Warning: Ensure that you connect the FXO ports to Central Office (CO) / PBX lines only.
Warning: The MediaPack is supplied as a sealed unit and must only be installed or serviced by qualified service personnel.
Warning: Disconnect the MediaPack from the electrical mains and from the Telephone Network Voltage (TNV) before servicing.
Note: MediaPack and MP-11x refers collectively to the MP-118 and MP-114 FXO VoIP gateways.
Note: Where “network” appears in this manual,itmeans LAN, WAN, etc. accessed via the gateway’s Ethernet interface.
Note: FXO (Foreign Exchange Office) is the interface replacing the analog telephone and connects to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line from the Central Office (CO) or to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX). The FXO is designed to receive line voltage and ringing current, supplied from the CO or the PBX (just like an analog telephone). An FXO VoIP gateway interfaces between the CO/PBX line and the Internet.

1. Introduction |
1 Introduction
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for quickly setting up AudioCodes' MediaPack (MP-118 and MP-114) Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) voice-over-IP(VoIP) gateways for intermediating between third-party, private branch exchanges (PBX) or various Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) interfaces, and Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 (Office Communications Server 2007). For further information regarding Office Communications Server 2007, refer to Microsoft's Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/uc).
The figure below illustrates a network architecture with a PBX. In this scenario, the AudioCodes' gateway connects to the PBX using analog lines (FXO), and to Office Communications Server 2007 through Microsoft® Mediation Server (Mediation Server) on the IP network. The MediaPack gateways ensure interoperability with leading, third-party PBXs.
Figure 1-1: Network Architecture with PBX
The figure below illustrates a network architecture that provides a direct connection to the PSTN network. In this scenario, the AudioCodes' gateway connects to PSTN using analog lines. At the other end, the gateway connects to Office Communications Server 2007 through Mediation Server on the IP network.

MP-11x & Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007
The AudioCodes' MP-11x FXO gateway can be integrated in the Office Communications Server 2007 / Unified Communications (UC) environments, by implementing one of the following options:
One-to-One: each PBX line connected to an FXO port on the gateway, serves one Office Communications Server 2007 user / endpoint (OCS client) and is defined for automatic dialing for this OCS client. A PBX or PSTN user that wants to call the OCS client, dials the OCS client's PBX line number.
One-to-Many:group of PBX lines connected to the ga teway serves all the OCS clients. When a new call is received from the PBX, the gateway answers the call and performs one of the following:
•Plays a dial tone, after which the caller can dial the OCS client's extension number.
•Plays a pre-recorded greeting message to the caller, requesting the caller to dial the desired OCS client (for example, “Welcome company X, please dial the desired extension number”). The gateway acts as an interactive voice response (IVR) system. For this option, you may need to upload a pre-recorded tone file (refer the User's Manual).
PBX-Sends-Digits: group of Direct Inward Dialing (DID) PBX lines connected to the gateway serves all the OCS clients. When a new call is received from the PBX, the gateway answers the call, and then the PBX automatically sends the OCS client number as it was received.
