Port Numbering Convention
The following describes the BRI connectors numbering convention.
Note: Connectors 2, 3, and 4 are optional and not available on all Mediatrix 4400 models.
In the event of a power failure or network failure, the optional bypass feature permits users to make and
receive calls even when the Mediatrix 4400 is not operating. The Mediatrix 4400 BRI 1 and BRI 2 connectors
may either act as a SCN bypass. For instance, if you decide to connect a SCN line into the BRI 2 connector,
you can use a BRI telephone connected into the BRI 1 connector to make calls.
Furthermore:
The connector on which the SCN line is connected must be configured as a TE.
The other connector must be configured as a NT.
Refer to the Software Configuration Guide for more details on how to configure the line type.
During normal operation, the direct connection between the BRI 1 and BRI 2 connectors is switched out
through commuting relays and both ports resume normal functions. When power is removed from the
Mediatrix 4400, the relay setting is restored to a connected state and the SCN line can be used as an
emergency line. Consequently, a BRI telephone used on the other port is directly connected to this SCN line.
When the power is restored, this automatically removes the Bypass connection; this means that any ongoing
call on the Bypass connection is terminated.

Powering on the Mediatrix 4400
This chapter describes the initial provisioning of the Mediatrix 4400.
IP Address Discovery or Configuration
This section describes how to contact the Mediatrix 4400's management interface to start with unit
configuration.
Note that the Mediatrix 4400 IPv6 interface is disabled by default.
Once the physical connection is complete and the Mediatrix 4400 is powered up, you must first find out the IP
address the Mediatrix 4400 is using. The Mediatrix 4400' s IP address can be set either dynamically or
statically. The default behaviour of the Mediatrix 4400 is to try to obtain a dynamic IP address through a DHCP
server.
Dynamic IPv4 Address Discovery
The default configuration is set so that the unit can be directly plugged into a network and provisioned with a
DHCP server. Media5 strongly recommends to set your DHCP server before installing the unit on the network.
This way, you know the IP address associated with a particular unit.
Caution: If you set a Mediatrix 4400 with a static eth1-4 IPv4 address in a subnet (for instance,
192.168.200.1) and the eth5 interface receives a dynamic IP address in the same subnet (via a DHCP
server or PPP peer), you will not be able to contact the unit via the WAN. You must be careful that a dynamic
IP address does not overlap a static IP subnet that is already configured. Note that the current default value
of the Mediatrix 4400 is 192.168.0.10.
See the Software Configuration Guide for more details on how to set an external DHCP server.
Caution: If you are experiencing problems, or if you do not want to use a DHCP server and use a static IP
address instead, perform a Partial Reset procedure, as explained in “Partial Reset” on page 19.
DHCP servers generally allocate a range of IP addresses for use on a network and reserve IP addresses for
specific devices using a unique identifier for each device. The Mediatrix 4400 unique identifier is its media
access control (MAC) address. You can locate the MAC address as follows:
It is printed on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
It is stored in the System Information page of the web interface.
If you have not reserved an IP address, you can discover which IP address has been assigned to the Mediatrix
4400 by either:
consulting your DHCP server's logs to find out details on the DHCP lease that was given to the
Mediatrix 4400.
using a network packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) to examine the DHCP messages exchanged
between the Mediatrix 4400 and your DHCP server while the Mediatrix 4400 boots up.

