Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server The TFTP method of configuration is useful when you have many Cisco ATA because you can use a TFTP server for remote, batch configuration of Cisco ATAs. A TFTP server can host one unique configuration file for each Cisco ATA.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server For an example of how to configure parameters for the TFTP Server configuration method, see the “Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files” section on page 3-9. Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files If you have many Cisco ATAs to configure, a good approach is to create two configuration files: • One file that will contain only parameter values unique to a specific Cisco ATA.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server Step 4 Use the mgcp_example.txt file again, this time as a template for creating a text file of values that are specific to one Cisco ATA. For example, you might configure the following parameters: UserID:8530709 GkorProxy:192.168.1.1 Save this file of Cisco ATA-specific parameters as: ata.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server Example cfgfmt -mgcp -tptag.dat ata0a141e28323c.txt ata0a141e28323c This example is based on a Cisco ATA MAC address of 10.20.30.40.50.60, which converts to the two-digit, lower-case hexadecimal representation of each integer as 0a141e28323c. When you convert the ata.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server The following command and output show an example of this command. Command Example atapname.exe 10.20.30.40.50.60 Command Output ata0a141e28323c Note The same functionality is available from the voice configuration menu (voice menu code 84#), which will announce the Cisco ATA profile name.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server This section contains the following topics: • Configuration Files that the cfgfmt Tool Creates, page 3-13 • cfgfmt Tool Syntax and Examples, page 3-14 Configuration Files that the cfgfmt Tool Creates The number of output binary configuration files that the Cisco ATA produces is dependent on two factors: • Which encryption key parameter is used—EncryptKey or EncryptKeyEx • The total size of the binary output
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server cfgfmt Tool Syntax and Examples The syntax of the cfgfmt tool follows: Syntax cfgfmt [options] input output Syntax Definitions—Options • -eRc4Passwd—This option directs the Cisco ATA to use Rc4Passwd as the key (up to eight hexadecimal characters) to encrypt or decrypt the input text file.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server Syntax examples The cfgfmt.exe syntax affects how the EncryptKeyEx or EncryptKey parameters are used, as shown in the following examples. In these examples, input-text-file is the ata.txt file that you will convert to binary to create the ata configuration file(s) for the Cisco ATA; output-binary-file is that binary ata file, and Secret is the encryption key.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server Step 3 Set the value of the EncryptKeyEx parameter to the chosen encryption key with which you want the output binary file to be encrypted. In the EncryptKeyEx parameter specified in the configuration file, you can also restrict the EncryptKeyEx value to apply only to the Cisco ATA with a particular MAC address.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server Example 2 In this example, a new Cisco ATA has already b een deployed (with the EncryptKey value set) with a firmware version earlier than 2.16.2. The Cisco ATA needs to be upgraded to version 2.16.2 firmware or greater to use EncryptKeyEx parameter to encrypt its configuration file.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server Configuring the Cisco ATA to Obtain its Configuration File from the TFTP Server This section describes three methods for how the Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server to obtain its configuration file: • Using a DHCP Server, page 3-18 – The Cisco ATA contacts the DHCP server, which provides the IP address of the TFTP server – The Cisco ATA uses the DHCP server but the DHCP server does not know about the TFTP server •
Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server This completes the parameter settings and DHCP options you need to configure for this procedure. The Cisco ATA will contact the DHCP server for the IP address of the TFTP server that contains the Cisco ATA configuration file.

C H A P T E R 6 Configuring and Debugging Fax Services The Cisco ATA provides two modes of fax services that are capable of internetworking with Cisco IOS gateways over IP networks. These modes are called fax pass-through mode and fax mode. With fax pass-through mode, the Cisco ATA encodes fax traffic within the G.711 voice codec and passes it through the Voice Over IP (VoIP) network as though the fax were a voice call. This mode uses the Cisco proprietary fax upspeed method.
Chapter 6 Configuring and Debugging Fax Services Using Fax Pass-through Mode Note The Cisco ATA can also accept standard-based protocol-level codec switch requests, but cannot send such requests. Therefore, to interoperate with a Cisco gateway, use the Cisco-proprietary codec switch.
Chapter 6 Configuring and Debugging Fax Services Using Fax Pass-through Mode ConnectMode Description The ConnectMode parameter is a 32-bit value. The parameter settings apply to both lines of the Cisco ATA. Configure ConnectMode after configuring AudioMode for fax pass-through mode. Cisco recommends you use the following ConnectMode setting to interoperate with a Cisco IOS gateway.
Chapter 6 Configuring and Debugging Fax Services Using Fax Pass-through Mode Note For detailed information on setting up your IOS gateways and on feature availability, refer to the document Cisco Fax Services over IP. Enable Fax Pass-through Mode The supporting Cisco gateway can enable fax pass-through mode using system-level or dial-peer-level commands.
Chapter 6 Configuring and Debugging Fax Services Using Fax Pass-through Mode Dial-Peer Level Commands You can enable fax pass-through mode for communication between a Cisco IOS gateway and the specified Cisco ATA using the following dial-peer level commands: Procedure Step 1 Perform the command: dial-peer voice tag voip Step 2 Perform the command: modem passthrough {NSE [payload-type number] codec {g711µlaw | g711alaw} [redundancy] | system} a.
Chapter 6 Configuring and Debugging Fax Services Using FAX Mode Using FAX Mode Use fax mode when the gateways in the network do not support fax pass-through mode or dial-peer configuration. You can set one or both lines of the Cisco ATA to G.711-only fax mode. This mode allows the fax machine connected to the Cisco ATA to communicate directly with the far endpoint with no fax signaling event occurring between the two gateways.
Chapter 6 Configuring and Debugging Fax Services Debugging the Cisco ATA 186/188 Fax Services Configuring the Cisco IOS Gateway for Fax Mode On the Cisco gateway, disable both fax relay and fax pass-through at the dial-peer level or system level with the following commands: Procedure Step 1 Run the command: fax rate disable Step 2 Run the command: no modem passthrough Debugging the Cisco ATA 186/188 Fax Services This section includes the following debugging topics for fax services: • Common Problems

