Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Specifying a Preconfigured VLAN ID or Disabling VLAN IP Encapsulation

4.The Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server and downloads the Cisco ATA release software that contains the correct signaling image for the Cisco ATA to function properly.

Note If you are not using a TFTP server, you need to manually upgrade the Cisco ATA to the correct signaling image. For information on this procedure, see the “Upgrading the Signaling Image Manually” section on page 8-2.

5.The Cisco ATA looks for a Cisco ATA-specific configuration file (designated by the MAC address of the Cisco ATA and named ata<macaddress>) on the TFTP server and downloads this file if it exists.

6.If the Cisco ATA does not find the ata<macaddress> configuration file, it looks for the atadefault.cfg configuration file and downloads this file if it exists. This file can contain default values for the Cisco ATA to use.

Note When the Cisco ATA is downloading its DHCP configuration, the function button on the top panel blinks.

Specifying a Preconfigured VLAN ID or Disabling VLAN IP Encapsulation

If you want the Cisco ATA to use a preconfigured VLAN ID instead of using the Cisco Discovery Protocol to locate a VLAN, or if you want to disable VLAN IP encapsulation, refer to Table 3-1for a reference to the parameters and bits you may need to configure. Use the voice configuration menu to configure these parameters. (See the “Voice Configuration Menu” section on page 3-15for instructions on using this menu.) Also, refer to Table 3-2for a matrix that indicates which VLAN-related parameters and bits to configure depending on your network environment.
