This chapter describes the Mediatrix 3600 connectors and indicators.
Overview
Provider-specific profiles ensure that the Mediatrix 3600 is a genuine plug and play solution. It offers a low total
cost of ownership as it reduces installation and maintenance costs. Moreover, the Mediatrix 3600 integrates
features such as TLS, SRTP, and HTTPS designed to bring enhanced security for network management, SIP
signalling and media transmission aspects.
The Mediatrix 3600 series ISDN VoIP Digital Gateways allow enterprises to lower communications costs over
any IP link. Designed specifically for enterprise applications, the Mediatrix 3600 digital gateways make use of
existing broadband access equipment to connect to any standards-based VoIP network.

equipment, such as PBXs, through a PRI (Primary Rate Interface) interface to an IP network or as a gateway
to the PSTN.
Mediatrix 3600 digital gateways provide transparent ISDN port extensions over an IP network. The remote
ISDN terminals can be managed centrally and benefit from PBX services such as calling groups and voice
mail.
The following are the Mediatrix 3600 models currently available:

Network Information
When planning the installation of the Mediatrix 3600, you should consider the following network information.
Network Diagram
It is always good practice to draw a network overview diagram that displays all neighbouring IP nodes, serial
connected elements, and other components. It is recommended that you keep a copy in the site log (see “Site
Log” on page 8 for more information on keeping a site log).
IP-Related Information
Before you can install the Mediatrix 3600, you need to have the following information:
IP addresses used for Ethernet LAN and WAN connectors
Subnet mask used for Ethernet LAN and WAN connectors
IP addresses of the central SIP server
IP addresses of the central server used for configuration upload and download
Power Source
If you suspect that your AC power is not reliable, for example if room lights flicker often or there is machinery
with large motors nearby, have a qualified professional test the power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Safety Recommendations
The following are safety recommendations and best practices to follow when working with the Mediatrix 3600.
Maintaining Safety with Electricity
Warning: Do not work on the Mediatrix 3600, connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity.
Warning: Disconnect all power before servicing the Mediatrix 3600.
Warning: Hazardous network voltages might be present in WAN, LAN, and telephone networks
connectors regardless of whether power to the device is OFF or ON. Use caution when working near these
connectors to avoid electric shock. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the Mediatrix 3600
first.

General Safety Practices
Follow these guidelines to ensure personal safety and protect the equipment:
Keep the Mediatrix 3600 clear and dust-free during and after installation.
Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an
electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off the power.
Disconnect all power before installing the Mediatrix 3600.
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes equipment
unsafe.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Always follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention procedures when installing or working around the
Mediatrix 3600.
Ensure that the Mediatrix 3600 chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip
to earth ground to channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground safely. If no ESD wrist strap is
available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Required Mounting Tools and Equipment
You will need the following tools and parts to properly install the Mediatrix 3600:
Screwdriver as required for attaching brackets to rack or wall.
Philips screwdriver for attaching brackets to the Mediatrix 3600.
Screws and anchors for wall-mounting, if required.
• Four wood screws or other fasteners, for installing the chassis on a wall.
ESD-preventive wrist strap.
In addition, you might need the following external equipment:
Modem for remote access.
RJ-45 cables for the WAN and LAN connections.
Unpacking and Inspection
If you haven’t already done so, unpack the Mediatrix 3600 device. Carefully remove it from the package and
packing material. The Mediatrix 3600 package contains the following items:
1 x Mediatrix 3600 unit
1 x power cord for the country in which you are using the Mediatrix 3600
1 x wall/rack mounting kit
1 x BumponTM kit for desktop use
3 x 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cables (Mediatrix 3621/3631)
5 x 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cables (Mediatrix 3632)
1 x Printed Flyer
Warning: This equipment must be installed and maintained by service personnel. Incorrectly connecting
this equipment to a general-purpose outlet could be hazardous. The telecommunications lines must be
disconnected before unplugging the main power connector.

You may also need additional 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cables.
Location and Mounting Requirements
The Mediatrix 3600 is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be placed in the same room or
cabinet where the PBX/telephony equipment is located. The unit can be wall-mounted, mounted on a standard
48.26 cm (19 in.) equipment rack, or free standing. In addition, the Mediatrix 3600 can be rack-mounted in a
wiring closet or equipment room.
Location
Install the Mediatrix 3600 in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperature or
humidity. Do not install the Mediatrix 3600 in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near stoves or radiators.
Excessive heat could damage the internal components.
When deciding where to position the Mediatrix 3600, ensure that:
The Mediatrix 3600 is accessible for future upgrade, maintenance and troubleshooting, and
cables can be easily connected.
The cabling is away from the following:
• Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters, and broadband amplifiers.
• Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Water or moisture that could enter the casing of the Mediatrix 3600.
The fan on the Mediatrix 3600 is not blocked or that the rear of the unit is not too close to the
wall. The unit requires a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance.
The operating temperature is between 0oC and 40oC.
The humidity is not over 85% and is non-condensing.
Wiring Requirements
Make sure that the telephone wiring, LAN and WAN cables reach the device and can be dressed in a manner
that is safe for the wiring, does not pull or create lateral stress on the connectors on the device, and does not
present a trip hazard to personnel working in the vicinity of the equipment. Do not connect any cable or wiring
at this time.
Mounting Brackets
The Mediatrix 3600 ships with two brackets for rack-mount installation in a 19-inch rack or wall-mount
installation.
