Guided Setup
Your new Fax Adapter (commonly referred to as an Analog Telephone
Adapter or ATA) allows you to use an existing fax machine to send and
receive faxes through the Cloud PBX network. The phone number for
this ATA was included in an email you have already received.

Note: The USB port was designed by Polycom to accommodate a storage
device that enables local and remote access of stored files over the Internet
by authorized users. This setup is not utilized for Voice and this USB port
provides no special connectivity to the device.

CONNECT CABLES
Please follow the diagram below to install your ATA.

1. Connect your fax machine to the ATA by plugging one end of a
RJ-9 telephone cord into the green phone port on the ATA, and the
other end into the Line port on your fax machine.
2. Connect the included Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the
ATA and connect it to a switch or router in your network.
3. Connect the included power cable to the power port on the ATA
and plug in the power cable.
Only use the power supply designed for
your ATA to avoid damaging the ATA.
Connect 'Phone' to the 'Line In' on
your Fax, or use the RJ9 to connect
to a phone.
Connect 'Internet' directly to your
Router or Internet Connection

USING YOUR ATA
FAX MACHINE CONFIGURATION
If you are having problems with faxing, you may need to refer to your
fax machine owner’s manual and adjust the configuration on your fax
machine. For best performance with Cloud PBX:
•If your fax machine has an “ECM” (Error Correction Mode)
feature, please disable this function.
•Check your fax machine’s speed (sometimes called “Baud
Rate”), and set it to 9600 or lowest possible speed.
Once your fax machine has been plugged into the Phone 1 port on the
ATA, send a fax as you usually would with your fax machine.
If your fax number is new, make sure you have provided your fax
phone number to those who wish to send you faxes. Your fax machine
will receive faxes automatically once plugged into the fax adapter.
