Manage the ATA Using the IVR

An IVR system is available to help you to configure and manage your ATA. Use the phone keypad on the analog phone to select options and make your entries.


Note


If you are an analog phone user, check with your administrator as these settings may already be configured. Access to the IVR may also be restricted.


Before you begin

Connect an analog phone to a PHONE port on the ATA.

You need a password to access the IVR. Contact your administrator if you don't have one.

Procedure


Step 1

To access the IVR, go off-hook on the phone connected to PHONE1 or PHONE2.

Step 2

Press **** from the phone keypad.

The IVR prompts for a password. The ATA 191 allows you to enter only numerical values for the password.

Step 3

Follow the voice prompts on the IVR.

Step 4

To return to the main configuration menu, press *.

Step 5

To exit the IVR, end the call.


IVR Tips

When using the IVR to manage the ATA, note the following tips:

  • Enter the numbers slowly, listening for the audio confirmation before entering the next number.

  • After you select an option, press the # (pound) key.

  • To exit the menu, hang up the phone.

  • After entering a value such as an IP address, press the # (pound) key to indicate that you have finished your selection. Then proceed as needed:

    • To save a setting, press 1.

    • To review a setting, press 2.

    • To re-enter a setting, press 3.

    • To cancel your entry and return to the main menu, press * (star).

  • When entering a value, you can cancel the changes by pressing the * (star) key twice within half a second. Be sure to press the key quickly, or the * is treated as a decimal point entry.

  • If the menu is inactive for more than one minute, the IVR times out. Re-enter the IVR menu by pressing ****. Your settings take effect after you hang up the phone or exit the IVR. The ATA may reboot now.

  • To enter special characters, use the following key combinations:

    • To enter a dot (.) or colon (:) that separates octets in the IP Address, press star (*).

    • To enter the hexadecimal A, press the 2 key two times quickly.

    • To enter the hexadecimal B, press the 2 key three times quickly.

    • To enter the hexadecimal C, press the 2 key four times quickly.

    • To enter the hexadecimal D, press the 3 key two times quickly.

    • To enter the hexadecimal E, press the 3 key three times quickly.

    • To enter the hexadecimal F, press the 3 key four times quickly.

For example, to enter the IP address 191.168.1.105, perform the following tasks:

  • Press these keys: 191*168*1*105

  • Press the # (pound) key to indicate that you have finished entering the IP address.
  • Press 1 to save the IP address or press the * (star) key to cancel your entry and return to the main menu.
