Your New ATA
Your analog telephone adapter (ATA) allows you to connect an analog device, such as an analog phone or
fax machine, to your network. The connected device can then function like the IP phones in your network.
Your new analog telephone adapter (ATA) has two interfaces:
• Two RJ11 ports for analog devices
• A RJ45 port for Ethernet
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the ATA provide status.
You'll perform these tasks:
• Install your ATA with the components in the box.
Cisco ATA 191 Hardware
The ATA 191 and ATA 192 are compact, easy to install devices.
The unit provides these connectors:
• 5V DC power connector.
• Two RJ-11 FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) ports—Your ATA has two RJ-11 ports that work with any
standard analog phone device. Each port supports either voice calls or fax sessions, and both ports can
be used simultaneously.
• One WAN network port—An RJ-45 10/100BASE-T data port to connect an Ethernet-capable device to
the network.
