The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio, or farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Overview
This section describes the hardware and software features of the Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone
Adapter (ATA 190) and includes a brief overview of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
The ATA 190 analog telephone adapters are handset-to-Ethernet adapters that allow regular analog
phones to operate on IP-based telephony networks. The ATA 190 supports two voice ports, each with an
independent phone number. The ATA 190 also has an RJ-45 10/100BASE-T data port.

Chapter 1 Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adapter Overview
Session Initiation Protocol Overview
Session Initiation Protocol Overview
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard for real-time
calls and conferencing over Internet Protocol (IP). SIP is an ASCII-based, application-layer control
protocol (defined in RFC3261) that can be used to establish, maintain, and terminate multimedia
sessions or calls between two or more endpoints.
Like other Voice over IP (VoIP) protocols, SIP is designed to address the functions of signaling and
session management within a packet telephony network. Signaling allows call information to be carried
across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an
end-to-end call.
Note SIP for the ATA 190 is compliant with RFC2543.
This section contains these topics:
SIP Capabilities, page 1-2
Components of SIP, page 1-2
SIP Capabilities
SIP provides these capabilities:
Determines the availability of the target endpoint. If a call cannot be completed because the target
endpoint is unavailable, SIP determines whether the called party is already on the phone or did not
answer in the allotted number of rings. SIP then returns a message indicating why the target endpoint
was unavailable.
Determines the location of the target endpoint. SIP supports address resolution, name mapping, and
call redirection.
Determines the media capabilities of the target endpoint. Using the Session Description Protocol
(SDP), SIP determines the lowest level of common services between endpoints. Conferences are
established using only the media capabilities that are supported by all endpoints.
Establishes a session between the originating and target endpoint. If the call can be completed, SIP
establishes a session between the endpoints. SIP also supports mid-call changes, such as adding
another endpoint to the conference or changing the media characteristic or codec.
Handles the transfer and termination of calls. SIP supports the transfer of calls from one endpoint
to another. During a call transfer, SIP establishes a session between the transferee and a new
endpoint (specified by the transferring party) and terminates the session between the transferee and
the transferring party. At the end of a call, SIP terminates the sessions between all parties.
Conferences can consist of two or more users and can be established using multicast or multiple
unicast sessions.
Components of SIP
SIP is a peer-to-peer protocol. The peers in a session are called User Agents (UAs). A user agent can
function in one of these roles:
User agent client (UAC)—A client application that initiates the SIP request.
1-3
Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administration Guide for SIP (Version 1.0)
OL-31821-01
Chapter 1 Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adapter Overview
Session Initiation Protocol Overview
User agent server (UAS)—A server application that contacts the user when a SIP request is received
and returns a response on behalf of the user.
Typically, a SIP endpoint is capable of functioning as both a UAC and a UAS, but functions only as one
or the other per transaction. Whether the endpoint functions as a UAC or a UAS depends on the UA that
initiated the request.
From an architectural standpoint, the physical components of a SIP network can also be grouped into
two categories—Clients and servers. Figure 1-2 illustrates the architecture of a SIP network.
Note SIP servers can interact with other application services, such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) servers, a database application, or an extensible markup language (XML) application. These
application services provide back-end services such as directory, authentication, and billable services.
Figure 1-2 SIP Architecture
SIP Clients
SIP clients include:
Gateways—Provide call control. Gateways provide many services, the most common being a
translation function between SIP conferencing endpoints and other terminal types. This function
includes translation between transmission formats and between communications procedures. In
addition, the gateway also translates between audio and video codecs and performs call setup and
clearing on both the LAN side and the switched-circuit network side.
Phones—Can act as either a UAS or UAC. The ATA 190 can initiate SIP requests and respond to
requests.

