CME 8.6 - ATA 187 - not working

[philippe.cousineau]

Hi,

I think we can create a post on that...  seems that the ATA 187 is not working on CME until July 2011 ?

I saw that on some other post.

Anyone have more detail regarding that ?

thanks

This is the only thing we have, but nothing else..

Try this - I just did with an ATA187 and CME 8.6, and had things working

1) Lie to CME and tell it that the device is an 7961

2) 'create profile' to generate the XML config file

3) rename / copy the XML config file (SEPxxxxx.cnf.xml) to ATAxxxxx.cnf.xml (since the ATA has a different filename structure than the 7961).

4)reboot, and enjoy

Note: I haven't fully vetted all the extra 'what if's with this, but I do have an ATA187 registered and it can make/take calls.
