| Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) |
An analog telephony adapter, or analog telephone adapter, (ATA) is a
device used to connect one or more standard analog telephones to a digital
and/or non-standard telephone system such as a Voice over IP based
network.
An ATA usually takes the form of a small box with a power adapter, one
Ethernet port, and one or more FXS telephone ports. Users can plug one or
more standard analog telephone devices into the ATA and the analog
device(s) will operate, usually transparently, on a VoIP network.
ATAs are used by many VoIP companies selling a telco-alternative
VoIP service, where the device is used to replace a user's connection to a
traditional telephone company. When sold in connection with a VoIP service,
the ATA is often locked so it cannot be used with a competing service, and the
user can only partly change its configuration. Some providers do sell devices
that are not locked and can be used with any compatible provider.
