2.3.2 Installing the Mediant 1000 in a 19-inch Rack
You can install the Mediant 1000 in a standard 19-inch rack either by placing it on a shelf pre-
installed in the rack (preferred method), or by attaching it directly to the rack’s frame. If the rack is
without shelves, it is advised to acquire shelves. Mounting the Mediant 1000 in a rack without
shelves requires you to directly attach the Mediant 1000 integral front brackets and the user-
adapted rear brackets (not supplied) to the rack’s frame.
Note: Users assembling the rear brackets by themselves should note the following:
• The distance between the screws on each bracket is 28 mm.
• To attach the brackets, use 4-40 screws with a maximal box penetration
length of 3.5 mm.
¾ To place the Mediant 1000 on a 19-inch rack’s shelf, take these 2 steps:
1. Place the Mediant 1000 on a pre-installed shelf.
2. It's recommended to attach the Mediant 1000 integral front brackets to the rack frame to
prevent it from sliding off the shelf during cabling. Use standard 19-inch rack bolts (not
provided) to fasten the front of the Mediant 1000 to the frame of the rack.
¾ To install the Mediant 1000 in a rack without shelves, take these 2 steps:
1. Position the Mediant 1000 in the 19-inch rack and align the front and rear bracket holes to
the desired holes in the vertical tracks of the 19-inch rack.
2. Use standard 19-inch rack bolts (not provided) to fasten the brackets to the rack frame.
Rack Mount Safety Instructions (UL)
When installing the chassis in a rack, be sure to implement the following safety
instructions recommended by Underwriters Laboratories:
• Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by
the manufacturer.
• Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips.)
Mediant 1000 Analog & Digital
Fast Track Guide 10 Document #: LTRT-83501
2.4 Cabling the Mediant 1000
Protective Earthing
The equipment is classified as Class I EN60950 and UL60950 and must be earthed at all
times. Units providing power sockets with three pins must be connected by service
personnel to a socket-outlet with a protective earthing connection.
¾ To cable the Mediant 1000, take these 8 steps:
1. The Mediant 1000 must be permanently earthed using an equipment-earthing conductor.
Connect an electrically earthed strap of 16 AWG wire (minimum) to the chassis earthing
screw, using the supplied washer. The connection to the protective earthing must be in
accordance with the regulations enforced in the country of installation.
2. For Mediant 1000 digital interfaces: Connect the E1/T1 trunk cables to the RJ-48c ports
on the I/O module(s). Connect the other ends of the trunk cables to your PBX/PSTN switch.
For a 1+1 or 2+2 fallback option, connect trunks 1 and 3 to your PBX, and trunks 2 and 4 to
the PSTN. If the power fails, a relay connects trunks 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 (in the same module),
acting as a fallback for PSTN trunks. RJ-48c trunk connectors are wired according to Figure
2-1 below.
To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG min wire to connect T1 or E1
ports to the PSTN.

on a label located on the underside of the Mediant 1000.
5. Verify that the check box to the right of the ‘Client MAC’ field is selected. This enables the
particular client in the BootP tool (if the client is disabled, no replies are sent to BootP
requests).
6. In the ‘Client Name’ field, enter a descriptive name for this client so that it's easier to
remember to which gateway the record refers. For example, this name could refer to the
location of the gateway.
7. In the ‘IP’ field, enter the IP address you want to assign the gateway. Use the normal dotted
decimal format.
8. In the ‘Subnet’ field, enter the subnet mask you want to assign the gateway. Use the normal
dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is incorrect, the
gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP reset is applied.

