Cisco ATA Fax Adapter

What is a Cisco ATA Fax Adapter?

A Cisco ATA fax adapter converts a Voice over IP line to an analog line. This conversion allows your fax adapter to work as it did before switching to a VoIP phone system.

How to correctly connect the adapter

White: This is where the power cable should be connected

Red: This is where the internet cable should be connected, the other end of the cable should be connected to a wall jack, or another source of internet

Blue: This is where the analog line should be connected, the other end of this should be going to your fax machine in the Line or Phone port

What the status lights mean

Red: This is a busy/status light. If it is blinking, then a fax is being processed

Green: Power light

Blue: Internet link light, this should always be blinking, this signifies traffic being carried across it. If this light is off, then you do not have an internet connection

Pink: These are the phone status lights, phone one should always be lit green, if you have two fax lines, then both will be lit
