Solved: Cisco Analog Telephone Adaptor

t_kilany_2 · ‎02-16-2009

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have some confuse for which Cisco ATA I should order ATA186-I1-A or ATA186-I2-A?

I have captured the below text from Cisco web site:

"The Cisco ATA186-I1 and Cisco ATA188-I1 provide 600-ohm resistive impedance. The Cisco ATA186-I2 and Cisco ATA188-I2 provide 270 ohm + 750 ohm // 150-nF complex impedance. The impedance option is requested when you place your order and should match your specific application. If you are not sure of the applicable configuration, check your country or regional telephone impedance requirements."

This is exactly my problem, which one I should go for the 600-ohm or the complex impedance one?

Its almost impossible to get this information from the telephone service provider, is there any reference that I can use to till the right ATA to use in Saudi Arabia.

Regards,

Tarik

You should go with the complex impedance (I2 in the part number) for Saudi Arabia.

Hello,
I know that a document available on the Cisco Web site describes country per country the type of ATA impedance that should be ordered but after several searches, I cant't find it.

Does anybody knows where I can find it?

Thanks & Brgds,

Gael

Hi Gael,

I totaly agree with you, there is no place to find such document.

But when I try the following comand in Voice-port configuration

cptone {locale}

Country	*cptone locale* Command Entry**	Country	*cptone locale* Command Entry**
Argentina	ar	Lebanon	lb
Australia	au	Luxembourg	lu
Austria	at	Malaysia	my
Belgium	be	Mexico	mx
Brazil	br	Nepal	np
Custom 11	c1	Netherlands	nl
Custom 21	c2	New Zealand	nz
Canada	ca	Nigeria	ng
China	cn	Norway	no
Colombia	co	Pakistan	pk
Czech Republic	cz	Panama	pa
Denmark	dk	Peru	pe
Egypt	eg	Philippines	ph
Finland	fi	Poland	pl
France	fr	Portugal	pt
Germany	de	Russian Federation	ru
Ghana	gh	Saudi Arabia	sa
Great Britain	gb	Singapore	sg
Greece	gr	Slovakia	sk
Hong Kong	hk	Slovenia	si
Hungary	hu	South Africa	za
Iceland	is	Spain	es
India	in	Sweden	se
Indonesia	id	Switzerland	ch
Ireland	ie	Taiwan	tw
Israel	il	Thailand	th
Italy	it	Turkey	tr
Japan	jp	United States	us
Jordan	jo	Venezuela	ve
Kenya	Ke	Zimbabwe	zw
Korea Republic	kr

whereas {locale} one of the command entry in the above table based on your country, the output of that command does gave the answer.

on may case I have tried:

cptone SA

and I have got 600-ohm

Hi

I think there is a mistake... Our internal doc shows for Saudi Arabia it is I1 and for South Africa it is I2.
