Understanding the ATA 190 Startup Process
When connecting to the VoIP network, the ATA 190 goes through a standard startup process, as described
in
Table 2-1
. Depending on your specific network configuration, not all of these process steps may occur
on your ATA 190.

1.
Obtaining Power.
The ATA 190 uses external power.
See
Providing Power to the ATA 190, page 2-2
.
2.
Loading the Stored Image.
The ATA 190 has non-volatile flash memory in which it
stores firmware images and user-defined preferences. At
startup, the phone runs a bootstrap loader that loads a
phone image stored in flash memory. Using this image, the
phone initializes its software and hardware.
3.
Obtaining an IP Address.
If the ATA 190 is using DHCP to obtain an IP address, the
device queries the DHCP server to obtain one. If you are
not using DHCP in your network, you must assign static IP
addresses to each device locally.
4.
Requesting the CTL file.
The TFTP server stores the CTL file. This file contains the
certificates necessary for establishing a secure connection
between the device and Cisco Unified Communications
Manager.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Security Guide,

Client
