Preface

Overview

The Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator's Guide for SCCP
(version 3.0) provides the information you need to install, configure and manage the Cisco ATA 186 and
Cisco ATA 188 on a Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) network.
This guide does not cover information related to the implementation of an SCCP Voice over IP (VoIP)
network.
Note The term Cisco ATA is used throughout this manual to refer to both the Cisco ATA 186 and the
Cisco ATA 188, unless differences between the Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 are explicitly
stated.

Audience

This guide is intended mainly for service providers and network administrators who administer VoIP
services using the Cisco ATA. Many of these tasks impact the ability of the Cisco ATA to function on
the network, and require an understanding of IP networking and telephony concepts. However, some
end-user procedures are included where necessary with instructions to the administrator about how to
provide the end user with the pertinent information.