OL-31821-01
Chapter 1 Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adapter Overview
Hardware Overview
Proxy server—The proxy server is an intermediate device that receives SIP requests from a client
and then forwards the requests on the client’s behalf. Proxy servers receive SIP messages and
forward them to the next SIP server in the network. Proxy servers can provide functions such as
authentication, authorization, network access control, routing, reliable request retransmission, and
security.
Redirect server—Receives SIP requests, strips out the address in the request, checks its address
tables for any other addresses that may be mapped to the address in the request, and then returns the
results of the address mapping to the client. Redirect servers provide the client with information
about the next hop or hops that a message should take, then the client contacts the next hop server
or UAS directly.
Registrar server—Processes requests from UACs for registration of their current location. Registrar
servers are often co-located with a redirect or proxy server.
Hardware Overview
The ATA 190 is a compact, easy to install device. Figure 1-3 shows the rear panel of the ATA 190.
Figure 1-3 ATA 190—Rear View
The unit provides these connectors and indicators:
5V power connector.
Two RJ-11 FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) ports—The ATA 190 supports two independent RJ-11
phone ports that can connect to any standard analog phone device. Each port supports either voice
calls or fax sessions, and both ports can be used simultaneously.
The ATA 190 has one network port—an RJ-45 10/100BASE-T data port to connect an
Ethernet-capable device, such as a computer, to the network.
Note The ATA 190 performs auto-negotiation for duplexity and speed and is capable of 10/100 Mbps,
full-duplex operation.

Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol
SRTP (Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol) secures voice conversations on the network and provides
protection against replay attacks.
Note Currently ATA190 does not support secure conference call. A 2-way secure call is supported.
Name Signaling Event based passthrough
Name Signaling Event (NSE)-based passthrough is simply the transport of fax or modem
communications using the G.711 codec.
The ATA 190 does not support NSE-based modem passthrough.
Transport Layer Security Protocol
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that secures data communications such as
e-mail on the Internet. TLS is functionally equivalent to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
T.38 Fax Relay
The T.38 fax relay feature enables devices to use fax machines to send files over the IP network. In
general, when a fax is received, it is converted to an image, sent to the T.38 fax device, and converted
back to an analog fax signal. T.38 fax relays configured with voice gateways decode or demodulate the
fax signals before they are transported over IP. With the SIP call control protocol, the T.38 fax relay is
indicated by Security Description (SDP) entries in the initial SIP INVITE message. After the initial SIP
INVITE message, the call is established to switch from voice mode to T.38 mode. Cisco Unified
Communications Administration allows you to configure a SIP profile that supports T.38 fax
communication.
Voice Codecs Supported
The ATA 190 supports these voice codecs (check your other network devices for the codecs they
support):

Fax Services
The ATA 190 supports two modes of fax services, in which fax signals are transmitted using the G.711
codec:
Fax pass-through mode—Receiver-side Called Station Identification (CED) tone detection with
automatic G.711A-law or G.711µ-law switching.
T.38 Fax Relay mode: The T.38 fax relay feature enables devices to use fax machines to send files
over the IP network. In general, when a fax is received, it is converted to an image, sent to the T.38
fax device, and converted back to an analog fax signal. T.38 fax relays configured with voice
gateways decode or demodulate the fax signals before they are transported over IP.
Note Success of fax transmission depends on network conditions and fax modem response to these conditions.
The network must have reasonably low network jitter, network delay, and packet loss rate.
Methods Supported
The ATA 190 supports these methods. For more information, see RFC3261 (SIP: Session Initiation
Protocol).

