PREFACE
PAbout this Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Mediatrix 1204 from Mediatrix.
The Mediatrix 1204 is a SIP Gateway that connects up to four SCN lines or analog PBX extensions to a Local
Area Network (LAN) with access to an Intranet or the Internet to permit high-quality, full duplex, audio/fax
communications over IP Packet Networks. This way, the Mediatrix 1204 acts as a Gateway for bridged
communications.
To ensure maximum flexibility, the Mediatrix 1204 can:
dynamically detect the most commonly used IP Telephony codecs and fax protocols, including
T.38
be auto-provisioned and remotely managed and upgraded
Document Objectives
The Mediatrix 1204 Reference Manual provides technical information for the Mediatrix 1204.
Use the Mediatrix 1204 Reference Manual in conjunction with the appropriate publications listed in “Related
Documentation” on page xx.
New Documentation
This new version of the Mediatrix 1204 introduces changes to the documentation. The information formerly in
the User’s Manual has now been included in this Reference Manual.
If you are an end-user who is looking for information on how to use the features on your telephone, refer to
the following chapters:
What’s New in this Version
• Possibility to define the format used, in the SDP portion of SIP packets, to advertise the unit's
T.38 capabilities. See “T.38 Negotiation Syntax” on page 235 for more details.
• Presence Compositor server. See “SIP Configuration” on page 66 (web) or “Presence
Compositor Server” on page 142 (SNMP) for more details.
• Possibility to set Publication parameters. See “SIP Publication” on page 68 (web) or
“Publication Parameters” on page 227 (SNMP) for more details.
• Added Austria2 as supported country. See “Austria 2” on page 316 for more details.

Preface - About this Manual Intended Audience
xx Mediatrix 1204
Intended Audience
This manual provides all the technical information needed to install and manage the Mediatrix 1204. It is
intended for network administrators and system managers who install and set up network equipment;
consequently, it assumes a basic working knowledge of LANs.
From the perspective of the LAN administrator, a Mediatrix 1204 presents itself like another device to add to
the LAN. It requires the same kind of TCP/IP addressing. The Mediatrix 1204 can also use a DHCP server on
the LAN to automatically receive its IP configuration assignment.
Related Documentation
In addition to this manual, the Mediatrix 1204 document set includes the following:
MIB Reference Manual
Lists and explains all parameters in the MIB structure.
Mediatrix 1204 Quick Start Guide
This printed booklet allows you to quickly setup and work with the Mediatrix 1204.
Be sure to read any readme files, technical bulletins, or additional release notes for important information.
Document Structure
The Mediatrix 1204 Reference Manual has three parts:
“Installation and Web Page Configuration” on page 1. This part describes various installation
scenarios of the Mediatrix 1204 and how to configure the unit via its web interface.
“SNMP Configuration” on page 101. This part describes all SNMP-related parameters of the
Mediatrix 1204.
“Appendices” on page 293: This part contains supplemental information useful to the reader.
