On-hook voltage (tip/ring)	-50V
Off-hook current	25 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 for SCCP
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
