Understanding Voice Service Operations
The ATA allows calls to be made by using SIP-based Voice-over-IP (VoIP) services
and traditional telephone Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) services.
Calls can be placed and received by using an analog phone or fax machine.
The ATA maintains the state of each call and makes the proper reaction to user
input events (such as on/off hook or hook flash). Because the ATA uses the Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP), it is compatible with most Internet Telephony Service
Provider (ITSP) offerings.

The ATA can be custom provisioned within a wide range of configuration
parameters. The following sections describe the factors that contribute to voice
quality:
• Supported Codecs
• SIP Proxy Redundancy
