To initiate installation of the Mediatrix 440x gateway, connect the power supply to the power input port
and connect the Ethernet network port to the LAN. The DHCP option on the ISDN gateway is active by
default, so the gateway automatically gets its IP address from the network DHCP server, if available.
Configuring the Network Address, page 4 describes the network connectivity options recommended.
It is assumed that the SPA9000, SPA9xx phones, and the Mediatrix gateway are in the same local
network and in the same VLAN.

Configuring the Mediatrix 440x Gatew ay
Logging into the M ediatrix 440x Gatew ay Web Interface
To access the Mediatrix 440x gateway web interface, complete the following steps:
NoteNote that the PC you are using should be able to access the LVS network.
Step 1In the web browser address field, enter the Mediatrix 440x gateway IP address. In this example, the IP
address is 192.168.1.75.
The login screen appears. (See
Figure 2Login Screen
Figure 2.)
Step 2In the User Name field, enter a user name. (See
The default username is public. Leave the Password field empty unless this has been previously set.
Although the Mediatrix 440x gateway supports DHCP, it is recommended to use a static IP address. This
helps ensure that the gateway is always reachable by LVS devices even if the DHCP server is restarted
and new network addresses are assigned to the DHCP clients. This recommendation to use static IP
addressing also applies to the SPA9000 and the SPA400.
NoteFor information on configuring static IP addresses for the SPA9000 and SPA400, refer to the SPA9000
Administration Guide.
To set a static IP address on the Mediatrix 440x gateway, complete the following steps:
Step 1In the main configuration screen (see Figure 4), click Network, and then click Interfaces.
The Interfaces screen appears. (See
SPA9000/M ediatrix® 440x ISDN Gatew ay Configuration Guide
4
Figure 5.)
Configuring the Mediatrix 440x Gatew ay
Figure 5Sett ing a Stat ic IP Address
Step 2From the Uplink Interface drop-down list, select netwrk; and from the Connection Type drop-down list,
select Static, as shown in Figure 5.
Step 3In the Static IP Address field, type the static IP address and network mask. (See
Figure 6Entering the Static IP Address and Network Mask
Figure 6.)
This example uses 192.168.1.75 as the static IP address, and 255.255.255.0 (/24) for the network mask.
Step 4To complete the configuration, click Submit.
NoteAfter clicking Submit, the unit is reconfigured with the new IP address and your web browser will be
disconnected. To recover access, type the new IP address into the Internet browser address field.
Configuring the SIP Port
Perform the following procedure to specify the gateway SIP port and the SIP proxy server (the SPA9000)
address to which the Mediatrix 440x gateway will route incoming ISDN calls and from which it will
receive outgoing call requests. The SIP port specified should match the configuration on the SPA9000.
Step 1In the main configuration screen (see Figure 4), click SIP, and then click Gateways.
In this example, the affected service is the SIP Endpoint service (SIPEP).
After restarting the service, the correct SIP port appears in the Gateway option. (See
Figure 10Confirming the Correct SIP Port
Figure 10.)
Configuring Communication to the SIP Proxy Server
The next step is to configure communication to the SIP proxy server that the 440x will use to route VoIP
calls (the SPA9000).
In this example, the Mediatrix 440x gateway is configured with the IP address of the SPA9000. The SIP
port used is the port assigned to the Line on the SPA9000 that is configured as the SIP trunk to the ISDN
gateway. In this example, that is Line 3 and the SIP port assigned to Line 3 is 5062.
To configure these settings, complete the following steps:
Step 1In the main configuration screen (see Figure 4), click SIP, and then click Servers.
The Servers screen appears. (See
Figure 11.)

Step 2In the Proxy Host field, enter the correct SPA9000 IP address and SIP port.
Step 3Click Submit.
Configuring ISDN Connectivity
After the ISDN line is connected to the BRI1 port (and the BRI2 port, if applicable), complete the
following steps to configure ISDN settings:
Step 1In the main configuration screen (see Figure 4), click ISDN, and then click Basic Rate Interface.
Step 2From the Endpoint Type drop-down list, select TE (to emulate a terminal).
Step 3From the Connection Type drop-down list, select Point to Multipoint.
Step 4Click Submit.
Step 5Restart the ISDN service from the Services page.
Configuring Call Routing
This section describes how to define the gateway function. In the example used in this guide, the
Mediatrix 440x gateway routes all incoming ISDN calls from the BRI ports to the SPA9000, and directs
call requests from the SPA9000 to ISDN.
This section also describes how to define a hunt group that groups the BRI1 and BRI2 ports on the
Mediatrix 4402 gateway.
NoteThere is no need to define a hunt group if the Mediatrix 4401 gateway is used because it has only one
BRI port.
SPA9000/M ediatrix® 440x ISDN Gatew ay Configuration Guide

