ATA 190 Installation

This section describes how to connect the ATA 190 hardware and configure the ATA 190 by loading the QED and firmware files. Install the QED file first, then install the firmware file.

Network Requirements

The ATA 190 acts as an endpoint on an IP telephony network. The following equipment is required:

Safety Recommendations

To ensure general safety, follow these guidelines:


Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.



Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.



Warning The plug-socket combination must always be accessible because it serves as the main disconnecting device.



Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.



Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.


For translated warnings, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ATA 190 manual.

What the ATA 190 Package Includes

The ATA 190 package contains the following items:


Note The ATA 190 is intended for use only with the 5V DC power adapter that comes with the unit.


Install the ATA 190

To install an ATA 190, follow these steps:

Procedure


Step 1 Connect the power supply to the Cisco DC Adapter port.

Step 2 Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable from the network to the network port on the ATA 190. Each ATA 190 ships with one Ethernet cable in the box.


 


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.


Attach a Phone to the ATA 190

You can attach one or two phones to an ATA 190 by connecting them to a phone port of the ATA 190 with an RJ11 cable. The ATA 190 PHONE1 and PHONE2 LEDs light as solid green when there is activity on that port.

Verify the ATA 190 Startup Process

After the ATA 190 has power connected to it, it 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 in this step.

3. Network LED is on.

4. After the Phone1 and Phone2 register with Cisco Unified CM successfully, the corresponding LEDs are on.

5. All 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 see the phone LED begin to flash, and you hear dial tone. The ATA 190 has completed the startup process.

Configure Startup Network Settings

If you are not using DHCP in your network, configure these network settings on the ATA 190 after installing the device on the network:

You may also configure these optional settings as necessary:

Administration VLAN ID

Collect this information and see instructions in Appendix B, “Voice Menu Codes.”

Configure 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 start 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.

You can start the installation of a Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) on the device profile from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Use the Device > Phone > Phone Configuration menu option. This menu option 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:

See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for more information.


Note If you want to update LSC, use reset to factory default from Appendix B, “Voice Menu Codes.”
