Your new ATA
Your analog telephone adapter (ATA) allows you to connect an analog device, such as an analog phone or fax machine, to your network. The connected device can then function like the IP phones in your network.
Your new analog telephone adapter (ATA) has two interfaces:
-
Two RJ11 ports for analog devices
-
A RJ45 port for Ethernet
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the ATA provide status.
Install your ATA with the components that are included in the box.
