ATA190-RF

Description

The ATA190-RF is an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) designed to bridge the gap between traditional analog devices and modern IP telephony networks. This specific model is a Remanufactured version of the Cisco ATA 190, providing a cost-effective way to integrate analog phones, fax machines, and overhead paging systems into a Cisco Unified Communications environment.

Core Technical Specifications

• Ports: Two independent RJ-11 FXS ports to support two analog devices.

• Network Interface: One 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet port for connection to the LAN.

• Protocol Support: Operates on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for signaling.

• Audio Codecs: Supports G.711 (a-law and u-law) and G.729a for efficient voice compression.

• Fax Support: Compatible with T.38 fax relay to ensure reliable fax transmission over IP.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Voice Clarity: Includes Echo Cancellation (G.168) and Voice Activity Detection (VAD) to maintain high-quality audio.

• Flexible Configuration: We can configure settings via a web-based interface or through Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM).

• Security: Features password-protected configuration and secure software downloads.

• Compact Design: Small footprint makes it easy to deploy on a desk or mount in a small wiring closet.

Use Cases for Network Integration

• Legacy Hardware Support: Allows us to keep using existing analog desk phones or cordless phones while migrating to a VoIP system.

• Fax Integration: Connects traditional fax machines to the digital network without needing dedicated analog phone lines.

• Paging Systems: Frequently used to connect analog overhead paging or “loudspeaker” systems to the IP PBX.