Preparing to Install the ATA 190 on Your Network
The ATA 190 enables you to communicate using voice over a data network. To provide this capability,
the ATA 190 depends upon and interacts with several other key Cisco Unified IP Telephony and network
components, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager, DNS and DHCP servers, TFTP
servers, media resources, and so on.
This chapter focuses on the interactions between the ATA 190, Cisco Unified Communications Manager,
DNS and DHCP servers, TFTP servers, and switches. It also describes options for powering the
ATA 190.
For related information about voice and IP communications, see this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/index.html
This chapter provides an overview of the interaction between the ATA 190 and other key components of
the V
oice over IP (VoIP) network. It includes these topics:

Providing Power to the ATA 190
Understanding How the ATA 190 Interacts with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is an open and industry-standard call processing system.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager software sets up and tears down calls between phones
connected to the ATA 190, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager manages the components of the IP telephony system—the
phones, the access gateways, and the resources necessary for features such as call conferencing and route
planning. Cisco Unified Communications Manager also provides:
Firmware for devices
Authentication and encryption (if configured for the telephony system)
Configuration and CTL files via the TFTP service
Phone registration
Call preservation, so that a media session continues if signaling is lost between the primary
Communications Manager and a phone
For information about configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager to work with the IP devices
described in this chapter, see Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco
Unified Communications Manager System Guide, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security
Guide.
Providing Power to the ATA 190
The ATA 190 is powered with external power. External power is provided through a separate power
supply.
The following sections provide more information about powering a ATA 190:
Power Guidelines, page 2-2
Power Outage, page 2-2
Understanding Phone Configuration Files, page 2-3
Power Guidelines
The following power type and guideline applies to external power for the ATA 190:
Power TypeExternal power (Provided through the Universal AC external power supply.)
GuidelinesThe ATA 190 uses the Universal AC power supply 110/240V
Power Outage
Your accessibility to emergency service through the phone is dependent on the phone being powered. If
there is an interruption in the power supply, Service and Emergency Calling Service dialing will not
function until power is restored. In the case of a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or
reconfigure equipment before using the Service or Emergency Calling Service dialing.

Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the ATA 190 on Your Network
Understanding Phone Configuration Files
Understanding Phone Configuration Files
Configuration files for a phone are stored on the TFTP server and define parameters for connecting to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager. In general, any time you make a change in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager that requires the phone to be reset, a change is automatically made
to the phone’s configuration file. If the system needs to reset or restart, both ports must reset or restart
at the same time.
Configuration files also contain information about which image load the phone should be running. If this
image load differs from the one that is currently loaded on a phone, the phone contacts the TFTP server
to request the required load files. (These files are digitally signed to ensure the authenticity of the file
source.)
In addition, if the device security mode in the configuration file is set to Authenticated and the CTL file
on the phone has a valid certificate for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the phone establishes
a TLS connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Otherwise, the phone establishes a
TCP/UDP connection. For SIP phones, a TLS connection requires that the transport protocol in the
phone configuration file be set to TLS, which corresponds to the transport type in the SIP Security
Profile in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
If you configure security-related settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration,
the phone configuration file will contain sensitive information. To ensure the privacy of a configuration
file, you must configure it for encryption. For detailed information, see Configuring Encrypted Phone
Configuration Files in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
A phone accesses a default configuration file named XMLDefault.cnf.xml only when the phone has not
received a valid Trust List file containing a certificate assigned to the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and TFTP.
If auto registration is not enabled and you did not add the phone to the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager database, the phone does not attempt to register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
If the phone has registered before, the phone accesses the configuration file named
ATA < mac_address>.cnf.xml, where mac_address is the MAC address of the phone.
Configuration Files:
For unsigned and unencrypted files—ATA<mac>.cnf.xml
For signed files—ATA<mac>.cnf.xml.sgn
For signed and encrypted files—ATA<mac>.cnf.xml.enc.sgn
Dial Plan—<dialplan>.xml
Support “,” for second dial tone
No support > for configuring termination key
No support + dial pattern which contains + will be ignored
Maximum number of dial pattern is 10
Maximum length of each dial pattern is 30
The filenames are derived from the MAC Address and Description fields in the Phone Configuration
window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. The MAC address uniquely
identifies the phone. For more information see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide.

