[ATA] ATA Operation
The optional ATA allows the integration of non-Synapse analog devices into the Synapse system. Only one ATA can be used with
a Synapse system. The ATA allows:
One or two analog phones (POTS) to share the phone lines and wiring with the Synapse system
The Synapse system to share the phone lines and wiring with one fax machine
Paging of a single- or multi-zone overhead paging (OHP) system from a Deskset
Routing MoH audio input to outside held and parked calls
Storage of Group Mailbox messages and access of these message from Desksets.
When the ATA is initially powered and connected to your LAN, the two FXS ports are configured as POTS phone lines and assigned
the next available extension numbers. ATA extension numbers do not appear in the Extension list on Deskset screens. They do,
however, appear on Call Logs, Redial lists, and Message lists. The two ATA extensions do not count toward the 100-extension
limit of the Synapse system.
Configure the interface to these analog devices through the WebUI. See
In addition, one 10/100BT Ethernet port is provided for communication with the Synapse network. The front panel LCD and
buttons allow network configuration, firmware upgrades, and information functions.
