Module Replacement Procedure 1. Introduction
1 Introduction
This document is an addendum to the Nortel SCS Task Based Guides
(http://support.nortel.com/go/main.jsp?cscat=DOCDETAIL&id=914233&poid=19081) and
focuses on how to configure the AudioCodes Mediant 1000 with the Nortel Software
Communication System (SCS). The Mediant 1000 is a modular gateway that can be
combined with various modules (FXS, FXO, Trunk or BRI).
The configuration of the Mediant 1000 is composed of the following stages:
1. Physically install the gateway. Refer to “Installing the Device” (Section 2) in the
LTRT-83503 Mediant 1000 MEGACO-SIP Installation Manual. (Ver.5.4).
2. Restore the gateway to its factory default settings.
3. Assign it with the networking parameters (e.g., IP Address). Refer to Section 3.1
“Assigning an IP Address” in the LTRT-83503 Mediant 1000 MEGACO-SIP Installation
Manual (Ver. 5.4).
4. Configure the gateway parameters and refer to the “Gateway Setup Notes” section.
5. Configure the SCS with site-specific parameters and establish the first connection with
the gateway.

Version 5.4 11 October 2009
Module Replacement Procedure 2. Gateway Setup Notes
2 Gateway Setup Notes
This section describes the configuration of the AudioCodes’ gateway required for
integration with the SCS System.
You can configure the gateway using one of the following methods:
Uploading an ini configuration file (*.ini file) – refer to Section 2.1
Configuring the gateway via the Web interface – refer to Section 2.2
2.1 Configuration Files
For initial setup and configuration, you can upload an ini file to the AudioCodes gateway
that includes the template ini file settings shown in Section 5. Simply create a new text file
(e.g., using Microsoft Notepad) with the file extension *.ini, copy and paste the ini file
settings from Section 5 into the text file, and then upload the file to the gateway.
Typically, for interoperability with the SCS, it is sufficient that you use this ini file template.
However, due to specificity of site deployment, you may need to modify or define certain
parameters (such as IP Addresses and Trunk Settings) after uploading the ini file.
2.2 Configuring AudioCodes Gateway
This sub-section provides step-by-step procedures for configuring the AudioCodes’
gateway, using the Web interface. Ensure that you configure the gateway according to the
configuration settings displayed in the screenshots provided in this section.
Note the following Web interface guidelines:
When making configuration changes for each procedure, ensure that you click the
Submit button to save your changes; unless otherwise instructed.
Some of the changes may require a gateway reset for these changes to take effect.
Therefore, (and to save time), reset the gateway only after you complete all of the
gateway configurations.
The procedures described in this section are performed using the gateway's Web-
based management tool (i.e., Web interface). Before you begin configuring the
gateway, ensure that the Web interface's Navigation tree is in Full menu display mode
(i.e., the Full option on the Navigation bar is selected), as shown below:
Figure 2-1: Menu Display

3 Nortel SCS Installation
The Nortel SCS software comes pre-installed on AudioCodes part code M1K-CH-SCS. This
order code includes the Mediant 1000 basic chassis (with the CMC, PS and accessories) with
the OSN1 Connection module and the SCS preloaded on the HDD.
¾To connect to the OSN for installing and configuring the SCS software:
Note: If the SCS software is not pre-installed on the OSN, follow the
instructions in Section 6 Installing Nortel SCS on AudioCodes Mediant 1000
OSN, to load the SCS ISO image on the OSN via CD ROM.
1. Connect the device's RS-232 port to your PC and start the HyperTerminalTM
application.
Figure 3-1: Connection Module
2. Use a serial communication software (e.g., HyperTerminalTM) to establish a serial
communication link with the device, using the following communications port settings:
•Connect Port: COM1
•Baud Rate (Bits per Second): 115,200
•Data Bits: 8
•Parity: None
•Stop Bits: 1
•Flow Control: None
3. Connect the Mediant 1000 to the electric power.
4. When the system starts, press CTRL + C and after several seconds this BIOS will be

Nortel SCS Task Based Guides (TBG) for configuration of the SCS software. For SCS
installation on a single server, see page 16 of the “Initial Installation – Single SCS
Server” TBG. For SCS High Availability (HA) installation see page 22 of the
“Configuring the SCS with High Availability (HA) – Dual Server” TBG.
Note: Prior to SCS installation and configuration, you will need to gather important
network information such as HA or non-HA deployment, server IP address,
DNS, and DHCP. See the worksheets and checklists in the Task Based
Guides described above.
