ATA190 and Motorola DECT Phone issue

[Frank Janka]

Hi,

I have the problem that a DECT phone behind a ATA190 does ring poorly. The ringtone is delayed, than it stops ringing, than it starts again after 5 seconds. Than the display goes into onhook mode. When you hook off you got the call.

It seems that the ringing signal issn´t recognized correctly from the DECT phone.

Any Ideas?

Cisco analogue gateways (ATA & VGs) don't tend to emit the required voltage (-48V) for ringing. Many devices are quite tolerant of this bad behavior by Cisco, but occasionally you find devices (Such as your Motorola DECT base station) that are a little bit more sensitive to ringing voltage.
