Overview
This section describes the hardware and software features of the Cisco ATA 187 Analog Telephone
Adaptor (ATA 187) and includes a brief overview of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
The ATA 187 analog telephone adaptors are handset-to-Ethernet adaptors that allow regular analog
phones to operate on IP-based telephony networks. The ATA 187 support two voice ports, each with an
independent phone number. The ATA 187 also has an RJ-45 10/100BASE-T data port.