Understanding the ATA 190 Startup Process
For more information about how the phone interacts with the TFTP server, see the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager System Guide, Cisco TFTP section.
Understanding the ATA 190 Startup Process
When connecting to the VoIP network, the ATA 190 goes through a standard startup process, as described
in Table 2-1. Depending on your specific network configuration, not all of these process steps may occur
on your ATA 190.
Ta b l e 2-1 ATA 190 Startup Process
Task Purpose Related Topics
1. Obtaining Power.
The ATA 190 uses external power.
See Providing Power to the ATA 190, page 2-2.
2. Loading the Stored Image.
The ATA 190 has non-volatile flash memory in which it
stores firmware images and user-defined preferences. At
startup, the phone runs a bootstrap loader that loads a
phone image stored in flash memory. Using this image, the
phone initializes its software and hardware.
3. Obtaining an IP Address.
If the ATA 190 is using DHCP to obtain an IP address, the
device queries the DHCP server to obtain one. If you are
not using DHCP in your network, you must assign static IP
addresses to each device locally.
4. Requesting the CTL file.
The TFTP server stores the CTL file. This file contains the
certificates necessary for establishing a secure connection
between the device and Cisco Unified Communications
Manager.
See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Security Guide, Configuring the Cisco CTL
Client.

Adding the ATA 190 to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database
Adding the ATA 190 to the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Database
Before installing the ATA 190, you must choose a method for adding the devices to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. These sections describe the methods:
Adding the ATA 190 with Auto-Registration, page 2-6
Adding the ATA 190 with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, page 2-6
Table 2-2 provides an overview of these methods for adding the ATA 190 to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
5. Requesting the Configuration File.
The TFTP server has configuration files, which define
parameters for connecting to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and other information for the
ATA 190.
See Understanding Phone Configuration Files,
page 2-3.
6. Contacting Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
The configuration file defines how the ATA 190
communicates with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and provides a device with its load ID. After
obtaining the file from the TFTP server, the device attempts
to make a connection to the highest priority Cisco
Unified Communications Manager on the list. If the
security profile of the device is configured for secure
signaling (encrypted or authenticated), and the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager is set to secure mode,
the device makes a TLS connection. Otherwise, it makes a
nonsecure TCP/UDP connection.
See Understanding Phone Configuration Files,
page 2-3.

Adding the ATA 190 to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database
Adding the ATA 190 with Auto-Registration
By enabling auto-registration before you begin installing the ATA 190, you can:
Add devices without first gathering MAC addresses from the ATA 190.
Automatically add a ATA 190 to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database when you
physically connect the phone to your IP telephony network. During auto-registration, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager assigns the next available sequential directory number to the phone.
Quickly enter devices into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database and modify any
settings, such as the directory numbers, from Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Move auto-registered devices to new locations and assign them to different device pools without
affecting their directory numbers.
Auto-registration is disabled by default. In some cases, you may not want to use auto-registration; for
example, if you want to assign a specific directory number to the phone or if you plan to use secure
connection with Cisco Unified Communications Manager as described in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Security Guide. For information about enabling auto-registration, see the
Enabling Auto-Registration in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Note When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client, auto-registration is
automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for nonsecure mode through the Cisco CTL
client, auto-registration is not automatically enabled.

Chapter 3 Installing the ATA 190
Attaching a Phone to the ATA 190
Note You can use either Category 3/5/5e/6 cabling for 10 Mbps connections, but you must use Category 5/5e/6
for 100 Mbps connections.
Attaching a Phone to the ATA 190
You can attach one or two phones to an ATA 190 by connecting them to a line port of the ATA 190 with
a RJ11 cable. The line LED will blink when there is activity on that line.
Verifying the ATA 190 Startup Process
After the ATA 190 has power connected to it, the phone begins its startup process by cycling through
these steps:
1. The Power LED is on.
2. The Network LED is flashing (when there is data traffic on Network port connected to a WAN port.)
The ATA 190 is launching its application.
3. Network LED is on.
4. After the Phone1 and Phone2 resgister with CUCM successfully, the corresponding LEDs are on.
5. All of the LEDs are on.
If the ATA 190 flash memory is erased or the load is corrupted, the ATA enters a recovery mode where
it can restore the image by manual upgrading.
When you go offhook on the phone, you will see the line LED to begin flashing, and you will hear dial
tone. The ATA 190 has completed the startup process.
Configuring Startup Network Settings
It is recommended to use DHCP instead of Static IP. DHCP server provides ip, mask, gateway, tftp
server, etc.
Configuring Security on the ATA 190
The security features protect against several threats, including threats to the identity of the phone and to
data. These features establish and maintain authenticated communication streams between the phone and
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, and digitally sign files before they are delivered.
For more information about the security features, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Security Guide.
You can initiate the installation of a Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) from the Security
Configuration menu on the phone. This menu also lets you update or remove an LSC.
Before you begin, make sure that the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the CAPF
security configurations are complete:

