Starting the Mediatrix 4100 for the First Time Reference Manual (MGCP/NCS Version)

Mediatrix 4100

2. Reconfigure the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.10 and the Subnet Mask to

255.255.255.0. Restart the computer.

3. Power on the Mediatrix 4100 by connecting the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet.

The electrical outlet must be installed near the Mediatrix 4100 so that it is easily accessible.

4. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the Reset / Default switch hole located at the front of the

Mediatrix 4100. The Power LED will start blinking, and after a few seconds, all the LEDS will start

blinking. Release the paper clip after all the LEDs start blinking and before they all stop blinking

(between 5-10 seconds). Only the Power and Ready LEDs should go on blinking to inform you that

the recovery mode procedure has been performed.

After a recovery mode is performed, the Mediatrix 4100 uses the default IP address 192.168.0.1.

Refer to “

Recovery Mode” on page 18 for details on the recovery mode procedure.

You must perform the recovery mode in a closed network and perform it on only one Mediatrix 4100

at a time, since the default IP address is the same on every unit.

Initial Provisioning Sequence

When starting the Mediatrix 4100 for the first time, it needs to be configured before it can support calls. This

process is known as provisioning. This sequence assumes that you have installed the Mediatrix 4100

hardware as per “

Hardware Connection” on page 9.

The Mediatrix 4100 requests its configuration only on the first restart. You can change the configuration at will

after the initial provisioning and the provisioning system can refresh the Mediatrix 4100 configuration. The

provisioning system consists of the Management Server and a DHCP server. The Management Server

includes a provisioning client, provisioning server, and SNMP proxy server.

 Initial provisioning sequence:

1. When the Mediatrix 4100 starts, it broadcasts a message requesting DHCP services (if the unit is

configured to start in DHCP mode).

2. The DHCP server responds with a set of IP addresses and network parameters, one of which is the

Mediatrix 4100 IP address.

The following are some of the network parameters assigned via DHCP:

• Mediatrix 4100 IP address

• Subnet Mask

• Default Router IP address

• Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses

• Management Server IP address and port number (optional)

• Configuration file server IP address and port number (optional)

• Call Agent IP address and port number

3. The Mediatrix 4100 may request its configuration in two ways:

• by using the IP address of the Management Server to request its configuration.

• by using a configuration file.

LED Behaviour in Starting Mode

When the Mediatrix 4100 starts and it is not configured to use a DHCP server, it uses static IP addresses. If

the static information is not valid, the LAN LED blinks at 1 Hz with 75% duty cycle. This lets you know that you

must perform a Factory reset or Recovery mode operation. See “

Reset / Default Switch” on page 18 for more

details.
