CafeFone Configuration Guide for the Cisco ATA186
INTRODUCTION
This Configuration Guide will outline the steps for configuring the CISCO® ATA 186 Analog Telephone
Adaptor (ATA) for calling using the CafeFone service.
For more details on installing or configuring the ATA, please review the User’s Guide, located at:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/ata/index.htm
For release notes on the SIP 3.1.0 firmware, please review the Release Notes, located at:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/ata/atarn/atarn3_1.htm
REQUIREMENTS
yConnection to a broadband Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Local Area Network (LAN).
yAn account number and passcode for each CafeFone phone port.
(If you do not have an account number or passcode, please contact your local reseller.)
yAny conventional analog telephone.
yA Cisco ATA with firmware version 3.1.0 or higher.
yA PC connected to the same network as the ATA. (For initial configuration steps only.)
SUPPORT
If you need technical support for using the ATA with the CafeFone service, please contact your local reseller.
SET UP YOUR ATA
To set up your ATA:
1. Connect the ATA to your Ethernet port by plugging one end of an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) into the
back of the ATA and the other end into a broadband router or LAN port.
2. Connect your telephone into the ATA by plugging a standard RJ-11 telephone cable from your
phone into the ATA’s Phone1 port.
To connect another telephone, plug a standard RJ-11 telephone cable from the second phone into the
ATA’s Phone2 port.
3. Power on the ATA by plugging its power supply into an AC outlet and then plugging the power
cable into the power supply port on the back of the ATA. The ATA will power on, and the button on
top of the ATA will begin to blink.
CONFIGURE AN IP ADDRESS
In order to properly set up your CafeFone account and network settings, your ATA must be assigned an IP
address.
Your ATA’s IP address can be dynamic (DHCP) or static. To configure your ATA for DHCP, continue to the
next section, DHCP Configuration. To configure your ATA with a static IP address, skip to the Static IP
Configuration section on page 2.

CONFIGURE THE ATA TO USE DHCP
To configure your ATA to use DHCP:
1. Pick up the handset of the phone connected to the ATA, and then press the button on top of the
ATA. The system announces, “Configuration Menu. Enter menu number followed by the # key…”
2. Press 20# on the phone’s keypad to access the DHCP menu. The system announces, “Enter value.”
3. Press 1# to enable DHCP. The system announces, ”You entered ‘1.’ To change, press 1; to review,
press 2; to save, press 3; to review your saved value, press 4; or press the pound key (#) to exit.”
4. Press 3on the phone’s keypad to save the settings. The system announces, ”Value saved.
Configuration Menu…”
5. Place the phone’s handset back on the phone to hang up. The light on top of the device will flash red
for a second.
Note: If the ATA continues to flash the red light for more than two minutes, it is not connected to a DHCP server.
Configure the ATA with a static IP address instead. Refer to the Static IP Configuration section on page 2.
6. To confirm the IP address assigned to the ATA, pick up the handset of the phone connected to the
ATA, and then press the button on top of the ATA. The system announces, “Configuration Menu.
Enter menu number followed by the # key…”
7. Press 80# on the phone’s keypad to hear the IP address. When the system announces the ATA’s IP
address, write it down.
Note: To repeat the IP address announcement, press 80# again.
Note: If the system announces the IP address as “0.0.0.0,”there could be two possible causes. The first possibility is
that the network to which the ATA is connected does not have a DHCP server. If this is the case, skip to the
Static IP Configuration section on page 2. The second possibility is that the DHCP server has been unable to
assign an IP address to the ATA. If that is the case, notify your network administrator of the problem.
8. Place the phone’s handset back on the phone to hang up. To continue configuring the ATA for
CafeFone, skip to the Configuring Account and Network Settings section on page 4.
CONFIGURE THE ATA TO USE STATIC IP ADDRESSING
To configure the ATA with a static IP address:
1. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or IT Administrator, and obtain the following
information:
IP address
Default Gateway address
Subnet Mask address
Primary DNS Server address
Secondary DNS Server address (optional)
