be made and received.
In this scenario, the CISCO ATA 186 is the originating gateway that converts your voice signals to VoIP packets, which will travel over the internet.

The terminating gateway converts the VoIP packets back to voice signals and connects to our Tier One TDMA routes to make the call to any telephone in the world.
By using the internet as our network and connecting to Tier One carriers, we are able to operate as a high quality, least cost provider and compete with the traditional TELCO's and pass on the savings to you

Configuring for the first time use of ATA-186 through the IVR

Configuring the ATA-186 through the IVR, perform the following steps.

1. Connect an analog touch-tone phone to the port labeled "PHONE 1" at the back of the ATA186.

2. Pick up the handset from the phone, and press the clear function button on top of the ATA 186. You will hear the initial IVR prompt.

Note: The IVR cannot be used or heard unless your phone is connected to the second port of the ATA labeled "PHONE 2".

3. You will be prompted to enter a menu number followed by the # key. Key in the menu number using the touch-tone pad. The following table lists the menu options that you will need, in order to configure basic IP connectivity to the ATA.

IVR Menu Number	Feature
1	IP Address (StaticIP)
2	Default Gateway (StaticRoute)
10	Subnet Mask (StaticNetMask)
20 (0 = Disable, 1 = Enable)	DHCP (Dhcp)
80	Check IP Address

Note: If you set DHCP to 1 the ATA-186 will automatically detect the Static IP, Statice Route, StaticNetMask.

Note: Press the * key to indicate a delimiter (dot). For example, 192*168*3*1 would be used to enter an IP address via the touchpad.

Note: When entering values for a field that is in hexadecimal, you must convert it to a decimal value in order to enter it into the IVR system. For example to enter the hex value 0x6A, you would key in the number 106 in the IVR.

4. Press the # key after you have entered the value. If you do not press #, the system will automatically timeout after 10 seconds. You will hear a recording of the value you entered, followed by a request to press one of the following keys:

1— Change your entered value.
2— Review your entered value.
3— Save your entered value.
4— Review the current saved value.
