Procedure

Step 1 Dial the first number.

Step 2 When the person you called answers, press the flash or receiver button on the telephone handset. This will put the first person you called on hold and a dial tone will sound.

Step 3 Dial the second person and speak normally when that person answers.

Step 4 Perform a hookflash, then press 2 on your telephone keypad to return to the first person. You can continue to switch back and forth between the two callers.

Step 5 To conference with both callers at the same time, perform a hookflash, then press 3 on the telephone keypad. Once you conference all three callers, the only way to drop a caller is for that caller to hang up.

Step 6 (Optional) To conference in additional callers, the last person called with a Cisco ATA can call an additional person, that new person can call someone else, and so on. This is known as “daisy-chaining.”

Call Waiting in the United States

If someone calls you while you are speaking on the telephone, you can answer by performing a hook flash. You cannot conference in all three callers, but the first person you called could call someone else and daisy-chain them into the conference.

When the Cisco ATA is configured to use Call Waiting by default, press *70 on your telephone keypad to disable Call Waiting for the duration of the next call.

Call Waiting in Sweden

If someone calls you while you are speaking on the telephone, you can answer by performing a hookflash then pressing 2 on your telephone keypad, or you can conference them with the person to whom you are already speaking by performing a hookflash then pressing 3. You can also perform a hookflash then press 3 later during the call to create a conference call.

Performing a hookflash then pressing 1 hangs up the first caller and answers the second call. If there is no answer after one minute, the caller receives three beeps and a busy signal.

To enable call waiting for Sweden, press *43#. When the Cisco ATA is configured to use Call Waiting by default, press #43# to disable Call Waiting for the duration of the next call.

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.
