When bringing the unit into a warm environment from the cold, condensation may result that might be harmful
to the unit. If this occurs, allow the unit to acclimatize for an hour before powering it on.
Cleaning
To clean the Mediatrix 4100, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzine and thinner
that are harmful to the unit casing.

This section describes how to set the connectors of the Mediatrix 4100.
See “Appendix C - Cabling Considerations” on page 201 for more details on the cables the Mediatrix 4100
uses.
Reserving an IP Address
Before connecting the Mediatrix 4100 to the network, Media5 strongly recommends that you reserve an IP
address in your DHCP server – if you are using one – for the unit you are about to connect. This way, you
know the IP address associated with a particular unit.
DHCP servers generally allocate a range of IP addresses for use on a network and reserve IP addresses for
specific devices using a unique identifier for each device. The Mediatrix 4100 unique identifier is its media
access control (MAC) address. You can locate the MAC address as follows:
 It is printed on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
 It is located in the sysMgmtMIB under the sysMacAddress variable.
Warning: Do not connect the Mediatrix 4100 directly to Telecommunication Systems.
Caution: The Mediatrix 4100 must be installed on a circuit equipped with a breaker so that you can easily
power the unit off if required.
