Physical Interfaces

Table C-4 Physical Interfaces

Description
Specification

Ethernet

Two RJ-45 connectors, IEEE 802.3 10BaseT standard

Analog telephone

Two RJ-11 FXS voice ports

Power

5 VDC power connector

Indicators

Function button with integrated status indicator

Activity LED indicating network activity


Ringing Characteristics

Table C-5 Ringing Characteristics

Description
Specification

Tip/ring interfaces for each RJ-11 FXS port (SLIC)

Ring voltage

40VRMS (typical, balanced ringing only)

Ring frequency

25 Hz

Ring waveform

Trapezoidal with 1.2 to 1.6 crest factor

Ring load

1400 ohm + 40mF

Ringer equivalence number (REN)

Up to 5 REN per RJ-11 FXS port

Loop impedance

Up to 200 ohms (plus 430-ohm maximum telephone DC resistance)

On-hook/off-hook characteristics

On-hook voltage (tip/ring)

-50V

Off-hook current

27 mA (nominal)

RJ-11 FXS port terminating impedance option

The Cisco ATA186-I1 and Cisco ATA188-I1 provide 600-ohm resistive impedance. The Cisco ATA186-I2 and Cisco ATA188-I2 provide 270 ohm + 750 ohm // 150-nF complex impedance.


Software Specifications

Table C-6 Software Specifications (All Protocols) 

Description
Specification

Call progress tones

Configurable for two sets of frequencies and single set of on/off cadence

Dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF)

DTMF tone detection and generation

Fax

G.711 fax pass-through and G.711 fax mode.

Enhanced fax pass-through is supported on the Cisco ATA. Success of fax transmissions up to 14.4 kbps depends on network conditions, and fax modem/fax machine tolerance to those conditions. The network must have reasonably low network jitter, network delay, and packet-loss rate.

Line-echo cancellation

Echo canceller for each port

8 ms echo length

Nonlinear echo suppression (ERL > 28 dB for frequency = 300 to 2400 Hz)

Convergence time = 250 ms

ERLE = 10 to 20 dB

Double-talk detection

Out-of-band DTMF

H.245 out-of-band DTMF for H.323

RFC 2833 AVT tones for SIP, MGCP, SCCP

Configuration

DHCP (RFC 2131)

Web configuration via built-in Web server

Touch-tone telephone keypad configuration with voice prompt

Basic boot configuration (RFC 1350 TFTP Profiling)

Dial plan configuration

Cisco Discovery Protocol

Quality of Service

Class-of-service (CoS) bit-tagging (802.1P)

Type-of-service (ToS) bit-tagging

Security

H.235 for H.323

RC4 encryption for TFTP configuration files

Voice coder-decoders (codecs)


Note In simultaneous dual-port operation, the second port is limited to G.711 when using G.729.


G.723.1

G.729, G.729A, G.729AB

G.723.1

G.711A-law

G.711µ-law

Voice features

Voice activity detection (VAD)

Comfort noise generation (CNG)

Dynamic jitter buffer (adaptive)

Voice-over-IP (VoIP) protocols

H.323 v2

SIP (RFC 2543 bis)

MGCP 1.0 (RFC 2705)

MGCP 1.0/network-based call signalling (NCS) 1.0 profile

MGCP 0.1

SCCP
