The Cisco ATA 191 Analog Telephone Adapter serves as a practical bridge between traditional analog telephony and modern IP-based networks. By acting as a 2-port handset-to-Ethernet adapter, it allows businesses to integrate legacy analog devices—such as standard telephones, fax machines, and overhead paging systems—into a digital communication environment.
This solution is specifically designed to help organizations transition to Voice over IP (VoIP) or cloud-based unified communications without needing to replace their entire existing infrastructure. By connecting analog equipment to this adapter, companies can protect their previous hardware investments while enjoying the cost-effectiveness and advanced features of modern IP telephony.
Product overview
The Cisco ATA 191 is a versatile device featuring two standard FXS ports, which can be configured independently to support two separate Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) registrations. It is an ideal choice for a variety of settings, ranging from small offices and enterprise networks to cloud-based unified communications services.
Beyond its core functionality, the adapter is built for reliability and ease of use. It simplifies the migration process to pure VoIP by providing a stable and affordable path for businesses to modernize their communication systems. The device is compatible with Cisco call control platforms, such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CME), ensuring seamless integration into existing Cisco-managed environments.
Features and benefits
- High-Quality Audio: Delivers clear, natural voice communication through advanced preprocessing, echo cancellation, Voice Activity Detection (VAD), and Comfort Noise Generation (CNG).
- Simplified Management: Supports central provisioning and configuration via the Cisco Unified Communications Manager interface, making large-scale deployments much easier.
- Robust Security: Offers a comprehensive security framework for both media and signaling, including encrypted calling via Secure RTP (sRTP) and SIP over TLS.
- Enhanced Serviceability: Includes a dedicated Problem Reporting (PRT) button that streamlines log collection and troubleshooting for IT staff.
- Future-Ready Networking: Features an IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack capability, facilitating a smooth transition to IPv6 network standards.
- Flexible Fax Support: Enables reliable faxing through T.38 fax relay and G.711 fax pass-through.
- Comprehensive Telephony Services: Supports a wide array of standard calling features, including call forwarding, call waiting, caller ID, conference calling, and speed dial.
The Cisco ATA 191 Analog Telephone Adapter is a 2-port handset-to-Ethernet adapter that brings traditional analog telephony devices into the IP world.
