ATA stands for Analogue Telephone Adapter. It connects to one of your router’s LAN ports and any ordinary phone. You don’t need to keep your computer running to make and receive calls (but it may vary with different Internet Service Providers [ISPs]). You will make and receive calls using the ordinary phone connected to your ATA.
