Powering on the Mediatrix 3600
This chapter describes the initial provisioning of the Mediatrix 3600.
IP Address Discovery or Configuration
This section describes how to contact the Mediatrix 3600's management interface to start with unit
configuration.
Note that the Mediatrix 3600 IPv6 interface is disabled by default.
Once the physical connection is complete and the Mediatrix 3600 is powered up, you must first find out the IP
address the Mediatrix 3600 is using. The Mediatrix 3600' s WAN IP address can be set either dynamically or
statically. The default behaviour of the Mediatrix 3600 is to try to obtain a dynamic IP address through a DHCP
server.
You can also access the Mediatrix 3600 through its private LAN interface.
Dynamic WAN 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 WAN IP address associated with a particular unit.
Caution: If you set a Mediatrix 3600 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 3600 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 “
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 3600 unique identifier is its media
access control (MAC) address. You can locate the MAC address as follows:
Partial Reset” on page 20.
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 a WAN IP address, you can discover which WAN IP address has been assigned to
the Mediatrix 3600 by either:
consulting your DHCP server's logs to find out details on the DHCP lease that was given to the
Mediatrix 3600.
using a network packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) to examine the DHCP messages exchanged
between the Mediatrix 3600 and your DHCP server while the Mediatrix 3600 boots up.
Mediatrix 3600 – Digital Gateway
15
Page 26
Chapter 3 - Powering on the M ediatrix 3600IP Address Discovery or Configuration
To start the Mediatrix 3600 with a dynamic IP address:
1.If you need to discover the IP address of the Mediatrix 3600, install and start your network packet
sniffer.
2.Power on the Mediatrix 3600 by flipping the power switch. If this is the very first time you are
installing the Mediatrix 3600, it will restart twice.
3.Power on the PCs.
Your computers do not have to be turned on for the telephone or fax services.
You can now access the Mediatrix 3600 web interface. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide
for more details.
Initial Provisioning Sequence
When starting the Mediatrix 3600 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 3600
hardware as per “
The Mediatrix 3600 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 3600 configuration.
Hardware Installation” on page 14.
Initial provisioning sequence:
1.When the Mediatrix 3600 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 WAN IP addresses and network parameters, one of which
is the Mediatrix 3600 WAN IP address.
The following are some of the network parameters assigned via DHCP:
•Mediatrix 3600 WAN 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 3600 request its configuration by using a configuration file.
Default Static WAN IPv4 Address Configuration
If there is no DHCP server in your network, then the WAN IP address has to be configured statically.
To start the Mediatrix 3600 with a static WAN IP address:
1.Power on the Mediatrix 3600 by flipping the power switch. If this is the very first time you are
installing the Mediatrix 3600, it will restart twice.
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.
3.Power on the PCs.
Your computers do not have to be turned on for the telephone or fax services.
4.Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the RESET/DEFAULT hole located at the rear of the Mediatrix
3600.
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 3600 uses
the default WAN IP address 192.168.0.1/24. Refer to “
partial reset procedure.

IP Address Discovery or ConfigurationHardware Installation Guide
The corresponding link-local IPv6 address is also available and printed on the sticker under the
Mediatrix 3600.
You can now access the Mediatrix 3600 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 3600 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 ETH5 connector. The other cable links the computer to
the Hub.
2.Power on the Mediatrix 3600 by connecting the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet.
The electrical outlet must be installed near the Mediatrix 3600 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
3600.
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 3600 enables
its link local IPv6 address. Refer to “
procedure.
The corresponding link-local IPv6 address is also available and printed on the sticker under the
Mediatrix 3600.
4.Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 3600’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 3600 with MAC address 00:90:F8:12:34:56 would be [fe80::290:f8ff:fe12:3456].
Partial Reset” on page 20 for details on the partial reset
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.
LAN Interface Access
You can access the Mediatrix 3600 via web and SNMP on the unit’s private LAN interface at the address
192.168.0.10. In that case, you must set up your PC to use the private IP address 192.168.0.11.
1.Power on the Mediatrix 3600 by flipping the power switch. If this is the very first time you are
installing the Mediatrix 3600, it will restart twice.
You can now access the Mediatrix 3600 web interface. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide
for more details.
Verifying the Installation
There are a few ways to verify that the Mediatrix 3600 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

This Appendix describes the pin-to-pin connections for cables used with the Mediatrix 3600.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
Ethernet 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
Figure 12: RJ-45 Cable
When connecting an Ethernet cable to the Mediatrix 3600, 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 3600 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 3600 to a hub or a switch, while a crossover cable is required to connect the Mediatrix 3600 to a PC.

