Chapter3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SIP
Refreshing or Resetting the CiscoATA
You can access the web configuration page from any graphics-capable browser, such as
MicrosoftInternet 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 Chapter5, “Parameters and Defaults,” for
a complete list of parameters and their definitions. Also see Table4-3 on page 4-12 for an alphabetical
listing of configurable features and references to their corresponding parameters.
Note Cisco strongly recommends that you set a password. Use the UIPassword pa rameter 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 CiscoATA 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 CiscoATA, 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 CfgInte rval parameter.
Note A refresh procedure will update the CiscoATA configuration file. A reset procedure will also update the
CiscoATA configuration file, and will additionally power-down and power-up the CiscoATA. A reset
should not be necessary if your only goal is to update the configu ration file.
