Cisco CME: ATA Configuration For Utilizing Both Ports

Here is how you configure an ATA in CME so that you can use both ports on the back.  Im using an ATA 186.  Here is the config for it:

ephone  40
 device-security-mode none
 mac-address 0026.CB3C.DAAD
 max-calls-per-button 2
 type ata
 button  1:30

ephone  41
 device-security-mode none
 mac-address 26CB.3CDA.AD01
 max-calls-per-button 2
 type ata
 button  1:30

Now, this implementation was for dial out only (fire alarm) that required two lines.  Notice that the two front characters are taken off the front and an '01' put on the back of the mac-address.  I also used the same DN (30).