Figure 3-3: Mediant 1000 / MEGACO 'Quick Setup' Screen
Fast Track Guide 3. Configuring the Mediant 1000
Version 5.0 17 October 2006
¾ To configure basic MEGACO parameters, take these 16 steps:
1. If your network features a DNS server, in the ‘DNS Primary Server IP’ and ‘DNS Secondary
Server IP’ fields, enter the primary and secondary DNS servers' IP address (clarify with your
network administrator).
2. If your network features a DHCP server, from the ‘Enable DHCP’ drop-down list, select
‘Enable’; the ‘IP Address’, ‘Subnet Musk’, and ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ fields are
disabled. When the gateway is configured for DHCP, it attempts to contact the DHCP server
to obtain networking parameters (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and
primary/secondary DNS server).
3. Under the ‘Trunk Configuration’ group, select the ‘Protocol Type’ you use. Note that the
Trunk Configuration parameters are global, and apply to all trunks. To configure different
parameters per trunk, refer to Section 3.6 on page 25.
4. In the ‘Framing Method’ field, select the ‘Framing Method’ you use (for E1 trunks, always set
the Framing Method to ‘Extended Super Frame’).
5. From the ‘Clock Master’ drop-down list, select the trunk clock source. Choose either
‘Recovered’ (the clock is recovered from the trunk; default) or ‘Generated’ (the trunk’s clock
source is provided by the internal TDM bus clock source, according to the parameter ‘TDM
Bus Clock Source’). For detailed information on the parameter ‘TDM Bus Clock Source’,
refer to the Mediant 1000 MEGACO User’s Manual.
6. From the ‘Line Code’ drop-down list, select the Line Code: ‘B8ZS’ (bipolar 8-zero
substitution) only for T1; ‘HDB3’ (high-density bipolar 3) for E1; ‘AMI’ (alternate mark
inversion) for both E1 and T1 spans.
7. From the ‘ISDN Termination Side’ drop-down list (only for ISDN protocols), select ‘User Side’
when PSTN or PBX is configured as ‘Network side’ and vice versa. If the Mediant 1000 ISDN
termination side is unknown, choose ‘User Side’, then navigate to the ‘Alarms’ screen by
clicking the Home button. If the D-channel alarm is indicated, choose ‘Network Side’.
8. In the ‘Control Protocol Type’ field, select the control protocol type you use.
9. In the ‘Call Agent IP’ field, enter the Call Agent IP address if your enterprise’s network
doesn’t feature a DNS server that automatically defines the Call Agent’s IP address.
10. In the ‘Call Agent Port’ field, enter the Call Agent port. The default port is 2944.
11. In the ‘Call Agent Domain Name’ field, enter the Call Agent domain name. When using DNS
server, enter the domain name of the Call Agent operating with the Mediant 1000. The DNS
server automatically detects the Call Agent’s IP address from the domain name.
12. In the ‘Physical Name Pattern’ field, enter an intuitive name to identify the gateway’s physical
termination in the format: [name1]*[name2]*. The first asterisk represents the number of the
trunk; the second asterisk represents the number of the endpoint. For example, ‘tgw/t*/c*’.
13. In the ‘Logical RTP Name Pattern’ field, enter an intuitive name to identify the gateway’s
RTP termination in the format: [name]*. The asterisk represents an internal identification
assigned by the gateway to the RTP termination. For example, 'gw/rtp/*'.
14. In the ‘Logical ATM Name Pattern’ field, enter an intuitive name to identify the gateway’s
ATM termination (if used) in the format: [name]*. The asterisk represents an internal
identification assigned by the gateway to the ATM termination. For example, 'gw/atm/*'.
15. Click Reset, and then click OK; the Mediant 1000 applies the changes and restarts.
16. After the gateway is reset, if different configuration is required per trunk, refer to Section 3.6
on page 25. Otherwise, set the ‘PCM Law Select’ field (Advanced Configuration > TDM
Bus Settings), select ‘A-law’ for E1 trunks and ‘µ-Law’ for T1 trunks.
Note: For MEGACO users, continue with Section 3.6 on page 25.

