If it's a CICS you can use the built-in internal ATA port

Thanks Gens
how can i find the Built-in-internal ATA Port ..
and is it just one port to be used with one dn (jiust one devise) or can it be used for analog phone and fax and ..
Thanks

It will be pair 20 (yellow/slate) on the CO cable. Check out this FAQ for CICS wiring:

The ATA port is analog so you can connect more than one analog device to the port. Program it like any other extension for line access, ringing, prime line, etc.

Thanks Brian

 

[serge9]

there is a fax connected to the ATA port

 

[curlycord]

You can still install an external ATA onto a digital port in that case.

I found an Old ATA 2 in my Junk yard, could not locate the Power
i do not know if i will be able to find the power supply
or willl have to buy another ATA 2 all together

 

[serge9]

i got an ATA installed on port 102 dn 222
and test the ATA out
no dial tone

Thanks

Keep in mind, they have to initialize just like a digital phone. Leave it plugged in for a few minutes before you give up on it.

If it is shot, they're pretty cheap. (around $100)

 

[serge9]

Thanks Rikrodgers
it has bee connected for a few minute
and still dead
is there some setting i need to check beofre i give up on it

Thanks

 

[serge9]

i have it programmed as follow
102:222

line Access Pool A: Y
2 intercom keys
Prime line= Pool A
Hotline to External >(F78).

 

[serge9]

still no dial tone
sounds like the line is open?

 

[RikRodgers]

After re-reading your previous posts, yes, the ATA2 does need power applied directly to it. If you don't have the power supply for it, you'll need to get one.

If it doesn't work with power applied, you should probably get in touch with a local tech.

 

[serge9]

i got the power (the appropriate one)
it does not work , sound like the line is open
i got another one ATA Not ATA 2 which supposed to be ok
still
there munst be some wrong setting some where?
thanks

 

[RikRodgers]

Probably a cross connect, which can be taught, but not talked through.

Sorry we can't help more.

 

[serge9]

i did cables, corss connect, etc for many years

 

[RikRodgers]

Perfect...

You say you know what you're doing, then there's nothing we need to add, right?

What I'm getting at- All of us that post answers here do so free of charge, though we make our living at it from 9-5...

At some point, it does behoove us to provide on site service at charge, rather than typing away for your benefit while our wives harp at us for doing so.

If I were an accountant, I could provid free online advice to anyone needing advice this time of year, but if I did, I would be slitting my throat.

What do you do for a living?

I think you understand...

 

[serge9]

what i do is add, move and change of users (physical, on the switch and the required bixing if needed)
i work on norstar, merdian 1 61C
and presently trying to learn (on my own = reading)about Cisco VOIP while waiting for a course to be offered in my area

off course i do understand and i appreciat every ones generosity and imput

thanks again
