Your New ATA

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:

standard analog phone device. Each port supports either voice calls or fax sessions, and both ports can
be used simultaneously.
