Cisco ATA 187 Analog Telephone Adaptor

Product Overview
The Cisco ATA 187 Analog Telephone Adaptor is a handset-to-Ethernet adaptor that turns traditional telephone devices into IP devices. Customers can take advantage of the many new and exciting IP telephony applications by connecting their analog devices to Cisco ATAs. The Cisco ATA products are standards-based communication devices that deliver true, next-generation voice-overIP (VoIP) terminations to businesses and residences worldwide.

Protects existing telephone investment: The Cisco ATA 187 supports two voice ports, each with its own independent telephone number, and a single RJ-45 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet port. This adaptor can make use of existing Ethernet LANs in addition to broadband pipes such as DSL, fixed wireless, and cable modem deployments.

Cost effective: The Cisco ATA 187 helps customers turn their analog phone devices into IP devices cost effectively and is the preferred solution to address the needs of customers who connect to enterprise networks, small-office environments, or the emerging VoIP managed voice services and local services market.

Enterprise customers are using the Cisco ATA 187 to connect analog phones and fax machines to their VoIP network. Service providers are taking advantage of emerging telephony applications and the ease of deploying second-line services using the Cisco ATA 187 (Figures 1 and 2).

Fax services

The Cisco ATA supports two modes of fax services, in which fax signals are transmitted using the G.711 codec: Fax pass-through mode: The mode enables receiver-side called-station-identification (CED) tone detection with automatic G.711A-law or G.711-law switching. T38 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 the fax modem response to these conditions. The network must have reasonably low network jitter, network delay, and packet loss rate.

Voice codecs supported

G.711-law G.711A-law G.729 G.729A G.729B G.729AB

SRTP/TLS

SRTP secures voice conversations on the network and provides protection against replay attacks. TLS is a cryptographic protocol that secures data communications such as email on the Internet. TLS is functionally equivalent to SSL. LAN port: One RJ-45 10/100BASE-T Fast Ethernet port Quality of service (QoS): Precedence setting and differentiated services code point (DSCP) Configurable based on network locale Echo canceller for each port 8-millisecond (ms) echo length Nonlinear echo suppression (echo return loss [ERL] greater than 28 dB for f = 300 to 3400 Hz)
