ATA Setup Guide

Cisco ATA Voice Configuration

Configure Cisco ATA adapters for voice calls with analog phones. This guide covers ATA 190, ATA 191, SPA112, SPA122, and similar models.

This guide is for voice calls. For fax machine setup, see the Cisco ATA Fax Setup Guide.

Option 1: Auto-Provisioning (Recommended)

Provide your ATA's MAC address and we'll configure it automatically on our provisioning server.

Steps:
  1. Find the MAC address on the label on the bottom of the ATA
  2. Send the MAC address to VoipPlus support
  3. We'll create your configuration file
  4. Set the ATA's Profile Rule to our provisioning URL
  5. Reboot—the ATA configures itself
Profile Rule Format:
<Profile_Rule>http://provisioning.voipplus.net/SIP$MA.xml</Profile_Rule>

Option 2: Manual Configuration

Configure the ATA yourself through its web interface.

You'll need:
  • ATA's IP address (check DHCP leases on your router)
  • Your VoipPlus SIP credentials
  • Computer on the same network

See detailed steps below.

  2. Connect phone: Plug an analog phone into the Phone 1 port on the ATA.
  3. Check dial tone: Pick up the phone. You should hear a dial tone.
  4. Test outbound: Make a test call to verify outgoing calls work.
  5. Test inbound: Call your number from another phone to test incoming calls.
Troubleshooting
  • No dial tone: Check that the phone is connected to the correct port. Verify registration in the web interface.
  • Fast busy / reorder tone: Registration failed. Double-check SIP credentials.
  • One-way audio: Check NAT Mapping Enable is set to Yes.
