New and Changed Features

- DNS NAPTR Support

- Secure Line Setup

- SIP Proxy Redundancy Enhancement

- Support Maximum of 12 SRV Records in a Query

DNS NAPTR Support

You can use the Name Authority Pointer (NAPTR) to allow the ATA to automatically determine and select the appropriate transport protocol for the Line 1 and Line 2 (PHONE 1 and PHONE 2).

To enable this feature, use the SIP Transport field under the SIP Settings section from Voice > Line (n) of the ATA administration web page. Set the value of the field to AUTO.

When you enable the feature, the line determines the protocol based on the NAPTR records on the DNS server. The ATA uses the protocol specified in the record that has the lowest order and preference value. When there are multiple records with the same order and preference value, the ATA looks for a protocol within the records, in the following order of preference: UDP, TCP, and TLS. The ATA uses the highest priority protocol that it finds in a record.

Secure Line Setup

You can configure a line to only accept secure calls. If the line is configured to only accept secure calls, then any calls the line makes will be secure. You can configure to automatically select RTP or SRTP based on the transport. If SIP transport is set to TLS, the ATA automatically chooses SRTP, else the ATA chooses RTP.

To enable this feature, use the Secure Call Option under the Call Feature Settings section from Voice > Line (n) of the ATA administration web page.

SIP Proxy Redundancy Enhancement

The SIP Proxy Redundancy enhancements are:

- Increase support for up to 6 NAPTR records and 12 SRV records in a DNS query

- Add ability to seamless switch between different SIP transport protocols during server failover and failback

- Add ability to disable SIP proxy failback. Set the Proxy Fallback Intvl parameter to 0 in the ATA administration web page.

- Retain an active call on the fallback server until after the call completes. After the call completes, if the primary server is available and the failback conditions are met, then perform the failback.

Where to Find More Information

- Cisco ATA 191 and ATA 192 Analog Telephone Adapter Administration Guide for Multiplatform Firmware

Support Maximum of 12 SRV Records in a Query

The maximum number of the DNS SRV records supported in a query increases from 5 to 12.

Before the 11.2(2) release, the maximum number of the DNS SRV records is 5.

Phone Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect phone audio and, in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

- Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan.

- Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack.

Caller Identification and Other Phone Functions

Caller identification or other phone functions have not been verified with third-party applications for the visually or hearing impaired.
