Cisco ATA 191 and ATA 192 Multiplatform ATAs Officially Certified

Cisco has released the next-generation replacement of the venerable SPA112 ATA, one of the company's most widely deployed ATAs which was declared EOL (End of Life) in the summer of 2020.

The ATA 191-MPP and ATA 192-MPP are part of Cisco’s line of best-in-class small business voice gateways and ATAs, designed to support office or residential communication needs.

The underlying technology has a strong pedigree in the SIP industry, having started out in the early days as Sipura Technology, which was wisely acquired by Cisco and branded as Linksys, then eventually promoted to the official Cisco brand.

Features of the ATA 191 and ATA 192

The ATA191-MPP and ATA 192-MPP bring analog devices to the IP world by

allowing existing devices to function as IP devices in your network.

Both models feature two RJ11 ports that work with any standard analog phone device, in addition to an RJ45 port for Ethernet (ATA 192 includes an extra port), and are designed to connect analog fax machines to T.38. Each port can be used simultaneously and supports voice calls or fax sessions.

The ATA 192 includes an integrated high-performance router to extend local network connectivity.

The Cisco ATA 191-MPP and Cisco ATA 192-MPP models build upon the success of the SPA112/122, offering updates to the security of both media and signaling and a dedicated Problem Reporting Tool or PRT button that improves serviceability for log collection and problem reporting. Other new features include:

• Adoption of image authentication
• Secure boot
• Secure shell (SSH)

Customers will also appreciate the greater cost-effectiveness of these devices, as the ATA191-MPP and ATA 192-MPP support all/most telephony voice devices, such as overhead paging adapters and answering machines. This functionality allows users to extend their investments in existing analog fax infrastructure while allowing for a smooth transition to full-fledged T.38 service.
