About Using the DHCP Server Network time protocol (NTP) servers—DHCP option 42 • (The Cisco ATA 186 takes up to two NTP servers) TFTP server name—DHCP option 66 • DNS, TFTP, and NTP servers can be overwritten by the value of the corresponding parameters in the local box profile (for example, the DNS1IP, DNS2IP, TftpURL, and NTPIP parameters).
You can configure the various Codec call options for use with the Cisco ATA 186. The Cisco ATA 186 can support two simultaneous G.723 calls or one G.729A Note call. When using G.729A, the second line must use G.711 u-law or a-law. The default voice codec is G.723.
H.323, and others are available with both protocols. About H.323-Specific Configurations The Cisco ATA 186 uses ITU H.323, Version 2 as the default signaling protocol. When operating in H.323 mode, the Cisco ATA 186 registers with a gatekeeper to handle call control services.
It must be H.323- or SIP-complaint. • • It must run the applicable version of Cisco IOS software for the features and protocol you want to use. It must support H.323 or SIP, but only one at a time. •...

Using ISDN/EI If you are using ISDN, the requirements for E1 are: ISDN switch-type primary-5ess voice rtp send-rcv Configuration depends on your WAN connection.
Enter the digits to be prepended in the associated PIN field. Step 2 For example, if you enter the dial string 5551212 in line 0 and the Cisco ATA 186 is configured with 1234 in the PWD0 field, the outgoing dial string is 12345551212.
About SIP-Specific Configurations The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a text-based IETF-defined protocol for establishing call sessions. To enable SIP on the Cisco ATA 186, you must set the UseSIP configuration parameter to 1. Session Description Protocol (SDP) is the part of the SIP message that establishes parameters.
About Using a Proxy Server with SIP About Using a Proxy Server with SIP When using a Proxy Server, the Cisco ATA 186 sends a call to request a User ID (telephone number). The proxy server holds a table of telephone numbers and their equivalent IP addresses.
Page 61
About NAT Support with SIP MediaPort The MediaPort configuration parameter specifies which base port the Cisco ATA 186 uses to receive RTP media streams. This parameter is only used for the purposes of SIP support behind a NAT. NATIP The NATIP configuration parameter specifies the WAN IP of the NAT. Specify the LAN IP in the StaticRoute configuration parameter.

C H A P T E R Using the FAX Passthrough Feature Both ports of the Cisco ATA 186 support FAX transmission. The Cisco ATA 186 can send FAXes by either of two methods: • FAX passthrough—In this mode, the Cisco ATA 186 can detect a FAX tone, after which it will turn off FAX tone detection and silence suppression and switch its operating codec to G.711 u-law or G.711 A-law.
About Configuring the Cisco ATA 186 for FAX Passthrough The standard-based protocol level (H.323/SIP) codec switch. • To interoperate with a Cisco gateway, which does not send protocol level codec switch requests but can accept them, select the Cisco proprietary codec switch. Note When you are using G.729A on one port, the other port automatically uses the...
[redundancy] [maximum-sessions value] The default payload-type parameter is 100. Valid values are 98 to 119. The • NSE payload number must be the same on both the Cisco ATA 186 and the Cisco Gateway. • The codec must be G.711u-law for T1 or G.711A-law for E1.
About FAX Mode Some users might want to set one or both lines of the Cisco ATA 186 to pure G.711 FAX mode. This mode allows the FAX machine connected to the Cisco ATA 186 to communicate directly with the FAX machine at the other end of the call with no FAX signaling events between the two FAX machines.

Step 1 Step 2 If you are not in SIP mode, enter your user ID (UID). If you hear a dial tone, your Cisco ATA 186 is properly configured. Step 3 Making a Call The dial plan described in these instructions is the default plan. You can Note configure your Cisco ATA 186 to use a different plan.
You can cancel or discontinue your call at any time by hanging up the handset. You can make a separate, simultaneous telephone call by using the second handset connected to the Cisco ATA 186. The Cisco ATA 186 can support two simultaneous G.723 calls or one G.729A call. When using G.729A, the second line must use G.711 u-law or a-law.
Cisco ATA 186 and the other IP telephone support at least one common audio codec technique: G.711A, G.711µ, G.723 and G.729A. • If you are using a firewall, make sure it is a Cisco PIX firewall, version 5 or later versions. •...

Defaults This Appendix provides detailed information on the call progress tone parameters and defaults you can use to provision your Cisco ATA 186. Call Progress Tone Parameters The call progress tone parameter is used to set the tone and frequency of the call progress tone.
A value of 1 • indicates a steady tone and causes the Cisco ATA 186 to ignore the on-time and off-time parameters. A value of 0 indicates an on/off tone pattern and causes the Cisco ATA 186 to use the on-time and off-time parameters.

Enable Fax Mode for the next call Call Command Example In addition to the provisioned call commands, the Cisco ATA 186 has a default list of call commands to handle common call scenarios. The default call commands can be overwritten by the provisioned call commands. If any Context/Input-Sequence appears in both the default Call Command string and the manually entered string, the manually entered value takes precedence.
