Analog Terminal
Adapter
After you have enabled the Auto Discover feature, connect the Analog
Terminal Adapter (ATA) to the same network segment as the one on
which the NCP resides. To connect the ATA:
1 Connect the AC power converter provided with the ATA to the power
connector on the ATA. Connect the other end of the power converter to
an AC power outlet.
If you are using a powered Ethernet cable with your 3C10400B ATA, see
the
“Using Power over Ethernet with a 3C10400B ATA” next. The
3C10120B cannot use a powered Ethernet cable due to its power

2 Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable to the ATA RJ-45 connector that has
no icon beside it. Connect the other end of the Category 5 Ethernet cable
to the LAN on which the NCP is located.
3 Wait 2 minutes (more on a system with many devices) for the NBX system
to discover the ATA.
4 If the ATA is connected to a fax machine, configure the port for fax
usage:
a Open the NBX NetSet utility and go to Telephone Configuration >
ATA .
b Select the ATA from the list and click its extension.
c Enable the check box labeled Fax Machine , then click Apply .

ATA device, the audio may be unusable. If you configure the port for fax