Configuring Fax Services
The ATA 190 provides two modes of fax services that are capable of internetworking with Cisco IOS
gateways over IP networks. These modes are called fax pass-through mode and T.38 fax relay mode.
With fax pass-through mode, the ATA 190 encodes fax traffic within the G.711 voice codec and passes
it through the Voice Over IP (VoIP) network as though the fax were a voice call.
With T.38 fax relay mode, the ATA 190 supports the transmission of faxes, in real time, between two
standard fax terminals communicating over SIP networks. T.38 fax relay mode provides a more reliable
and error-free method of sending faxes over an IP network
Using Fax Mode
You can choose the preferred fax mode on the phone configuration page of the Unified CM
administration page. From the fax mode pull-down window, choose one of the following modes:
Fax pass-through
T.38 fax relay
NSE Fax pass–Through—g711ulaw
NSE Fax pass–Through—g711alaw
You can set the Fax Error correction mode override values. From the fax mode pull-down window,
choose one of the following modes:
On
Off

Troubleshooting and Maintenance
This chapter provides information that can assist you in troubleshooting problems with your ATA 190 or
with your IP telephony network. It also explains how to clean and maintain your phone.
This chapter includes these topics:
Resolving Startup Problems, page D-1
ATA 190 Resets Unexpectedly, page D-5

Where to Go for More Troubleshooting Information, page D-9
Cleaning the ATA 190, page D-9
Resolving Startup Problems
After installing an ATA 190 into your network and adding it to Cisco Unified Communications Manager,
the phone should start up as described in the Installing the ATA 190, page 3-2. If the phone does not start
up properly, see the following sections for troubleshooting information:
Symptom: The ATA 190 Does Not Go Through its Normal Startup Process, page D-1
Symptom: The ATA 190 Does Not Register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page D-2
Symptom: ATA 190 Unable to Obtain IP Address, page D-4
Symptom: The ATA 190 Does Not Go Through its Normal Startup Process
When you connect a phone in the network port, the phone should go through its normal startup process
as described in the Verifying the ATA 190 Startup Process, page 3-3. If the phone does not go through
the startup process, the cause may be faulty cables, bad connections, network outages, lack of power,
and so on. Or, the phone may not be functional.
To determine whether the phone is functional, follow these suggestions to systematically eliminate these
other potential problems:
1. Verify that the network port is functional:
Exchange the Ethernet cables with cables that you know are functional.
D-2
Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administration Guide for SIP (Version 1.0)
OL-31821-01
Chapter D Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Resolving Startup Problems
Disconnect a functioning phone from another port and connect it to this network port to verify
the port is active.
Connect the phone that will not start up to a different network port that is known to be good.
Connect the phone that will not start up directly to the port on the switch, eliminating the patch
panel connection in the office.
2. Verify that the phone is receiving power:
If you are using external power, verify that the electrical outlet is functional.
If you are using the external power supply, switch with a unit that you know to be functional.
3. If the phone still does not start up properly, perform a factory reset of the phone.
Symptom: The ATA 190 Does Not Register with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager
If the phone proceeds past the first stage of the startup process (LED buttons flashing on and off) but
continues to cycle through the messages, the phone is not starting up properly. The phone cannot
successfully start up unless it is connected to the Ethernet network and it has registered with a
Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
These sections can assist you in determining the reason the phone is unable to start up properly:
Registering the Phone with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page D-4
Checking Network Connectivity, page D-2
Verifying TFTP Server Settings, page D-2
Verifying DNS Settings, page D-3
Verifying Cisco Unified Communications Manager Settings, page D-3
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and TFTP Services Are Not Running, page D-3
Creating a New Configuration File, page D-3
Registering the Phone with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page D-4
Checking Network Connectivity
If the network is down between the phone and the TFTP server or Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, the phone cannot start up properly. Ensure that the network is currently running.
Verifying TFTP Server Settings
You can determine the IP address of the TFTP server used by the ATA 190 by entering http://x.x.x.x
where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the ATA 190.
If you have assigned a static IP address to the phone, you must manually enter a setting for the TFTP
Server 1 option. See Accessing the IVR and Configuring Your Phone Setting” section on page B-1.
If you are using DHCP, the phone obtains the address for the TFTP server from the DHCP server. Check
the IP address configured in Option 150.
You can also enable the phone to use an alternate TFTP server. Such a setting is particularly useful if the
phone was recently moved from one location to another. See Accessing the IVR and Configuring Your
Phone Setting” section on page B-1 for instructions.

