User's Manual 1. Introduction
Version 4.5.0 11 MP-20x Telephone Adapter
1 Introduction
AudioCodes MP-20x series of analog Telephone Adapters are cost-effective, feature-rich
gateways, allowing the connection of ordinary POTS analog telephones or fax machines to
a Voice-over-Broadband (VoBB) service provider.
The MP-20x series is designed for the rapidly growing residential and Small Office/Home
Office (SOHO) voice-over-IP (VoIP) market. The MP-20x series typically connects to an
existing Broadband Internet device (Cable and ADSL modem, - depending on model), and
establishes a communications path with the service provider network through its IP uplink
connection. Supporting a rich set of subscriber calling features such as caller ID, call
forwarding, and call waiting, the MP-20x series maintains a uniform user experience when
migrating to VoIP services. In addition, the MP-20x series serves as a router with capabilities
such as DHCP, NAT, Firewall, PPPoE and PPTP, supporting connectivity of home PC
networks.
The MP-20x VoIP Gateway is an all-in-one unit featuring (depending on model) a VoIP
adapter, FXS lines, Ethernet LAN interfaces (with an internal Layer-2 switch), and Ethernet
WAN interface.
Utilizing AudioCodes' VoIPerfect™ core architecture, and gaining from its accumulated
experience in providing IP telephony solutions, the MP-20x series combines superior voice
quality and cutting-edge features for end users, such as T.38 Fax Relay and G.168-2004
compliant Echo Cancellation. Low bit rate vocoders (voice coders) can be used
simultaneously on all the telephony ports to save valuable bandwidth.
The MP-20x is available in the following models:

User's Manual 2. Cabling the MP-20x Telephone Adapter
Version 4.5.0 13 MP-20x Telephone Adapter
2 Cabling the MP-20x Telephone Adapter
The procedure below describes how to cable the MP-20x.
➢ To cable the MP-20x:
1. Connect the MP-20x’s Ethernet connector labeled WAN to your cable or DSL modem,
using the Ethernet cable.
2. Connect the MP-20x’s Ethernet connector labeled LAN/PC to your PC, using the
second Ethernet cable.
3. Connect the MP-20x’s telephone ports labeled PHONE to analog telephones/faxes,
using the RJ-11 telephone cables. (The number of telephone ports depends on your
MP-20x model.)
4. Connect MP-20x to a standard 110/220 VAC electrical wall outlet, using the AC/DC
power adapter; the POWER LED is lit (green) and when initialization completes
(~ 1 minute), the STATUS LED changes from red to green.
5. The USB port can be used as a secondary WAN (with 3G/4G dongles) or to connect a

User's Manual 3. Setting up a Network Connection
Version 4.5.0 15 MP-20x Telephone Adapter
3 Setting up a Network Connection
The procedure below describes how to set up a network connection.
➢ To set up a network connection:
1. Define your PC's network connection (refer to 'Defining Your PC's Network
Connection' on page 57).
2. Configure MP-20x's network connection (refer to 'Configuring the MP-20x's Network
Connection' on page 59).
3.1 Defining Your PC's Network Connection
Refer to MP-20x Telephone Adapter Quick Installation Guide for instructions relating to
installation on a Windows™ operating system.
Each network interface on the PC should either be configured with a statically defined IP
address and DNS address, or should be instructed to automatically obtain an IP address
using the Network DHCP server. MP-20x provides a DHCP server on its LAN and it is
recommended to configure your PC to obtain its IP and DNS server IPs automatically. This
configuration principle is identical but performed differently on each operating system.
◼ Refer to 'Configuring Computers Running on Windows 7' on page 57.
◼ Refer to 'Configuring Computers Running on Linux' on page 58.
Note: The setup procedure is in most cases unnecessary due to Windows' default
network settings. For example, the default DHCP setting in Windows 10 is 'client',
requiring no further modification. It is advisable however to follow the setup procedure
to verify that all communication parameters are valid and that the physical cable
connections are correct.
