New and Changed Features
802.1X Support
You can enable 802.1X authentication on the ATA. When 802.1X authentication is enabled, the ATA uses it to request network access. When 802.1X authentication is disabled, the ATA uses CDP/LLDP to acquire VLAN and network access.
By default, 802.1X authentication is disabled. To enable it for the ATA, use one of the following methods in Cisco Unified Communications Manager:
-
For all ATAs: Set the field 802.1x Authentication from .
-
For a group of ATAs: Set the field 802.1x Authentication from .
-
For a single ATA: Set the field 802.1x Authentication from .
Users can set up the feature through the IVR system (IVR number 802
and 803
) to configure or check the feature status on the phone that is connected to the ATA.
Note |
Currently, the ATA doesn't support the IPv6 network access through 802.1X authentication. |

E911 Location Service Support
You can configure the E911 location service on the ATA to have an active location URI for emergency call. The location of the ATA can contain the street address, building number, floor number, room number, and other office location information. When you dial an emergency number, the emergency responder receives the phone location and a call-back number. If an emergency call disconnects, the emergency service uses the call-back number to reconnect to the caller.
