Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the ATA 190 on Your Network
Adding the ATA 190 to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database
Adding the ATA 190 to the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Database
Before installing the ATA 190, you must choose a method for adding the devices to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. These sections describe the methods:
•
Adding the ATA 190 with Auto-Registration, page 2-6
•
Adding the ATA 190 with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, page 2-6
Table 2-2
provides an overview of these methods for adding the ATA 190 to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
5.
Requesting the Configuration File.
The TFTP server has configuration files, which define
parameters for connecting to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and other information for the
ATA 190.
See
Understanding Phone Configuration Files,
page 2-3
.
6.
Contacting Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
The configuration file defines how the ATA 190
communicates with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and provides a device with its load ID. After
obtaining the file from the TFTP server, the device attempts
to make a connection to the highest priority Cisco
Unified Communications Manager on the list. If the
security profile of the device is configured for secure
signaling (encrypted or authenticated), and the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager is set to secure mode,
the device makes a TLS connection. Otherwise, it makes a
nonsecure TCP/UDP connection.
