1Introduction
Welcome to AudioCodes MediaPack 5xx (MP-5xx) analog voice gateway series (hereafter, referred
to as device).
2Getting Started with Initial Connectivity
This section describes how to initially access the device's management interface.
2.1 Accessing Device's Management Interface
This section describes initial access to the device's management interface.
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 (default LAN interface is
192.168.0.1).
◼WAN port interface: You need to enable remote access to the WAN port interface, as
described in Section Enabling Remote Web-based Management.
2.1.1 Connecting to the Web Interface
You can access the Web- based management interface using the device's default LAN IP address:
Table 2-1: Default LAN IP Address
Networking Parameter
Default Value
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.

2.1.2 Accessing Device through Default LAN IP Address
The following procedure describes how to initially access the device using the default LAN interface.
To access the device using the default LAN IP address:
1. Connect the LAN Port directly to your computer's network interface using a straight-
through Ethernet cable:
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.
2. On your computer, start a Web browser and in the URL address field, enter the device's
default IP address (see table above); the Web interface's Web Login screen appears:

( Admin ) and password ( Admin ).
4. Click Log In .
2.2 Configuring WAN Interface for Voice Gateway
This section describes how to configure the device's WAN interface using Gigabit Ethernet
( GigabitEthernet 0/0), which is the main interface for connecting the device to the voice
network.
Before configuring the WAN interface, make sure that you have all the required
informationfrom yourInternet Telephony ServiceProvider(ITSP).
To configure a WAN IP address:
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. On this page, you can configure:
• WAN (static or DHCP client - Default WAN interface is DHCP Client )
• DNS (static or Auto - Default DNS settings is Auto )

management access from the WAN interface.
To enable remote Web-based management (HTTP/S) from WAN:
1. Open the WEB Settings page (Setup menu > Administration tab > Web & CLI folder > WEB
Settings).
2. Allow WAN access:
•For HTTP: From the 'Allow WAN access to HTTP' drop-down list, select Enable.
•For HTTPS: From the 'Allow WAN access to HTTPS' drop-down list, select Enable.
3. Click Apply and save to flash.
3Voice Gateway using Proxy Server
This example scenario describes how to route calls when the Voice Gateway is configured
to operate using a SIP proxy server and FXS ports (basic configuration).
