Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for MGCP
Voice Configuration Menu
Note Do not use the voice configuration menu to attempt to change any values that you configured by means
of the TFTP configuration file method. Whenever the Cisco ATA refreshes, it downloads its
ata<macaddress> configuration file or atadefault.cfg default configuration file from the TFTP server,
and the values in either of these files will overwrite the values of any corresponding parameters
configured with the voice configuration menu.
See Chapter 5, “Parameters and Defaults,” for a complete list of parameters and their definitions. Also
see Table 4-1 on page 4-5 for an alphabetical listing of configurable features and references to their
corresponding parameters.

Using the Voice Configuration Menu
To manually configure the Cisco ATA by using the voice configuration menu and the telephone keypad,
perform the following steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Connect an analog touch-tone phone to the port labeled Phone 1 on the back of the Cisco ATA.
Step 2 Lift the handset and press the function button located on the top of the Cisco ATA. You should receive
the initial voice configuration menu voice prompt.
Step 3 Using the telephone keypad, enter the voice menu code for the parameter that you want to configure or
the command that you want to execute, then press #. For a list of voice menu codes, see Appendix A,
“Voice Configuration Menu Codes.”
Table 3-6 lists the menu options that you need to configure basic IP connectivity for the Cisco ATA,
after which you can use the Cisco ATA web configuration page to configure additional parameters.
Note If you are using the voice configuration menu to statically configure the Cisco ATA IP address,
you must disable DHCP by setting its value to 0.
