sides are maintained to ensure proper airflow to avoid over heating of internal components.
Operate the device in an ambient temperature (Tma) that does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
Use only the supplied AC/DC power adapter for connection to the power source.
In case of a malfunction, do not attempt to fix the power adapter and do not use any other type of
power adapter.

Mounting the Device
You can mount the device in several ways:
Placing it on a desktop using the four anti-slide bumpers (supplied), which you need to stick on the
grooves located on the underside of the device. The bumpers avoid involuntary movement of the unit
on the desktop as well as enable better air flow for cooling the device.
Mounting it in a standard 19-inch rack by placing it on AudioCodes 1U 19-inch rack mount shelf
(separate orderable item). The procedure includes attaching the shelf to the rack's front posts, and
then placing the device on the shelf where it is securely held in position by the device's anti-slide
bumpers which fit into the shelf's four square-openings.
Mounting it on a wall, using the integral mounting keyholes located on its underside.

Initial Connectivity
This section describes how to initially access the device's management interface and change its default IP
address to correspond with your networking scheme. Device management can always be done through the
LAN interface, but you can also enable device management through the WAN (as explained in the configuration
guide).
Accessing Device through Web Interface
You can access the Web-based management interface using the device's default LAN IP address:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Prefix Length: 24 (255.255.255.0)
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
VLAN ID: 1
By default, the device's embedded DHCP server is enabled for the LAN, and with default IP pool addresses
relating to the default subnet LAN. The DHCP server allocates this pool of IP addresses to computers
connected to its LAN interface. You can disable the DHCP server or modify the IP address pool.
Accessing Device through Default LAN IP Address
1. Connect the LAN Port (S1 / GE LAN) to your computer's network interface, using a straight-through
Ethernet cable:

2. Make sure that your computer is configured to automatically obtain an IP address. The device has an
embedded DHCP server, which by default, allocates IP addresses to connected computers.
3. On your computer, start a Web browser and in the URL address field, enter the device's default IP
address; the Web interface's Web Login screen appears:
4. In the 'Username' and 'Password' fields, enter the case-sensitive, default login username (Admin) and
password (Admin).
5. Click Log In.
Configuring LAN and WAN
This section describes how to configure the device's LAN and WAN interfaces.
After accessing the device through the LAN interface, you can configure Web management access from one of
the following interfaces:
Any of the configured Voice Gateway LAN interfaces.
WAN port interface: In this setup, you need to enable remote access to the WAN port interface.
For basic configuration, click here to view the configuration note.
Modifying LAN Interface
The device's default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1/24. You can change this to suit your networking scheme.
By default, the device's embedded DHCP server is enabled for the LAN, and with default IP pool addresses
relating to the default subnet LAN. You can disable the DHCP server or modify the IP address pool. The
DHCP server allocates this pool of IP addresses to the computers connected to its LAN interface.
1. Open the LAN Interface page (Setup menu > IP NETWORK tab > CORE ENTITIES folder > LAN Interface).
2. Configure the following:
LAN Interfaces
DHCP (enable / disable)
DNS

Configuring WAN Interface
This section describes how to configure the WAN interface, which uses Gigabit Ethernet.
Before configuring the WAN interface, make sure that you have all the required information from your Internet
service provider.
1. Connect the WAN port to the WAN network. For information on cabling the WAN port, refer to the
Hardware Installation Manual.
2. Open the WAN Interface page (Setup menu > IP NETWORK tab > CORE ENTITIES folder > WAN
Interface).
3. Configure the following:
WAN settings (Static or DHCP Client - default is DHCP Client)
DNS settings (Static or Auto - default is Auto)

Cabling the Device
Cabling depends on your ordered hardware interfaces, for example, the type of WAN interface.
1. Connect the device's WAN port interface to your router.
2. Connect any phone, fax or other PSTN equipment to any of the analog port interfaces (FXS).
3. Insert the DC plug that is located at the end of the power cord of the supplied power adapter into the
device's power socket located on the rear panel and labeled POWER. Plug the power adapter directly
into a standard electrical wall outlet; the Power LED turns on (green).
4. You should now be able to make and receive calls, based on your local plan with your service provider.