Verifying DNS Settings
If you are using DNS to refer to the TFTP server or to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you
must ensure that you have specified a DNS server. Verify this setting by entering http://x.x.x.x where
x.x.x.x is the IP address of the ATA 190. You should also verify that there is a CNAME entry in the DNS
server for the TFTP server and for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system.
You must also ensure that DNS is configured to do reverse look-ups.
Verifying Cisco Unified Communications Manager Settings
Enter http://x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the ATA 190 to find the active Cisco Unified
Communications Manager settings.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and TFTP Services Are Not Running
If the Cisco Unified Communications Manager or TFTP services are not running, phones may not be
able to start up properly. However, in such a situation, it is likely that you are experiencing a system-wide
failure, and that other phones and devices are unable to start up properly.
If the Cisco Unified Communications Manager service is not running, all devices on the network that
rely on it to make phone calls will be affected. If the TFTP service is not running, many devices will not
be able to start up successfully.
To start a service, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Cisco Unified Serviceability
from the Navigation drop-down list.
Step 2 Choose Tools > Control Center - Network Services.
Step 3 Choose the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager server from the Server drop-down list.
The window displays the service names for the server that you chose, the status of the services, and a
service control panel to stop or start a service.
Step 4 If a service has stopped, click its radio button and then click the Start button.
The Service Status symbol changes from a square to an arrow.
Note A service must be activated before it can be started or stopped. To activate a service, choose Tools >
Service Activation.
Creating a New Configuration File
If you continue to have problems with a particular phone that other suggestions in this chapter do not
resolve, the configuration file may be corrupted.

Resolving Startup Problems
To create a new configuration file, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose Device > Phone > Find to locate the phone
experiencing problems.
Step 2 Choose Delete to remove the phone from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
Step 3 Add the phone back to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. See Attaching a Phone to
the ATA 190, page 3-3 for details.
Step 4 Power cycle the phone.
Note When you remove a phone from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, its configuration
file is deleted from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TFTP server. The phone’s directory
number or numbers remain in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. They are called
“unassigned DNs” and can be used for other devices. If unassigned DNs are not used by other devices,
delete them from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. You can use the Route Plan
Report to view and delete unassigned reference numbers. See the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration Guide for more information.
Note Changing the buttons on a phone button template, or assigning a different phone button template to a
phone, may result in directory numbers that are no longer accessible from the phone. The directory
numbers are still assigned to the phone in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, but
there is no button on the phone with which calls can be answered. These directory numbers should be
removed from the phone and deleted if necessary.
Registering the Phone with Cisco Unified Communications Manager
A phone can register with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server only if the phone has been
added to the server or if auto-registration is enabled. Review the information and procedures in the
Attaching a Phone to the ATA 190, page 3-3 to ensure that the phone has been added to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
To verify that the phone is in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, choose Device >
Phone > Find from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to search for the phone
based on its MAC Address. For information about determining a MAC address, see Determining the
MAC Address of an ATA 190, page 2-7.
If the phone is already in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, its configuration file
may be damaged. See Adding Users to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page 4-6 for assistance.
Symptom: ATA 190 Unable to Obtain IP Address
If a phone is unable to obtain an IP address when it starts up, the phone may be not be on the same
network or VLAN as the DHCP server, or the switch port to which the phone is connected may be
disabled.
Make sure that the network or VLAN to which the phone is connected has access to the DHCP server,
and make sure that the switch port is enabled.

