Mediatrix 1124, 1104 and 1102 Installation and Setup Guide
Overview
Description TheCommunication Server2100supportsboththeMediatrix 1124and
1104 units, with Mediatrix being the supporting owner of these
products. The 1124 and the 1104 both use the same internal four-port
cards, with the only difference being the amount of cards used and the
box in which they reside. In this section, the 1124 is described in detail.
The Mediatrix 1124 (24 analog ports) unit is a telecommunications
device that provides full duplex communications for audio/fax/modems
over IP-based networks for the 2500-type analog telephone set or
G3-type fax machines. Each of the ports on the Mediatrix has its own
number. The Mediatrix unit automatically connects its Foreign
Exchange Service (FXS) port 1 to the PSTN in occurrences of power
failures, LAN faults or for maintenance purposes. You can install the
Mediatrixunitineitherwiringclosetswhereexistingwiringisterminated
or in office space.
The Mediatrix unit supports G.711 (A-law and Mu-Law), G.723.1 and
G.729 Annex A and B. It uses standard silence suppression algorithms
and Silence ID (SID) packet transport over RTP/RTCP on G.729A.
Annex B of G.729 refers to this standard. Silence suppression cannot
be activated with G.711.
The Mediatrix 1124 Analog Station Gateway (ASGW)
• is a standalone analog line gateway that connects up to 24 analog
phones, Group 3 fax machines, modems, and answering machines
to a LAN through a single 10/100BaseT Ethernet port to deliver a
wide range of Meridian SL-100 features.
• uses the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) to communicate
with the Gateway Controller located in the Communication Server
2100.
• operates on both hybrid and pure IP Communication Server 2100
platforms.

12 Overview
555-4031-902 Standard 01.02 January 2005
• uses the Mediatrix Unit Manager Network (UMN) GUI for
provisioning and configuration using the SNMP protocol. Unit
Manager Network installs on a PC connected to the same network
that hosts the Mediatrix unit. Unit Manager Network does not
interface with any Nortel Networks Communication Server 2100
OAM&P components.
• automatically connects the FXS port 1 to the PSTN using a RJ-11
bypassconnectionforemergencyfail-safeiftheIP connectiontothe
LAN fails (for example, power failure, LAN faults or maintenance).
• uses an RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Base-T to connect to the LAN,
an RJ-21 connector to a maximum of 24 analog lines, and an RJ-11
bypass connection to the PSTN.
Figure 1 illustrates the Mediatrix 1124 Analog Station Gateway (front
view). On the back of the Mediatrix unit, there is a power receptacle
connector and a fan. There are also three LED indicators: one for
POWER, one for LAN, and one for READY. Refer to the Mediatrix
1104/1124 Hardware and Software Product Specifications
documentation for more information.

Installation and configuration procedures 19
Mediatrix 1124, 1104 and 1102 Installation and Setup Guide
Configuring a Mediatrix Analog Station Gateway
Application
Use this procedure to setup a Mediatrix Analog Station Gateway.
Prerequisites
This procedure has the following prerequisites:
• The Mediatrix Analog Station Gateway must be connected to the
network.
• The Unit Manager Network application must be installed.
Note: Unit Manager Express can also be used, but most end user
will find Unit Manger Network easier to use.
Steps of procedure
Follow the steps in Procedure 1 to configure a Mediatrix Analog Station
Gateway.
Procedure 1
Configure the Mediatrix Analog Station Gateway
With the Unit Manager Network software installed on your PC
1Power off the Mediatrix.
2With a 10/100 base hub: plug a LAN cable from your laptop to the hub and
plug a LAN cable from the Mediatrix to the hub.
Note: A cross over cable can be used, instead of the hub – in which case
the connection would be from the PC to the Mediatrix.
3Configure your laptop with an IP address of 192.168.0.10 and the subnet of
255.255.255.0.
4You will need a paper clip.
aPress the reset button and power on the Mediatrix (refer to Figure 1 on
page 12).
CAUTION
Possible service interruption
Perform this procedure during a maintenance window or a
period of low traffic.
!
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Unit Manager Network installation information is contained in the
Unit Manager Express User’s Manual that comes with the Mediatrix
software CD.

20 Installation and configuration procedures
555-4031-902 Standard 01.02 January 2005
bHold until the LEDs start blinking.
5At this point you can start provisioning the Mediatrix (enter the values that the
example in Table 2 on page 20 shows).
6Once completed, unplug the power from the Mediatrix and unplug all
temporary LAN cables.
This procedure is now complete
Plug Mediatrix into the network LAN and power the Mediatrix up.
Enter the values that Table 2 shows, in the order they appear, to bring
up a Mediatrix Analog Station Gateway.
