[cisco-voip] ATA 186 question

[Lisa Notarianni]

Hello All-

Just following up on my question and your responses (which I greatly appreciated so many).

We decided to bite the bullet and purchase ATA-192s. However, we found that as we investigate building by building, many endpoint/devices are no longer used so the quantity of ATAs needed is almost half of what we anticipated.

Basically someone removed the fax machine or no longer uses a cordless phone or whatever it was at the end of that connection and they never informed us over the years, as staff have come and gone, that the use of these devices greatly changed.

Thanks again,

Lisa

 Please let us know what your final solution is. Whether one switch with one ATA, or 100/100.  It’s good to know.

Hello,

There is also the option of keeping a few of the switches that were refreshed to use for the ATAs.

Thanks,

James

Something to try is to get a cheap DLINK or Linksys switch and insert it between the new 9300uxm and the ata.  It might give you some options to get them working until you can replace them.

Thank you all for your quick responses.  We will go beg for funding and replace the ATAs.  We cannot set speed to 10 since it is not an option according to our network engineer.

You might want to double check that. From this, 17.3, it shows 10 is a valid option.

We just began Cisco switch upgrade to 9300s and ran into an unexpected issue.

We have many ATA 186s out there (about 100) and did not budget for replacement as we were gratefully approved for the massive overhaul of the switches.  This ended up being an unforeseen glitch.

We cannot get the ATA 186s to work on this switch with this IOS version:                               1 65 C9300-48UXM 17.03.04 CAT9K_IOSXE INSTALL
However, the 186s are working on this switch with this IOS version:                                          1 64 C9300-48P 16.9.5 CAT9K_IOSXE INSTALL

I know it is not an apples to apples comparison but I was wondering if anyone had a workaround for the newer model/IOS.

We believe the problem is that the ATA186s are hard coded at 10Mbps/half duplex.  Even if we change the switch port parameter from 0x00000000 to 0x000000ff  the ATA will not register.  The switch port is also configured at duplex auto but the slowest we can make the port is 100Mbps.

Is this not possible?  I am hoping you Cisco geniuses have a solution 😊