ATA 190 Resets Unexpectedly
ATA 190 Resets Unexpectedly
If users report that their phones are resetting during calls or while idle on their desk, you should
investigate the cause. If the network connection and Cisco Unified Communications Manager
connection are stable, a Cisco Unified IP Phone should not reset on its own.
Typically, a phone resets if it has problems connecting to the Ethernet network or to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager. These sections can help you identify the cause of a phone
resetting in your network:
Verifying Physical Connection, page D-5
Identifying Intermittent Network Outages, page D-5
Verifying DHCP Settings, page D-5
Checking Static IP Address Settings, page D-6
Verifying Voice VLAN Configuration, page D-6
Eliminating DNS or Other Connectivity Errors, page D-6
Troubleshooting ATA 190 Security, page D-7
Verifying Physical Connection
Verify that the Ethernet connection to which the ATA 190 is connected is up. For example, check whether
the particular port or switch to which the phone is connected is down and that the switch is not rebooting.
Also make sure that there are no cable breaks.
Identifying Intermittent Network Outages
Intermittent network outages affect data and voice traffic differently. Your network might have been
experiencing intermittent outages without detection. If so, data traffic can resend lost packets and verify
that packets are received and transmitted. However, voice traffic cannot recapture lost packets. Rather
than retransmitting a lost network connection, the phone resets and attempts to reconnect its network
connection.
If you are experiencing problems with the voice network, you should investigate whether an existing
problem is simply being exposed.
Verifying DHCP Settings
Follow this process to help determine if the phone has been properly configured to use DHCP:
Procedure
Step 1 Verify that you have properly configured the phone to use DHCP. See Configuring Startup Network
Settings, page 3-3 for more information.
Step 2 Verify that the DHCP server has been set up properly.
Step 3 Verify the DHCP lease duration. Cisco recommends that you set it to 8 days.

Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administration Guide for SIP (Version 1.0)
OL-31821-01
Chapter D Troubleshooting and Maintenance
ATA 190 Resets Unexpectedly
The ATA 190 sends messages with request type 151 to renew the DHCP address leases. If the DHCP
server expects messages with request type 150, the lease will be denied, forcing the ATA 190 to restart
and request a new IP address from the DHCP server.
Checking Static IP Address Settings
If the phone has been assigned a static IP address, verify that you have entered the correct settings. See
Understanding Phone Configuration Files, page 2-3 for more information.
Verifying Voice VLAN Configuration
If the ATA 190 appears to reset during heavy network usage (for example, following extensive web
surfing on a computer connected to same switch as phone), it is likely that you do not have a voice VLAN
configured.
Isolating the phones on a separate auxiliary VLAN increases the quality of the voice traffic.
Eliminating DNS or Other Connectivity Errors
If the phone continues to reset, follow these steps to eliminate DNS or other connectivity errors:
Procedure
Step 1 Use the IVR to reset phone settings to their default values. See Accessing the IVR and Configuring Your
Phone Setting, page B-1 for details.
Step 2 Modify DHCP and IP settings:
a. Disable DHCP.
b. Assign static IP values to the phone. See Understanding Phone Configuration Files, page 2-3 for
instructions. Use the same default router setting used for other functioning ATA 190.
c. Assign TFTP server. Use the same TFTP server used for other functioning ATA 190.
Step 3 On the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, verify that the local host files have the correct
Cisco Unified Communications Manager server name mapped to the correct IP address.
Step 4 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose System > Server and verify that the server is
referred to by its IP address and not by its DNS name.
Step 5 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose Device > Phone and verify that you have
assigned the correct MAC address to this Cisco Unified IP Phone. For information about determining a
MAC address, see Determining the MAC Address of an ATA 190, page 2-7.
Step 6 Power cycle the phone.

