right that an unused port does try to connect to CM and at the least
generates lots of fails in the event logs. I go ahead and add the second
port into CM, so it can register, and I just don't configure a line on
it. This stops the error messages and perhaps stops calls dropping as you
describe.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>My
experience of ATA's and faxes is not good. We have a combination of faxes +
VG224 and faxes + ATA and I only seem to get problems with the ATA's. Quite
often they will get their knickers in a twist and stop giving dial tone,
and a power off / on sorts them out and they will then work again for
a few months. Other times I get problems with fax transmission, ranging
from failed sending / receiving to a fax being sent and received ok, but
the sending fax machine reports it didn't get delivered so it proceeds to
send it again...and again...and again... (very frustrating for the
recipient!) The solution to this one was to drop the speed of fax
transmission down to 14400 and this cured the problem.<br>
<br>
One thing to be wary of is that if the second ATA port is not being used, you
must disable it. If you don't you will get calls dropping as the ATA will reset
occasionally when the second port tries to talk to the CM, but as it isnt
configured it doesent get very far. If a call is in progress on port 1 at the
time it will get dropped.<br>
<br>
Faxes on our VG224's seem to work on the main with very
few problems (mostly fax passthrough, some fax relay). We have
CM 6.1.3.something_odd..... and are en-route to CM7 them CM8 over the course of
this year. <br>

Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
Can anyone explain to me what the pros and cons of ATA? We got both FXS
and ATA 186 for FAXing in a call manager 7 controled environment.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
