Hardware Installation Manual 1. Introduction
1 Introduction
This document provides a hardware description of the Mediant 800 Gateway and E-SBC
(hereafter referred to as device) and step-by-step procedures for mounting and cabling the
device.
The device supports the following interfaces (customer ordered):
E1/T1 (PRI):
•Mediant 800B: Up to 2 E1/T1 port interfaces (over single copper wire pair).
•Mediant 800C: Up to 4 E1/T1 port interfaces
Up to 8 BRI ports (supporting up to 16 voice channels).
Up to 12 FXS port interfaces.
Up to 12 FXO port interfaces.
12 LAN Ethernet interfaces - up to 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports and up to 8 Fast Ethernet
ports. These ports operate in port-pair redundancy, providing up to 6 port-pair groups.
Open Solutions Network (OSN) server platform for hosting third-party applications
such as an IP PBX.
Power:
•Mediant 800B: Single AC power inlet
•Mediant 800C: Single AC power inlet, and a DC power inlet (optional, customer
ordered)
Notes:
•Mediant 800 includes two hardware revisions which differ as follows:
√Mediant 800B: Max. 2 E1/T1; AC power only
√Mediant 800C: Max. 4 E1/T1; AC and DC power (optional)
•Hardware configurations may change without notice. Currently available hardware
configurations are listed in AudioCodes Price Book. For available hardware
configurations, contact your AudioCodes sales representative.
•The Fast Ethernet ports are available only on "pure" SBC Mediant 800 (i.e., without
PSTN / Gateway interfaces).
•For software configuration, refer to the User's Manual.

3 GE Up to four 10/100/1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) LAN ports for
connecting IP phones, computers, or switches. These ports support
the following features:
1+1 LAN port redundancy: These ports are grouped in pairs,
where one port is active and the other redundant. When a failure
occurs in the active port, a switchover is done to the redundant
port.
Half- and full-duplex modes
Auto-negotiation

Straight or crossover cable detection
4 FE Eight Fast Ethernet (10/100Base-TX) RJ-45 LAN ports for connecting
IP phones, computers, or switches. The supported port features are
the same as the GE ports (see Item #6 above).
Note: The Fast Ethernet ports are available only on "pure" SBC
Mediant 800 (i.e., without PSTN / Gateway interfaces).
5 // Reset pinhole button for resetting the device and optionally, for
restoring the device factory defaults. To restore the device to factory
defaults, do the following: With a paper clip or any other similar
pointed object, press and hold down the Reset pinhole button for at
least 12 seconds, but no more than 25 seconds.
6 CONSOLE RS-232 port (RJ-45) for serial communication.