Configuring the Mediatrix 440x Gatew ay
To configure call routing, complete the following steps:
Step 1In the main configuration screen (see Figure 4), click Telephony, and then click Call Routing Config.
The Call Routing Config screen appears. (See
Figure 13Call Routing Config Screen
Figure 13).
NoteGo to Step 7 if configuring a Mediatrix 4401 gateway.
Step 2Click the icon at the bottom right of the Hunt section.
Step 3In the Name field, enter the name of the hunt group. In this example, the name is hunt_isdn.
Step 4In the Destination field, select ISDN-BRI1 and ISDN-BRI2 from the Suggestion drop-down list. (See
Figure 15.)
Figure 15
Step 5Submit the changes.
Next, configure the gateway routing criteria. The Mediatrix 440x gateway will route incoming ISDN
calls from the specified BRI port to the VoIP interface, and direct outgoing calls to the BRI port.

Step 8Click Submit
Step 9Click Apply in the main Call Routing Config screen.
Step 10If necessary, restart the affected services, which are marked with an asterisk (*) on the System–Service
screen.
Configuring DTM F Transport
You must configure DTMF transport in the Mediatrix 440x gateway to guarantee that DTMF tones are
properly sent to the SPA9000 so that services such as auto-attendant and voice mail work properly. To
accomplish this, DTMF is sent through RTP using the out-of-band method.
To configure DTMF transport, complete the following steps:
Step 1In the main configuration screen (see Figure 4), click Telephony, and then click CODECS.
Step 2In the Misc section, under DTMF Transport, select Out-of-Band using RTP from the Transport Method
drop-down list. (See
Figure 18Selecting DTM F Transport Met hod
Figure 18.)
14
Step 3Click Submit.
SPA9000/M ediatrix® 440x ISDN Gatew ay Configuration Guide
Configuring the SPA9000
In the typical recommended configuration, the SPA9000 uses Line 1 to connect to the Internet telephone
service provider (ITSP), Line 2 to connect to the SPA400, and Line 3 to connect to the Mediatrix 440x
ISDN gateway.
To complete this configuration, perform the following steps:
Step 1To define the Line 3 parameters, open the Voice tab of the SPA9000 configuration screen, enable
Admin–Advanced mode, select the Line 3 tab, and scroll down to the Proxy and Registration section.
Step 2In the Proxy field, enter the Mediatrix 440x gateway IP address and the SIP port that was configured
previously for the Mediatrix 440x gateway.
In the current example, the address is 192.168.1.75 and the port number is 5060. (See
Figure 19Identifying t he M ediatrix 440x Gatew ay
Configuring the SPA9000
Figure 19.)
Step 3Select no from the Register drop-down list.
There is no need to register because this is defined as a peer-to-peer SIP trunk between the SPA9000 and
the Mediatrix 440x gateway.
Step 4Select yes from the Make Call Without Reg selection list.
Step 5Select yes from the Ans Call Without Reg selection list.
Step 6To set a SIP User ID to identify the Line internally, scroll to the Subscriber Information section and type
Step 7In the SIP tab, scroll to the PBX Parameters section and type the dial-out criteria for this line in the Call
Figure 20Sett ing User ID
Routing Rule field. (See Figure 21.)
This example specifies that when the SIP endpoint connected to a SPA9000 dials a number, different
numbers cause the call to be routed as follows:
•8—Routed through ISDN (Line 3–Mediatrix 440x gateway)
•0—Routed to VoIP ITSP (Line 1)
•9—Routed to the PSTN (Line 2–PSTN)
Figure 21Setting the Call Routing Rule
16
Step 8Again in the Line 3 tab, scroll to the Dial Plan section and update the dial plan of the Line in the Dial
Plan field to remove the “8” before sending the number out. (See
Figure 22Configuring the Dial Plan
Step 9Submit the changes.
Figure 22.)
Now, when any SPA9000 SIP endpoint dials “8” as a prefix before the external number, SPA9000
automatically routes the call through the Mediatrix 440x gateway to ISDN.
NoteMake sure that the dial plan of your phone allows you to dial “8” (or whatever the number defined) as a
prefix to route the calls through the ISDN gateway.
