Adding the Cisco ATA to the Cisco CallManager

Once you have configured the Cisco ATA, converted the configuration file into a binary file and stored

the file on the Cisco

CallManager TFTP server, you must register the Cisco ATA w i th

Cisco

CallManager.

This section contains important information about which device type to use when you register the

Cisco

ATA as well as how to choose which registration method is best based on your Cisco CallManager

environment. This section also includes information about Cisco

ATA behavior with Survivable Remote

Site Telephony (SRST):

• Device Type Information, page 4-2—This section describes how to choose and configure the correct

device type for your Cisco ATA.

• Adding Cisco ATAs Manually, page 4-2—You can use this method if you have a limited number of

Cisco ATAs to add to the Cisco CallManager.

• Using the Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), page 4-3—This is the most common method if

you need to add many Cisco ATA s to the Ci s c o CallManager.

• Using Auto-Registration, page 4-4—This method is disabled by default. If this method is enabled,

all devices connected to a specific Cisco CallManager are auto-registered. This process cannot be

limited to only the Cisco

ATAs that are connected to a specific Cisco CallManager.

• Survivable Remote Site Telephony, page 4-5—The Cisco ATA utilizes SRST without any required

configuration on the Cisco ATA.

• Using the Cisco IP Telephony Network Locale Option, page 4-5—The Cisco ATA supports the

Cisco IP Telephony Locale Installer, which is available with Cisco CallManager release 3.3(3).

• Using the Gratuitous ARP Feature, page 4-6—The Cisco ATA supports this feaure, which allows

the Cisco ATA to ignore ARP respones that are not the result of prior Cisco ATA r e quests.

Note The term Cisco ATA is used throughout this manual to refer to both the Cisco ATA 186 and the

Cisco ATA 188, unless differences between the Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 are explicitly stated.
