Step 6. Connect a SCN line into any of the numbered FXO connectors of the Mediatrix 3742.
Step 2 IP Address Discovery or Configuration
The purpose of this section is to be able to contact the Mediatrix 3000's management interface to start with unit configuration.
Once the physical connection is complete, you will need to power on the Mediatrix 3000 and find out the IP address it is using. The Mediatrix 3000's WAN
IP address can be set either dynamically or statically. The default behaviour of the Mediatrix 3000 is to try to obtain a dynamic IP address through a DHCP
server.
You can also access the Mediatrix 3000 through its private LAN interface.
Dynamic WAN IPv4 Address Discovery
Before connecting the Mediatrix 3000 to the network, Media5 strongly suggests that you reserve an IP address in your DHCP server for the unit you are
about to connect. DHCP servers reserve IP addresses for specific devices by using a unique identifier for each device. The Mediatrix 3000's unique
identifier is its media access control (MAC) address. The MAC address appears on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
If you have not reserved a WAN IP address, you can discover which WAN IP address has been assigned
to the Mediatrix 3000 by either:
consulting your DHCP server's logs to find out details on the DHCP lease that was given to the
Mediatrix 3000.
using a network packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) to examine the DHCP messages exchanged
between the Mediatrix 3000 and your DHCP server while the Mediatrix 3000 boots up.
Step 1. If you need to discover the IP address of the Mediatrix 3000, install and start your network
packet sniffer.
Step 2. Connect the power cord on the rear of the Mediatrix 3000 and then connect the other end
to an electrical outlet. The electrical outletmust be installed nearthe Mediatrix 3000 sothat
it is easily accessible.
Step 3. Power on the Mediatrix 3000 by flipping the power switch. The Mediatrix 3000 will reboot
twice by itself.
Step 4. Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 3000 web interface.
Note: Make sure any IPv4 DHCP-provided address is outside of 192.168.0.x or otherwise, contact the unit on the LAN port (Ethx) and change
the LAN IP address for an address that does not clash with the DHCP-provided address.

IP Address Discovery or Configuration
Default WAN Static IPv4 IP Address Configuration
If there is no DHCP server in your network, then the WAN IP address can be configured statically. In that
case, you must set up your PC to use the private IP address 192.168.0.11.
Step 1. Connect the power cord on the rear of the Mediatrix 3000 and then connect the other end
to an electrical outlet. The electrical outletmust be installed nearthe Mediatrix 3000 sothat
it is easily accessible.
Step 2. Power on the Mediatrix 3000 by flipping the power switch. The Mediatrix 3000 will reboot
twice by itself.
Step 3. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the RESET/DEFAULT hole located at the rear of the
Mediatrix 3000. The Power LED will start blinking, and after a few seconds, all the LEDS
will start blinking. Release the paper clip after all the LEDs start blinking and before they
all stop blinking (between 7-11 seconds).
This procedure is called a partial reset. After a partial reset is performed, the Mediatrix
3000’s WAN connection uses the default IP address 192.168.0.1. Refer to the Hardware
Configuration Guide, Chapter Powering on the Mediatrix 3000 for details on the partial
reset procedure.
Step 4. Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 3000 web interface.
LAN Interface Access
You can access the Mediatrix 3000 via web and SNMP on the unit’s private LAN interface at the address 192.168.0.10. In that case, you must set up your
PC to use the private IP address 192.168.0.11.
Step 1. Connect the power cord on the rear of the Mediatrix 3000 and then connect the other end to an electrical outlet. The electrical outlet must
be installed near the Mediatrix 3000 so that it is easily accessible.
Step 2. Power on the Mediatrix 3000 by flipping the power switch. The Mediatrix 3000 will reboot twice by itself.
Step 3. Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 3000 web interface.
IPv6 Link Local Address Configuration
You can also use the link local address to contact the unit. Note that the Mediatrix 3000 IPv6 interface is disabled by default.
Step 1. With a 10/100 Hub and two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 straight cables, connect both cables to the Hub; one of them is connected into
the WAN connector. The other cable links the computer to the Hub.
Step 2. Connect the power cord on the rear of the Mediatrix 3000 and then connect the other end to an electrical outlet. The electrical outlet must
be installed near the Mediatrix 3000 so that it is easily accessible.
Step 3. Power on the Mediatrix 3000 by flipping the power switch. The Mediatrix 3000 will reboot twice by itself.
Step 4. Insert a small, unbent paper clip intothe RESET/DEFAULTholelocated attherearof theMediatrix 3000.The Power LEDwillstartblinking,
and after a few seconds, all the LEDS will start blinking. Release the paper clip after all the LEDs start blinking and before they all stop
blinking (between 7-11 seconds).
This procedure is called a partial reset. After a partial reset is performed, the Mediatrix 3000 enables its link local IPv6 address Refer to
the Hardware Configuration Guide, Chapter Powering on the Mediatrix 3000 for details on the partial reset procedure.
Step 5. Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 3000’s web interface by using the unit’s link local address.
The unit’s link local address is printed on a sticker under the unit.
The link local address can be determined by using the following pattern: [fe80::290:f8ff:feXX:XXXX] where XXXXXX are the last 6 digits
of the unit’s MAC address. Example: The link local address for the Mediatrix 3000 with MAC address 00:90:F8:12:34:56 would be
[fe80::290:f8ff:fe12:3456].
Note: On Windows, a scope ID needs to be added to the link local address ([fe80::290:f8ff:fe12:3456%11]). You can find this number by
executing the ‘ipconfig’ command in a command prompt. Note the number at the end of the IPv6 default Gateway for the interface used to contact
the unit.
OnLinux,thescopeidentifier may be the link nameortheinterface number. The interface number can bedetermined through the Linuxcommand
line.
