Calling Party
Control
Calling Party Control (CPC) signals to the called party
equipment that the calling party has hung up during a
connected call by removing the voltage between the tip
and ring momentarily. This feature is useful for auto-
answer equipment, which then knows when to disengage.
CPC is configured in the Regional, Line, and PSTN Line
tabs. See “ATA Voice Field Reference,” on page121.
Report Generation
and Event Logging
The ATA device reports a variety of status and error
reports to assist service providers to diagnose problems
and evaluate the performance of their services. The
information can be queried by an authorized agent, using
HTTP with digested authentication, for instance. The
information may be organized as an XML page or HTML
page. Report Generation and Event Logging are
configured in the System, Line, and PSTN Line tabs. See
“ATA Voice Field Reference,” on page121.
Syslog and Debug
Server Records
Syslog and Debug Sever Records log more details than
Report Generation and Event Logging. Using the
configuration parameters, the ATA device allows you to
select which type of activity/events should be logged.
Syslog and Debug Server allow the information captured
to be sent to a Syslog Server. Syslog and Debug Server
Records are configured in the System, Line, and PSTN
Line tabs. See “ATA Voice Field Reference,” on page121.
SIP Over TCP To guarantee state-oriented communications, SPA2102
and SPA3102 devices allow you to choose TCP as the
transport protocol for SIP. This protocol is “guaranteed
delivery”, which assures that lost packets are
retransmitted. TCP also guarantees that the SIP packages
are received in the same order that they were sent. As a
result, TCP overcomes the main disadvantages of UDP. In
addition, for security reasons, most corporate firewalls
block UDP ports. With TCP, new ports do not need to be
opened or packets dropped, because TCP is already in
use for basic activities such as Internet browsing or e-
commerce. SIP over TCP is configured in the Line tabs.
See “ATA Voice Field Reference,” on page121.