Summary Explanation
Poor quality when calling mobile
phones using the G.729 protocol
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can configure the
network to use the G.729 protocol (the default is G.711). When
using G.729, calls between a phone and a mobile phone will have
poor voice quality. Use G.729 only when absolutely necessary.
Prolonged broadcast storms
cause phones to reset, or be
unable to make or answer a call
A prolonged Layer 2 broadcast storm (lasting several minutes) on
the voice VLAN may cause phones to reset, lose an active call, or
be unable to initiate or answer a call. Phones may not come up until
a broadcast storm ends.

General Troubleshooting Tips
Moving a network connection
from the phone to a workstation
If you are powering your phone through the network connection,
you must be careful if you decide to unplug the phone’s network
connection and plug the cable into a desktop computer.
Caution The computer’s network card cannot receive power
through the network connection; if power comes through
the connection, the network card can be destroyed. To
protect a network card, wait 10 seconds or longer after
unplugging the cable from the phone before plugging it
into a computer. This delay gives the switch enough time
to recognize that there is no longer a phone on the line
and to stop providing power to the cable.
Changing the phone
configuration
By default, the network configuration options are locked to prevent
users from making changes that could impact their network
connectivity. You must unlock the network configuration options
before you can configure them.
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency
(DTMF) delay
When you are on a call that requires keypad input, if you press the
keys too quickly, some of them might not be recognized.
Codec mismatch between the
phone and another device
The RxType and the TxType statistics show the codec that is being
used for a conversation between this ATA 190 and the other device.
The values of these statistics should match. If they do not, verify
that the other device can handle the codec conversation or that a
transcoder is in place to handle the service.
Sound sample mismatch
between the phone and another
device
The RxSize and the TxSize statistics show the size of the voice
packets that are being used in a conversation between this ATA 190
and the other device. The values of these statistics should match.
Gaps in voice calls Check the AvgJtr and the MaxJtr statistics. A large variance
between these statistics might indicate a problem with jitter on the
network or periodic high rates of network activity.
Loopback condition A loopback condition can occur when the following conditions are
met:
The SW Port Configuration option in the Network
Configuration menu on the phone is set to 10 Half
(10-BaseT/half duplex)
The phone receives power from an external power supply
The phone is powered down (the power supply is disconnected)
In this case, the switch port on the phone can become disabled and
the following message will appear in the switch console log:
HALF_DUX_COLLISION_EXCEED_THRESHOLD
To resolve this problem, re-enable the port from the switch.

Cleaning the ATA 190
To clean your ATA 190, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not apply liquids or powders directly
on the device. As with all non-weather-proof electronics, liquids and powders can damage the
components and cause failures.
One-way audio When at least one person in a call does not receive audio, IP
connectivity between phones is not established. Check the
configurations in routers and switches to ensure that IP connectivity
is properly configures.
Phone call cannot be established The phone does not have a DHCP IP address, is unable to register to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and shows a Configuring
IP or Registering message.
Verify the following:
1. The Ethernet cable is attached.
2. The Cisco CallManager service is running on the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager server.
3. Both phones are registered to the same Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
4. Audio server debug and capture logs are enabled for both
phones. If needed, enable Java debug.
