Preparing to Install the ATA 190 on Your Network
The ATA 190 enables you to communicate using voice over a data network. To provide this capability,
the ATA 190 depends upon and interacts with several other key Cisco Unified
IP Telephony and network
components, including Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, DNS and DHCP servers, TFTP
servers, media resources, and so on.
This chapter focuses on the interactions between the ATA 190, Cisco Unified Communications Manager,
DNS and DHCP servers, TFTP servers, and switches. It also describes options for powering the
ATA
190.

Unified Communications
Manager system before sending and receiving calls.
