Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SCCP

Voice Configuration Menu

The main reasons to use the voice configuration menu are to establish IP connectivity for the Cisco ATA

if a DHCP server is not being used in your network environment, and to reset the Cisco

ATA to its

factory values if necessary. You can also use the voice configuration menu if you need to configure a

small number of parameters or if the web interface and TFTP configuration are not available.

Note Do not use the voice configuration menu to attempt to change any values that you configured by means

of the TFTP configuration file method. Whenever the Cisco

ATA resets, it downloads its

ata<macaddress> configuration file or atadefault.cfg default configuration file from the TFTP server,

and the values in either of these files will overwrite the values of any corresponding parameters

configured with the voice configuration menu.

See Chapter 5, “Parameters and Defaults,” for a complete list of parameters and their definitions. Also

see Table 3-5 on page 3-8 for an alphabetical listing of configurable features and references to their

corresponding parameters.

Using the Voice Configuration Menu

To manually configure the Cisco ATA by using the voice configuration menu and the telephone keypad,

perform the following steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Connect an analog touch-tone phone to the port labeled Phone 1 on the back of the Cisco ATA.

Step 2 Lift the handset and press the function button located on the top of the Cisco ATA. You should receive

the initial voice configuration menu voice prompt.

Step 3 Using the telephone keypad, enter the voice menu code for the parameter that you want to configure or

the command that you want to execute, then press #. For a list of voice menu codes, see

Appendix B,

“Voice Menu Codes.”

Table 3-7 lists the menu options that you need to configure basic IP connectivity for the Cisco ATA ,

after which you can use the Cisco ATA web configuration page to configure additional parameters.

Note If you are using the voice configuration menu to statically configure the Cisco ATA IP address,

you must disable DHCP by setting its value to 0.