C H A P T E R 7 Upgrading the Cisco ATA Signaling Image This section describes two methods for upgrading the Cisco ATA software for the MGCP protocol: • Upgrading the Signaling Image from a TFTP Server, page 7-1—This is the Cisco-recommended method for the MGCP protocol. This is the most efficient method and requires only a one-time configuration change. • Upgrading the Signaling Image Manually, page 7-2—This method can be used if you must manually upgrade the image of one Cisco ATA.
Chapter 7 Upgrading the Cisco ATA Signaling Image Upgrading the Signaling Image Manually • tftp_server_ip is the TFTP server that contains the latest signaling image file. • image_id is a unique 32-bit integer that differs with each upgrade. You can determine this 32-bit integer value by using the build date on the image file name and prepending it with "0x". For example, if the image_file_name is ata186-v2-14-020514a.kxz, then the build date is 020508a, and the image_id is 0x020508a).
Chapter 7 Upgrading the Cisco ATA Signaling Image Upgrading the Signaling Image Manually Preliminary Steps Before you run the executable file, be sure to complete the following procedure: Procedure Step 1 If you are a registered CCO user. go to the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ata186 Step 2 Locate the zip file that contains the software for the applicable release and signaling image you are using. The contents of each file are described next to the file name.
Chapter 7 Upgrading the Cisco ATA Signaling Image Upgrading the Signaling Image Manually Definitions • -any—Allow upgrade regardless of software and build versions (recommended). • -h[host_ip]—Set the upgrade server to a specific IP address in cases where there may be more than one IP address for the host. The default behavior is that the program will use the first IP address it obtains when it runs the gethostbyname command.

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Symptoms and Actions • A busy tone indicates that the party you called is not available. Try your call again later. A fast-busy tone indicates that you dialed an invalid number. • After power up, if the function button continues to blink slowly, the Cisco ATA cannot locate the DHCP server. Check the Ethernet connection and the availability of the DHCP server.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Installation and Upgrade Issues Symptom The Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server more often than specified in the CfgInterval parameter. Possible Cause The ToConfig parameter is not set to 0. Recommended Action After the Cisco ATA has a valid configuration file, the ToConfig parameter must be set to 0. If it is not set to 0, the Cisco ATA will attempt to contact the TFTP server too frequently. Symptom Cannot place call. Possible Cause Equipment failure on the network.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Debugging Symptom The red LED is flashing slowly on the function button. Possible Cause The Cisco ATA is trying to obtain the DHCP address or the software image is being upgraded. Possible Cause The Ethernet cable is unplugged. Recommended Action Plug in the Ethernet cable. Symptom Voice prompt returns Upgrade not available message. This can only occur if you are using the executable-file upgrade method. Possible Cause You are attempting to upgrade to the existing version.

If another process on your PC already uses port 9001, you may use some other value (legal values are from 1024 to 65535). If no port value is entered, the default value is 9001. To enter the IP address and port number, use voice menu option 81#. You must enter the IP address and port number in alphanumeric format, which requires entering the * key after every character entered. To enter the ".
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Using System Diagnostics Using System Diagnostics The Cisco ATA uses functionality of the syslog protocol for system diagnostics. For detailed information on syslog, see RFC-3164. Note Because the Cisco ATA does not have an internal clock, syslog messages provide the time offset from the most recent Cisco ATA reset. The system administrator should make sure that the syslog relay or syslog server adds the local timestamps upon receiving syslog messages.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Using System Diagnostics The following examples show some of the different types of messages that syslog reports. Example—ARP Message <62>00:00:51 192.168.3.169 [00]:ARP Update: MAC:080017014e00, IP:192.168.2.81 This message includes the following information: • Priority=62, which means that the facility value is 7 (network new subsystem) and the severity value is 6 ( informational messages).
