What is an ATA?
An Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) is a device used to connect one or more standard analog phones in order to use
them with other systems such as voice over IP (VoIP).
ATAs are supplied by certain suppliers of VoIP telephony to allow the user to replace the connection to a traditional
telephone company.
In this case the ATA may be locked and can only be used with the VoIP supplier from which it was
purchased.
