Providing Power to the ATA 187
Understanding How the ATA 187 Interacts with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is an open and industry-standard call processing system.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager software sets up and tears down calls between phones
connected to the ATA 187, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager manages the components of the IP telephony system—the
phones, the access gateways, and the resources necessary for features such as call conferencing and route
planning. Cisco Unified Communications Manager also provides:
•
Firmware for devices
•
Authentication and encryption (if configured for the telephony system)
•
Configuration and CTL files via the TFTP service
•
Phone registration
•
Call preservation, so that a media session continues if signaling is lost between the primary
Communications Manager and a phone
For information about configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager to work with the IP devices
described in this chapter, see

Unified Communications Manager System Guide

reconfigure equipment before using the Service or Emergency Calling Service dialing.
