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.

Assigning an IP Address
You can manually assign a static IP address to the device or you can use a DHCP server to dynamically assign an
IP address to the device. This is configured through the device's Command-Line Interface (CLI).
To assign an IP address:
1. Connect the device's RS-232 serial port, located on the rear panel and labeled CONSOLE, to the serial
communication port on your computer (serial cable is not supplied).
2. Insert the DC plug, located at the end of the power cord of the supplied AC/DC 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. Switch on the device by pressing-in the ON/OFF power button
located next to the socket. The Power LED on the front panel should turn on (green).