3.4.2 Configuring Basic H.323 Parameters
After accessing the Embedded Web Server (refer to Section 3.3 on page 15), the H.323 ‘Quick
Setup’ screen is displayed, shown in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4: Mediant 1000 / H.323 'Quick Setup' Screen
¾ To configure basic H.323 parameters, take these 8 steps:
1. If the Mediant 1000 is connected to a router with NAT enabled, perform the following
procedure (if it isn’t, leave the ‘NAT IP Address’ field undefined):
• Determine the “public” IP address assigned to the router (by using, for instance, router
Web management). Enter this public IP address in the ‘NAT IP Address’ field.
• Enable the DMZ configuration on the residential router for the LAN port where the
Mediant 1000 gateway is connected. This enables unknown packets to be routed to the
DMZ port.
2. When working with a Gatekeeper, under ‘H.323 Parameters’, set ‘Working with Gatekeeper’
field to ‘Yes’, and then enter the IP address of the primary Gatekeeper in the field
‘Gatekeeper IP Address’. When no Gatekeeper is used, the internal routing table is used to
route the calls.
3. Leave parameter ‘Enable Annex D/T.38 FAX Relay’ at its default unless your technical
requirements differ.
4. Select the coder (i.e., vocoder) that best suits your VoIP system requirements. The default
coder is G.723.1 30 msec. To configure the entire list of coders you want the Mediant 1000
to use, refer to the Mediant 1000 User’s Manual.

entered in the ‘IP Address’ field.
b. Click the Submit button; the ‘Tel to IP Routing’ table is automatically updated.
c. Click Quick Setup; the ‘Quick Setup’ screen opens.
For more information on the ‘Tel to IP Routing’ table refer to the Mediant 1000 H.323 User’s
Manual.
6. Enable E1/T1 B-channels (applicable only for Mediant 1000 digital interfaces) by performing
the following:
a. Click the arrow button next to the ‘Trunk Group Table’ label; the ‘Trunk Group Table’
screen opens.
b. From the ‘Trunk ID’ drop-down list, select the trunk number that you want to enable.
c. In the ‘Channels’ field, enter the number of B-channels that you want to enable.
d. In the adjacent ‘Phone Number’ field, enter the starting phone number (these are virtual
numbers used only to define enabled B-channels).
e. Click the Submit button; the ‘Trunk Group Table’ table is automatically updated.
f. Click Quick Setup; the ‘Quick Setup’ screen opens.
7. Click the Reset button, and then at the prompt, click OK; the Mediant 1000 applies the
changes and restarts.
8. After the gateway is reset, configure the Mediant 1000 analog ports (refer to Section 3.5 on

3.4.3 Configuring Basic SIP Parameters
After accessing the Embedded Web Server (refer to Section 3.3 on page 15), the SIP ‘Quick
Setup’ screen is displayed, shown in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5: Mediant 1000/SIP 'Quick Setup' Screen
¾ To configure basic SIP parameters, take these 10 steps:
1. If the Mediant 1000 is connected to a router with NAT enabled, perform the following
procedure (if it isn’t, leave the ‘NAT IP Address’ field undefined):
a. Determine the “public” IP address assigned to the router (by using, for instance, router
Web management). Enter this public IP address in the ‘NAT IP Address’ field.
b. Enable the DMZ configuration on the residential router for the LAN port where the
Mediant 1000 gateway is connected. This enables unknown packets to be routed to the
DMZ port.
2. Under ‘SIP Parameters’, enter the Mediant 1000 domain name in the field ‘Gateway Name’.
If the field is not specified, the Mediant 1000 IP address is used instead (default).
3. When working with a Proxy server, set ‘Working with Proxy’ field to ‘Yes’, and then enter the
IP address of the primary Proxy server in the field ‘Proxy IP address’. When no Proxy is
used, the internal routing table is used to route the calls.
4. In the field ‘Proxy Name’, enter the Proxy name. If Proxy name is used, it replaces the Proxy
IP address in all SIP messages. This means that messages are still sent to the physical
Proxy IP address, but the SIP URI contains the Proxy name instead.
5. Configure ‘Enable Registration’ to ‘Yes’ or ‘No’:
• ‘No’ = the Mediant 1000 does not register to a Proxy server/Registrar (default).
• ‘Yes’ = the Mediant 1000 registers to a Proxy server/Registrar at power up and every
‘Registration Time’ seconds. For detailed information on the parameter ‘Registration
Time’ refer to the Mediant 1000 SIP User’s Manual.
