Cisco Systems ATA186I2ARF manual Refreshing or Resetting the Cisco ATA, Procedure

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP

Refreshing or Resetting the Cisco ATA

You can access the web configuration page from any graphics-capable browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape. This provides easy initial access to the Cisco ATA configuration within the administrator’s private network.

Follow these steps to set parameters using the web configuration page:

Procedure

Step 1 Make sure that your PC and the Cisco ATA are already networked and visible to each another. Step 2 Open your web browser.

Step 3 Enter the URL for your configuration page. The default URL for the web server is:

http://IP Address/dev

For example, the configuration page for a Cisco ATA with the IP address 192.168.3.225 is:

http://192.168.3.225/dev

Step 4 Select the values for the items that you want to configure. See Chapter 5, “Parameters and Defaults,” for a complete list of parameters and their definitions. Also see Table 4-3 on page 4-12for an alphabetical listing of configurable features and references to their corresponding parameters.

Note Cisco strongly recommends that you set a password. Use the UIPassword parameter to configure a password, after which you are prompted for the password whenever you attempt to change a parameter value. Configuration parameters cannot be accessed through the voice configuration menu if the password contains one or more letters and can be changed only by using the web interface or the TFTP configuration method.

Step 5 Click apply to save your changes.

The Cisco ATA automatically refreshes its configuration.

Step 6 Close your web browser.

Refreshing or Resetting the Cisco ATA

Whenever you make configuration changes to your Cisco ATA configuration file, you can refresh or reset the Cisco ATA for these configuration changes to immediately take effect. If you do not refresh or reset the Cisco ATA, the configuration changes will take effect the next time the Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server, which occurs based on the configured value of the CfgInterval parameter.

Note A refresh procedure will update the Cisco ATA configuration file. A reset procedure will also update the Cisco ATA configuration file, and will additionally power-down and power-up the Cisco ATA. A reset should not be necessary if your only goal is to update the configuration file.
