Interactions with Other Cisco Unified IP Communications
Products
The ATA 191 enables you to communicate using voice over a data network. To provide this capability, the
ATA 191 depends upon and interacts with several other key Cisco Unified IP Telephony and Network
components, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager, DNS and DHCP servers, TFTP servers,
media resources, and so on.
To function in the IP telephony network, the ATA 191 must be connected to a networking device, such as a
Cisco Catalyst switch. You must also register the ATA 191 with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager
system before you can send and receive calls.