Chapter 3 - Powering on the M ediatrix 4400IP Address Discovery or Configuration
To start the Mediatrix 4400 with a dynamic IP address:
1.If you need to discover the IP address of the Mediatrix 4400, install and start your network packet
sniffer.
2.Power on the Mediatrix 4400 by connecting the power cord to the unit and then connecting the other
end to an electrical outlet. If this is the very first time you are installing the Mediatrix 4400, it will
restart twice.
Warning: The electrical outlet must be installed near the Mediatrix 4400 so that it is easily accessible.
Note: If the Power LED is always blinking and never turns on, this means that the Mediatrix 4400 cannot
find a DHCP server. Check that you have a DHCP server properly configured on your network.
You can now access the Mediatrix 4400 web interface. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide
for more details.
Initial Provisioning Sequence
When starting the Mediatrix 4400 for the first time, it needs to be configured before it can support calls. This
process is known as provisioning. This sequence assumes that you have installed the Mediatrix 4400
hardware as per “
The Mediatrix 4400 requests its configuration only on the first restart. You can change the configuration at will
after the initial provisioning and the provisioning system can refresh the Mediatrix 4400 configuration.
Hardware Installation” on page 10.
Initial provisioning sequence:
1.When the Mediatrix 4400 starts, it broadcasts a message requesting DHCP services (if the unit is
configured to start in DHCP mode).
2.The DHCP server responds with a set of IP addresses and network parameters, one of which is the
Mediatrix 4400 IP address.
The following are some of the network parameters assigned via DHCP:
•Mediatrix 4400 IP address
•Subnet Mask
•Default Router IP address
•DNS IP addresses
•Configuration script server IP address and port number (optional)
•SIP Servers IP address and port number
3.The Mediatrix 4400 request its configuration by using a configuration file.
Default Static IPv4 Address Configuration
If there is no DHCP server in your network, then the IP address has to be configured statically.
To start the Mediatrix 4400 with a static IP address:
1.Power on the Mediatrix 4400 by connecting the power cord to the unit and then connecting the other
end to an electrical outlet. If this is the very first time you are installing the Mediatrix 4400, it will
restart twice.
Warning: The electrical outlet must be installed near the Mediatrix 4400 so that it is easily accessible.
2.Reconfigure the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.11 and the Subnet Mask to
255.255.255.0. Restart the computer.

IP Address Discovery or ConfigurationHardware Installation Guide
3.Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the RESET/DEFAULT hole located at the rear of the Mediatrix
4400.
The Power LED will start blinking, and after a few seconds, all the LEDS will start blinking. Release
the paper clip after all the LEDs start blinking and before they all stop blinking (between 7-11
seconds).
This procedure is called a partial reset. After a partial reset is performed, the Mediatrix 4400 uses
the default IP address 192.168.0.1/24. Refer to “Partial Reset” on page 19 for details on the partial
reset procedure.
The corresponding link-local IPv6 address is also available and printed on the sticker under the
Mediatrix 4400.
You can now access the Mediatrix 4400 web interface. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide
for more details.
IPv6 Link Local Address Configuration
If there is no DHCPv6 server or IPv6 router in your network, you can use the link local address to contact the
unit. Note that the Mediatrix 4400 IPv6 interface is disabled by default.
1.With a 10/100 Hub and two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 straight cables, connect both cables to
the Hub; one of them is connected into the connector. The other cable links the computer to the
Hub.
2.Power on the Mediatrix 4400 by connecting the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet.
The electrical outlet must be installed near the Mediatrix 4400 so that it is easily accessi ble .
3.Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the RESET/DEFAULT hole located at the rear of the Mediatrix
4400.
The Power LED will start blinking, and after a few seconds, all the LEDS will start blinking. Release
the paper clip after all the LEDs start blinking and before they all stop blinking (between 7-11
seconds).
This procedure is called a partial reset. After a partial reset is performed, the Mediatrix 4400 enables
its link local IPv6 address. Refer to “Partial Reset” on page 19 for details on the partial reset
procedure.
The corresponding link-local IPv6 address is also available and printed on the sticker under the
Mediatrix 4400.
4.Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 4400’s web interface by using the unit’s link local address.
The unit’s link local address is printed on a sticker under the unit.
The link local address can be determined by using the following pattern: [fe80::290:f8ff:feXX:XXXX]
where XXXXXX are the last 6 digits of the unit’s MAC address. Example: The link local address for
the Mediatrix 4400 with MAC address 00:90:F8:12:34:56 would be [fe80::290:f8ff:fe12:3456].
Note: On Windows, a scope ID needs to be added to the link local address ([fe80::290:f8ff:fe12:3456%11]).
You can find this number by executing the ‘ipconfig’ command in a command prompt. Note the number at
the end of the IPv6 default Gateway for the interface used to contact the unit.
On Linux, the scope identifier may be the link name or the interface number. The interface number can be
determined through the Linux command line.
Verifying the Installation
There are a few ways to verify that the Mediatrix 4400 is properly connected to the IP network and is working:
By contacting it with a SNMP browser
By contacting it via the CLI
By contacting it via a web browser
By pinging it

