Installing the Cisco ATA 186
This chapter provides information about installing the Cisco ATA 186.
English is the default language. For information on the upgrade process, see
Chapter 6, “Upgrading the Cisco ATA 186 Software.”
Installation Overview
The general steps necessary to install the Cisco ATA 186 are:
1. Plan the network and Cisco ATA 186 configuration.
2. Install the Ethernet connection.
3. Install and configure the other network devices; for example, gatekeeper if
you are using H.323 or proxy server if you are using SIP.
4. If you will be routing calls through the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN), install and configure the Gateway.
5. Install the Cisco ATA 186.
6. Configure the Cisco ATA 186.
7. Perform any troubleshooting and maintenance, including upgrading the
software if necessary.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco ATA 186 Network Requirements
Network Requirements
The Cisco ATA 186 acts as a terminal on an IP network. You need the following
equipment:
•One or two standard analog telephone handsets.
•Ethernet connection.
•Gatekeeper or proxy server—Currently, there must be a device running ITU
H.323 or RFC 2543bis SIP-complaint software. The gatekeeper must be
running the applicable version of software for the features and protocol you
want to use.
•Voice Packet Gateway—Required if you are connecting to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
•Fax machine (optional).
•If you are using a firewall, Cisco recommends that it be a Cisco PIX firewall,
Version 5 or later versions.
Safety Recommendations
To ensure general safety, follow these guidelines:
•Do not open or disassemble this product.
•Do not get this product wet or pour liquids into this device.
•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes
the equipment unsafe.

A—Phone 1 connector (RJ-11)
B—Phone 2 connector (RJ-11)
C—10Base-T Ethernet connector
D—12V power connector
Step 1 Place the Cisco ATA 186 near an electrical outlet. Connect the first telephone to
the PHONE 1 input port (A) on the rear panel of the Cisco ATA 186 by using a
telephone line cord with an RJ-11 connector. The PHONE 1 input port will be the
primary telephone line.
Caution Do not connect the Cisco ATA 186 PHONE input ports to the telephone wall
jack. To prevent damage to the device or building telephone wiring, connect
each Cisco ATA 186 PHONE port to a telephone only, never to a telephone
wall jack.
Step 2 You can connect a second telephone to the PHONE 2 input (B) by using a second
telephone line cord. The PHONE 2 input is the secondary telephone line.
Note If you are connecting only one telephone to the Cisco ATA 186, you must use
the PHONE 1 input; otherwise, the telephone cannot place calls.
Step 3 Connect one end of a 10-BaseT Ethernet cable (C) to a hub, switch, or broadband
modem (DSL, cable, and so on).
Step 4 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 input port (C) on the rear
panel of the Cisco ATA 186.
Note Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the Cisco ATA 186 to another
Ethernet device (such as a router or PC) without using a hub. Otherwise, use a
straight through Ethernet cable.
Step 5 Plug the AC power adaptor into an electrical outlet. Insert the power cord into the
rear panel of the unit (D). Each connected telephone should ring once, indicating
that the Cisco ATA 186 is powered and ready to use. When the Cisco ATA 186 is
properly connected and powered up, the green activity LED flashes. The activity
LED, labeled ACT, indicates network activity.

Caution To prevent overheating during operation, do not cover or block the air vents in
the top panel of the Cisco ATA 186.
If installation was successful, proceed to Chapter 3, “Configuring the
Cisco ATA 186.”
Verifying the Installation
If the phone does not ring and the function button does not flash after power-up,
check that the power adaptor is plugged into a working electrical outlet and that
the power cord is pushed securely into the connector. Additionally, verify that the
Ethernet connection is secure.