The RJ-45 cable uses two pairs of wires: one pair for transmission and the second pair for reception. It is wired
so that pins 1 & 2 are on one twisted pair and pins 3 & 6 are on a second pair according to common wiring
standards which meet the EIA/TIA T568A and T568B requirements.

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.
Figure 14: Crossover Connectivity
E1 PRI RJ-45 Cable
The E1 PRI is usually connected to a PBX or switch – local exchange (LE). Type and pin outs of these devices
vary depending on the manufacturer. The PRI ports pin outs are configurable, so ensure that the appropriate
mode (NET or USR) is configured. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide for more details.
Warning: Hazardous network voltages may be present in the PRI cables. If you detach the cable, detach
the end away from the Mediatrix 3600 first to avoid possible electric shock. Network hazardous voltages may
be present on the device in the area of the PRI port, even when power is turned OFF.
Caution: To prevent damage to the Mediatrix 3600, make sure that you connect the PRI cable to the PRI
port only and not to any other RJ-45 socket.
The following describes the RJ-45 pinout information.
Appendix B - Cabling ConsiderationsRJ-11 (Telephone) Cable
RJ-11 (Telephone) Cable
The RJ-11 cable is commonly used for telephone connection.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port.
Wiring Conventions
For telephone connections, a cable requires one pair of wires. Each wire is identified by different colours. For
instance, one wire might be red and the other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-11 connector must be
attached to both ends of the cable.
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-11 connectors in a specific orientation. The following figure
illustrates how the pins on the RJ-11 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same
orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.

DTE or DCE
A device that communicates over a synchronous serial interface is either a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment)
or DCE (Data Communications Equipment) device. DTE devices usually connect to DCE devices. The
Mediatrix 3600 and a PC are a DTE, while a CLI terminal is a DCE.
Crossover Cable (Null Modem)
The crossover version of the DB-9 cable (also known as null modem) uses a female-to-female cable in any
application where you wish to connect the Mediatrix 3600 with another DTE device such as a PC or
workstation. This cable is required for CLI application.
The purpose of a null-modem cable is to permit two RS-232 “DTE” devices to communicate with each other
without modems or other communication devices (i.e., DCEs) between them.
To achieve this, the most obvious connection is that the TD signal of one device must be connected to the RD
input of the other device (and vice versa).

locations. All data and voice channels are (ISDN) and operate at 64 kbit/s.
North America and Japan use a T1 of 23 B channels and one D channel which corresponds to a T1 line.
Europe, Australia and most of the rest of the world use the slightly higher capacity E1, which is composed of
31 B channels and one D channel.
Fewer active B channels (also called user channels) can be used for a fractional T1. More channels can be
used with more T1's, or with a fractional or full T3 or E3.
Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
A small to medium sized telephone system and switch that provides communications between onsite
telephones and exterior communications networks.
Protocol
A formal set of rules developed by international standards bodies, LAN equipment vendors, or groups
governing the format, control, and timing of network communications. A set of conventions dealing with
transmissions between two systems. Typically defines how to implement a group of services in one or two
layers of the OSI reference model. Protocols can describe low-level details of machine-to-machine interfaces
or high-level exchanges between allocation programs.
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
The local telephone company network that carries voice data over analog telephone lines.
Router
A specialized switching device which allows customers to link different geographically dispersed local area
networks and computer systems. This is achieved even though it encompasses different types of traffic under
different protocols, creating a single, more efficient, enterprise-wide network.
Switched Circuit Network (SCN)
A communication network, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN), in which any user may be
connected to any other user through the use of message, circuit, or packet switching and control devices.
Server
A computer or device on a network that works in conjunction with a client to perform some operation.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
A protocol for transporting call setup, routing, authentication, and other feature messages to endpoints within
the IP domain, whether those messages originate from outside the IP cloud over SCN resources or within the
cloud.

Subnet
An efficient means of splitting packets into two fields to separate packets for local destinations from packets
for remote destinations in TCP/IP networks.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
The basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications
protocol in a private network (either an intranet or an extranet).
V o ice Over IP (VoIP)
The technology used to transmit voice conversations over a data network using the Internet Protocol. Such
data network may be the Internet or a corporate Intranet.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A large (geographically dispersed) network, usually constructed with serial lines, that covers a large
geographic area. A WAN connects LANs using transmission lines provided by a common carrier.