Chapter 3 - Powering on the M ediatrix 4400Indicators (LEDs)
These procedures assume that you know the IP address of the Mediatrix 4400 you want to verify. If the
Mediatrix 4400 does not respond, do the following:
Verify that the WAN cable is securely connected to the Mediatrix 4400 and to the network
connector.
Be sure that you did not connect crossover network cables.
Verify the state of the IP network to ensure it is not down (the ETH1 or ETH2 LED should be

Partial Reset
The Partial reset provides a way to contact the Mediatrix 4400 in a known and static state while keeping most
of the configuration unchanged.
Following a partial reset, the Mediatrix 4400 management interface is set to the Rescue interface. The default
address for this interface is 192.168.0.1/24 and has its corresponding link-local IPv6 available and printed on
the sticker under the Mediatrix 4400. Any existing network interface that conflicts with the Rescue interface
address is disabled.
You can contact the Mediatrix 4400 at this address to access its configuration parameters. It is not advised to
access the unit on a regular basis through the Rescue network interface. You should reconfigure the unit’s
network interfaces as soon as possible in order to access it through another interface. See “After a Partial
Reset” on page 19 for more details.
In a partial reset, the following services and parameters are also affected:
AAA service: User(s) from profile are restored with their factory password.
SNMP service: Resets the enableSnmpV1, enableSnmpV2, enableSnmpV3 and snmpPort
values to their default values.
WEB service: Resets the serverPort to its default value.
To trigger the Partial Reset:
1.Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the RESET/DEFAULT hole located at the rear of the Mediatrix
4400. While pressing the RESET/DEFAULT button, restart the unit.
Do not depress before all the LEDs start blinking (between 7-11 seconds).
2.Release the paper clip.
After a Partial Reset
Following a partial reset, you should:
1.Create or activate network interfaces as described in the Software Configuration Guide, Chapter
Interface Parameters, Section Interfaces Configuration. Do not disable the Rescue interface!
2.Change the Mediatrix 4400 system management network interface to something other than Rescue
as described in the Software Configuration Guide, Chapter Miscellaneous – Management Interface,
Section Management Interface Configuration.
Note that you must be able to cont act the interface you select in order to continue with the following
steps.
3.Contact the Mediatrix 4400 through the new system management network interface.
4.Disable the Rescue network interface as described in the Software Configuration Guide, Chapter
Chapter 3 - Powering on the M ediatrix 4400Management Choices
Factory Reset
The Factory reset reverts the Mediatrix 4400 back to its default factory settings. It deletes the persistent MIB
values of the unit, including:
The firmware pack download configuration files.
The SNMP configuration, including the SNMPv3 passwords and users.
The PPPoE configuration, including the PPP user names and passwords.
The Factory reset creates a new configuration file with the default factory values. It should be performed with
the Mediatrix 4400 connected to a network with access to a DHCP server. If the unit canno t find a DHCP
server, it sends requests indefinitely.
To trigger the Factory Reset:
1.Power the Mediatrix 4400 off.
2.Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the RESET/DEFAULT hole located at the rear of the Mediatrix
4400. While pressing the RESET/DEFAULT button, restart the unit.
Do not depress before the LEDs stop blinking and are steadily ON.
3.Release the paper clip.
The Mediatrix 4400 restarts.
This procedure resets all variables in the MIB modules to their default value.
When the Mediatrix 4400 has finished its provisioning sequence, it is ready to be used with a DHCP-
provided IP address and MIB parameters.
This procedure can also be performed at run-time.
Note: The Factory reset alters any persistent configuration data of the Mediatrix 44 00.

