Rack Mount Safety Instructions (UL)
When installing the chassis in a rack, be sure to implement the following safet
y
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. Appropri-ate 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.)
 To attach the device directly to a 19-inch rack’s frame take these 3
steps:
1. Position the device in your 19-inch rack and align the left-hand and right-hand bracket holes
to holes (of your choosing) in the vertical tracks of the 19-inch rack.
2. Use standard 19-inch rack bolts (not provided) to fasten the device to the frame of the rack.
3. AudioCodes recommends using two additional (not supplied) rear mounting brackets to
provide added support.

Fast Track Installation Guide 2. Installing the Mediant 2000
Version 4.4 9 August 2004
Users assembling the rear brackets by themselves should note the following:
• The distance between the screws on each bracket is 26.5 mm.
• To attach the brackets, use 4-40 screws with a maximal box penetration length of
3.5 mm.
 To place the device on a 19-inch rack’s shelf take these 2 steps:
1. Place the device on the shelf.
2. You’re now recommended to take the optional steps of fastening the device to the frame of
the rack (as described above) while it is placed on the shelf, so preventing it from sliding
when inserting cables into connectors on the rear panel.

3 Initializing the Mediant 2000
AudioCodes’ Mediant 2000 application software already resides in the device’s flash memory
when it is supplied (with factory default parameters). Mediant 2000 devices are also supplied with
an Embedded (integrally stored) Web Server.
The following procedure describes how to set up the Mediant 2000 with basic parameters using a
standard Web browser (such as Microsoft TM Internet Explorer).
Note: Section 3.1 applies equally to MGCP/MEGACO/H.323/SIP.
3.1 Initialization Procedure
 To initialize the Mediant 2000 take these 12 steps:
1. Before initializing, connect your computer to the Mediant 2000, follow the procedure
described in Section 2.3.2 on page 11.
2. Change your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to correspond with the Mediant 2000 factory
default IP address and subnet mask, shown in Table 3-1. For details on changing the IP
address and subnet mask of your PC, refer to Windows™ Online Help (Start>Help).
Table 3-1: Mediant 2000 Default IP Address & Subnet Mask
Mediant 2000 Default IP Address
Single module 10.1.10.10
Double module 10.1.10.10 (Trunks 1-8) and 10.1.10.11 (Trunks 9-16)
Default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, default gateway IP address is 0.0.0.0
Note: The two IP addresses (one IP address for Trunks 1-8 and one for Trunks 9-
16) refer to two different modules (AudioCodes’ TPM-1100) that reside in the
same board (AudioCodes’ TP-1610) inside the Mediant 2000.
3. Open a standard Web-browsing application such as Microsoft™ Internet Explorer™ (Version
6.0 and higher) or Netscape™ Navigator™ (Version 7.0 and higher).
4. In the URL field, specify the IP address of the first module of the Mediant 2000 (i.e.,
http://10.1.10.10); the Embedded Web Server’s ‘Enter Network Password’ screen appears,
shown in Figure 3-1.

3. If your network features a DHCP server, in the ‘Enable DHCP’ field, select ‘Enable’; the ‘IP
Address’, ‘Subnet Musk’ and ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ fields are disabled. When the
gateway is configured to use DHCP, it attempts to contact the enterprise’s DHCP server to
obtain the networking parameters (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and
primary/secondary DNS server).
4. Under the section ‘Trunk Configuration’, select the ‘Protocol Type’ and the ‘Framing Method’
you use (For E1 trunks, always set the Framing Method to ‘Extended Super Frame’). Note
that the Trunk Configuration parameters are global, and apply to all trunks. To configure
trunks per trunk, refer to Section 3.5 on page 22.
5. In the ‘Clock Master’ field, select the trunk clock source from the drop-down list. 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 2000 MGCP/MEGACO User’s Manual.
6. In the ‘Line Code’ field, select the Line Code. Choose either ‘B8ZS’ (bipolar 8-zero
substitution) for T1 trunks only; ‘HDB3’ (high-density bipolar 3) for E1 trunks only; or ‘AMI’
(for both T1 and E1).
7. In the ‘ISDN Termination Side’ field (applicable only to ISDN protocols), select ‘User Side’
when the PSTN or PBX side is configured as ‘Network side’, and vice-versa. If you don’t
know the Mediant 2000 ISDN termination side, choose ‘User Side’ and refer to the ‘Status &
Diagnostics>Channel Status’ screen. If the D-channel alarm is indicated, choose ‘Network
Side’.
8. Select the control protocol type you use: MGCP or MEGACO, in the field ‘Control Protocol
Type’.
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. If you
have a DNS server, the field is optional.
10. In the ‘Call Agent Port’ field, enter the Call Agent port. The default port is 2427 (MGCP) and
2944 (MEGACO).
11. In the ‘Call Agent Domain Name’ field, enter the Call Agent domain name. When using the
DNS server option, enter the domain name of the Call Agent operating with the Mediant
2000. The DNS server automatically deduces the Call Agent’s IP address from the domain
name.
12. In the ‘Gateway Name’ field, enter a name to the device. (For example: ‘gateway1.com’).
Ensure that the name you choose is the one that the Call Manager/Agent is configured with
to identify your Mediant 2000.
13. If you’re working with MGCP, in the ‘Endpoint Prefix’ field, enter an intuitive endpoint prefix.
Ensure that the endpoint prefix you choose is the one that the Call Agent works with.
If you’re working with MEGACO, in the ‘Endpoint Name’ field, enter an intuitive endpoint
name. Ensure that the endpoint name you choose is the one that the Call Manager works
with.
14. In the ‘Trunk Name‘ field, enter an intuitive trunk name. Ensure that the name you choose is
the one that the Call Manager/Agent is configured with to identify your Mediant 2000.
15. Click the Reset button and click OK in the prompt; The Mediant 2000 applies the changes
and restarts. This takes approximately 60 seconds to complete. When the Mediant 2000 has
finished restarting, the Ready and LAN LEDs on the front panel are lit green.
16. After the gateway is reset, in the ‘PCM Law Select’ field (Advanced Configuration>TDM
Bus Settings), select ‘A-law’ for E1 trunks and ‘µ-Law’ for T1 trunks.
You are now ready to start using the VoIP gateway.

