Call Command Example

Chapter 6 Call Commands

Table 6-3 Action Identifiers (continued)

c	Forward on busy to the given number

d	Forward on no answer to the given number

e	Cancel call forward

f	CLIP for the next call

g	CLIR for the next call

h	Enable Call Waiting for the next call

i	Disable Call Waiting for the next call

x	Enable Fax Mode for the next call

y	Disable Fax Mode for the next call

In addition to call commands that you configure, the Cisco ATA has a default list of call commands to handle common call scenarios. Configured call commands overwrite default call commands. If any Context-Identifier or Input-Sequence elements appear in both the default Call Command string and the manually entered string, the manually entered value takes precedence.

The following string shows a sample Call Command:

Bf;BAN;CA;CN;CAf;OF;Df;EB;I@f;OF;H@f;OA;Lo;BAf;BA;Mo;PA;ND;CAf;OA;Of;GA;Pf;HA;Qf;OA;Rf;OA;

Sf;OA;TD;CAf;OF;Uf;GF;Vf;HF;Wf;FF;Xf;AF;Yf;AF;Zf;AP;bf;OF;af;OP;

In this section, the Call Command string is broken down into its components as follows:

Call Command Fragment;

Context-Identifier

Input-Sequence1; Action1 Action2;

(optional) Input-Sequence2; Action1 Action2;

Note If you use a second input sequence, this sequence follows the Action Identifier pair without a separating semicolon.

Refer to the preceding tables to determine the meanings of the identifiers.

ATA 188 specifications

The Cisco Systems ATA 188 is a versatile Analog Telephone Adapter designed to facilitate the integration of traditional telephone systems with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks. This device has been key in bridging the gap between legacy telephony and modern IP-based communication, allowing users to leverage their existing analog phones while enjoying the benefits of digital connectivity.

One of the main features of the ATA 188 is its ability to connect regular analog phones to a VoIP network, enabling users to make and receive calls over the internet. This significantly reduces calling costs, especially for long-distance and international calls. The ATA 188 supports two phone lines, allowing simultaneous voice calls. This dual-line capability makes it a suitable choice for small businesses or home offices that require multiple lines without the need for extensive infrastructure.

The device is equipped with various technologies that enhance its functionality. It supports the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323, making it compatible with a wide range of VoIP service providers. Additionally, the ATA 188 features Quality of Service (QoS) settings, which prioritize voice traffic over the internet, ensuring clear voice quality without interruptions or delays. This is essential for maintaining a professional communication experience, especially in business environments.

Another characteristic of the ATA 188 is its user-friendly configuration interface. It allows users to easily set up and manage their devices through a web-based portal. The configuration process is straightforward, with options to adjust settings such as codec selection, call features including call waiting, and call forwarding functionalities.

Security is also a priority for the ATA 188, as it provides robust protocols to protect call data. The device supports Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt voice traffic and manage signaling securely. This ensures that sensitive conversations remain confidential.

Overall, the Cisco Systems ATA 188 is a reliable and efficient solution for users looking to transition from traditional telephony to VoIP. Its dual-line capacity, compatibility with multiple VoIP standards, user-friendly configuration, and built-in security features make it a valuable asset for both personal and professional communication solutions. In an ever-evolving telecommunications landscape, the ATA 188 remains a relevant and practical choice for integrating legacy telephony with modern internet-based services.