This Appendix describes the pin-to-pin connections for cables used with the Mediatrix 4400.
RJ-45 Cable
The RJ-45 connector is commonly used for network cabling and for telephony applications. It is used to wire
both ends identically so the signals pass straight through.
RJ-45 cabling is also known as Twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE), Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and 10/100
Base-T.
Cabling Considerations
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
Figure 7: RJ-45 Cable
When connecting an Ethernet cable to the Mediatrix 4400, use a standard telecommunicatio n cord with a
minimum of 26 AWG wire size. It is possible to use either a crossover or straight Ethernet cable to connect in
the Ethernet connectors. These connectors perform automatic MDI / MDIX detection, meaning that they adapt
to the type of cable connected to them.
The auto MDI / MDIX feature works only when the connectors are configured in auto detect mode, which is
the default mode.
Whenever you force the Mediatrix 4400 to use a specific Ethernet mode (for example 100 Mb Full Dup lex),
the type of cable to use depends on the other peer. For example, a straight cable is required to connect the
Mediatrix 4400 to a hub or a switch, while a crossover cable is required to connect the Mediatrix 4400 to a PC.

Crossover Cable
A RJ-45 crossover cable is used when only two systems are to be connected to each other, peer to peer, at
the Ethernet Cards by “crossing over” (reversing) their respective pin contacts. An example would be
connecting two computers together to create a network. The crossover eliminates the need for a hub when
connecting two computers. A crossover cable may also be required when connecting a hub to a hub, or a
transceiver to transceiver or repeater to repeater. When connecting a hub to a transceiver, a straight through
cable is always used.
Note: This is not an IEEE supported configuration and should be used for test purposes only.
A crossover cable is sometimes called a null modem. The coloured wires at either end are put into different
pin numbers, or crossed over.

10 BaseT
An Ethernet local area network that works on twisted pair wiring.
100 BaseT
A newer version of Ethernet that operates at 10 times the speed of a 10 BaseT Ethernet.
Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
An Integrated Services Digital Network configuration defined in the physical layer standard I.430 produced by
the ITU. This configuration consists of two 64 kbit/s “bearer” channels (B ch annels) and one 16 kbit/s “data”
channel (D channel). The B channels are used for voice or user data, and the D channel is used for any
combination of: data, control/signalling and X.25 packet networking. The two B channels can be bonded
together giving a total data rate of 128 kbit/s. BRI is the kind of ISDN interface most likely to be found in
residential service.
Domain Name Server (DNS)
Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. To use a domain name, a DNS service must
translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For instance, the domain name www.example.com
might translate to 198.105.232.4.
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF)
In telephone systems, multi-frequency signalling in which a standard set combinations of two specific voice
band frequencies, one from a group of four low frequencies and the other from a group of four higher
frequencies, are used. Although some military telephones have 16 keys, telephones using DTMF usually have
12 keys. Each key corresponds to a different pair of frequencies. Each pair of frequencies corresponds to one
of the ten decimal digits, or to the symbol “#” or “*”, the “*” being reserved for special purposes.
Glossary
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
TCP/IP protocol that enables PCs and workstations to get temporary or permanent IP addresses (out of a pool)
from centrally-administered servers.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
U.S. government regulatory body for radio, television, interstate telecommunications services, and
international services originating in the United States.
Gateway
A device linking two different types of networks that use different protocols (for example, between the packet
network and the Public Switched Telephone Network).
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
A set of digital transmission protocols defined by the international standards body for telecommunications, the
ITU-T (formerly called the CCITT). These protocols are accepted as standards by virtually every
telecommunications carrier all over the world.
ISDN complements the traditional telephone system so that a single pair of telephone wires is capable of
carrying voice and data simultaneously. It is a fully digital network where all devices and applications present
themselves in a digital form.
