Intended Audience

This manual provides all the technical information needed to install and manage the Mediatrix 4100. It is

intended for network administrators and system managers who install and set up network equipment;

consequently, it assumes a basic working knowledge of LANs. Some installation procedures also require a

qualified telephony technician. See “RJ21X Connector (Mediatrix 4124)” on page 203

for more details.

From the perspective of the LAN administrator, a Mediatrix 4100 presents itself like another device to add to

the LAN. It requires the same kind of TCP/IP addressing. The Mediatrix 4100 can also use a DHCP server on

the LAN to automatically receive its IP configuration assignment.
