2.3 Mounting the Mediant 1000

The Mediant 1000 can be mounted on a desktop or installed in a standard 19-inch rack.

2.3.1 Mounting the Mediant 1000 on a Desktop

For desktop mounting, attach the four self-adhesive, anti-slide bumpers (supplied) to the

underside of the Mediant 1000 and place it on the desktop in the desired position. (The integral

front brackets are not used for desktop mounting.)

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.

Tip: Record and retain the IP address and subnet mask you assign the Mediant

1000. Do the same when defining new username or password. If the Embedded

Web Server is unavailable (for example, if you’ve lost your username and

password), use the BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access the device,

“reflash” the load and reset the password (refer to the digital Mediant 1000

User’s Manuals for detailed information on using a BootP/TFTP configuration

utility to access the device).

6. Disconnect your PC from the Mediant 1000 or from the hub / switch (depending on the

connection method you used in Step 1).

7. Reconnect the Mediant 1000 and your PC (if required) to the network.

8. Restore your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to their original settings. If necessary, restart

your PC and re-access the Mediant 1000 via the Embedded Web Server with its new

assigned IP address.

3.1.2 Assigning an IP Address Using BootP

Tip 1: BootP procedure can also be performed using any standard compatible BootP

server.

Tip 2: You can also use BootP to load the auxiliary files to the Mediant 1000 (refer to

the Mediant 1000 User’s Manual).

¾ To assign an IP address using BootP, take these 12 steps:

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.

9. In the ‘Gateway’ field, enter the IP address for the default gateway. If you don't know the IP

address of the default gateway, contact your network administrator.

10. Click Apply to save this entry to the list of clients.

11. Click OK; the ‘Client Configuration’ screen is closed.

12. Use the reset button (located on the Mediant 1000 CPU module) to physically reset the

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.

Fast Track Guide 3. Configuring the Mediant 1000

Version 5.0 19 October 2006

5. Map outgoing calls to IP addresses (when Gatekeeper isn’t used) by completing these steps:

a. Click the arrow button next to the ‘Tel to IP Routing Table’ label; the ‘Tel to IP Routing’

screen opens. Any telephone number whose destination number matches the prefix

defined in the ‘Destination Phone Prefix’ field and whose source number matches the

prefix defined in the adjacent ‘Source Phone Prefix‘ field is sent to the IP address

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

page 22) and / or Mediant 1000 trunk parameters (refer to Section 3.6 on page 25).

Note: For H.323 users, continue with Section 3.5 on page 22.

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.