3.3 Provisioning H.323 Parameters
After completing steps 1to 10 (pages 14 & 15) under Section 3.1, the H.323 ‘Quick Setup’ screen
is accessed, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3: Mediant 2000/H.323 Quick Setup
 To provision basic H.323 parameters take these 9 steps:
1. If the Mediant 2000 is behind a router with NAT enabled, take the following procedures:
 Determine the “public” IP address assigned to the router (by using, for instance, router
Web management). This “public IP address” is used to configure the Mediant 2000
Static NAT IP address.
 Enable the DMZ configuration on the residential router for the LAN port where the
Mediant 2000 gateway is connected.
 Enter the public IP address for the Mediant 2000 in the ‘NAT IP Address’ field (in
addition to the gateway’s local IP address).'
2. In the ’Default Gateway IP Address’ field, enter the IP address for the default gateway. If you
do not know the IP address for the default gateway, contact your network administrator.
Enter 0.0.0.0 if default gateway isn’t used.
3. When working with a Gatekeeper, set ‘Working with Gatekeeper’ field, under ‘H.323
Parameters’, to ‘Yes’ and 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.
4. Leave parameter ‘Enable Annex D/T.38 FAX Relay’ at its default unless your technical
requirements differ.
5. Select the coder that best suits your VoIP system requirements. The default coder is: G.7231
30 msec. To program the entire list of coders you want the Mediant 2000 to use, click the
button on the left side of the ‘1st Coder’ field; the drop-down lists for the 2nd to 5th coders
appear. Select coders according to your system requirements. Note that coders higher on
the list take precedence over coders lower on the list.

Fast Track Installation Guide 3. Initializing the Mediant 2000
Version 4.4 19 August 2004
Note: The preferred coder is the coder that the Mediant 2000 uses as a first choice
for all connections. If the far end gateway does not use this coder, the
Mediant 2000 will negotiate with the far end gateway to select a coder that
both sides can use.
6. Map outgoing calls to IP addresses (when Gatekeeper isn’t used) by completing these steps:
 Click the arrow button next to the ‘Tel to IP Routing Table’ label; the ‘Tel to IP Routing’
screen opens.
Any telephone number that its destination number matches the prefix defined in the
‘Destination Phone Prefix’ field and its 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.
 Click the SUBMIT button; the ‘Tel to IP Routing’ table is automatically updated.
 Click the Close Window button.
For more information on the ‘Tel to IP Routing’ table refer to the H.323 Mediant 2000 User’s
Manual.
7. Enable E1/T1 B-channels by completing these steps:
 Click the arrow button next to the ‘Trunk Group Table’ label; the ‘Trunk Group Table’
screen opens.
 Select the number of the trunk you want to enable from the ‘Trunk ID’ drop-down list.
 Enter the number of B-channels you want to enable in the ‘Channels’ field.
 Enter the starting phone number in the adjacent ‘Phone Number’ field (these are virtual
numbers, used only to define enabled B-channels).
 Click the SUBMIT button; the ‘Trunk Group Table’ table is automatically updated.
 Close the Window.
8. Click the Reset button and click OK in the prompt; The Mediant 2000 applies the changes
and restarts. This takes approximately 60 seconds to complete. When the Mediant 2000 has
finished restarting, the Ready and LAN LEDs on the front panel are lit green.
9. After the gateway is reset, configure the Mediant 2000 trunk parameters. For information on
configuring the trunk parameters, refer to Section 3.5 on page 22.

3.4 Provisioning SIP Parameters
After completing steps 1to 10 (pages 14 & 15) under Section 3.1, the SIP ‘Quick Setup’ screen is
accessed, as shown in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4: Mediant 2000/SIP Quick Setup
 To provision basic SIP parameters, take these 11 steps:
1. If the Mediant 2000 is behind a router with NAT enabled, take the following procedures:
 Determine the “public” IP address assigned to the router (by using, for instance, router
Web management). This “public IP address” is used to configure the Mediant 2000
Static NAT IP address.
 Enable the DMZ configuration on the residential router for the LAN port where the
Mediant 2000 gateway is connected.
 Enter the public IP address for the Mediant 2000 in the ‘NAT IP Address’ field (in
addition to the gateway’s local IP address).
2. In the ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ field, enter the IP address for the default gateway. If you
do not know the IP address for the default gateway, contact your network administrator.
Enter 0.0.0.0 if default gateway isn’t used.
3. Under ‘SIP Parameters’, enter the Mediant 2000 domain name in the field ‘Gateway Name’.
If the field is not specified, the Mediant 2000 IP address will be used instead (default).
4. When working with a Proxy server, set ‘Working with Proxy’ field to ‘Yes’ and 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.
5. Enter the Proxy name in the field ‘Proxy Name’. If Proxy name is used, it will replace the
Proxy IP address in all SIP messages. This means that messages will still be sent to the
physical Proxy IP address but the SIP URI will contain the Proxy name instead.
