Mediant 2000 SIP User’s Manual 1. Overview
1 Overview
The Mediant 2000 SIP Voice over IP (VoIP) gateway enables voice, fax, and data traffic to be sent
over the same IP network. The Mediant 2000 provides excellent voice quality and optimized
packet voice streaming over IP networks.
The Mediant 2000 uses the award-winning, field-proven Digital Signal Processing (DSP) voice
compression technology used in other TrunkPack
The Mediant 2000 incorporates 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 E1 or T1 spans for connection, directly to Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) / Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telephony trunks, and
includes one or two 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet ports for connection to the network.
The Mediant 2000 supports up to 480 simultaneous VoIP or Fax over IP (FoIP) calls, supporting
various Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Primary Rate Interface (PRI) protocols such
as EuroISDN, North American NI2, Lucent™ 4/5ESS, Nortel
supports different variants of Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) protocols for E1 and T1 spans,
including MFC R2, E&M immediate start, E&M delay dial/start, loop start and ground start.
The Mediant 2000 gateway, best suited for large and medium-sized VoIP applications, is a
compact device, comprising a 19-inch 1U chassis with optional dual AC or single DC power
supplies.
The deployment architecture can include several Mediant 2000 gateways in branch or
departmental offices, connected to local PBXs. Call routing is performed by the gateways
themselves or by SIP Proxy(s).
The Mediant 2000 gateway enables Users to make low cost long distance or international
telephone/fax calls between distributed company offices, using their existing telephones/fax.
These calls are routed over the existing network ensuring that voice traffic uses minimum
bandwidth.
The Mediant 2000 can also route calls over the network using SIP signaling protocol, enabling the
deployment of "Voice over Packet" solutions in environments where access is enabled to PSTN
subscribers by using a trunking media gateway. This provides the ability to transmit voice and
telephony signals between a packet network and a TDM network. Routing of the calls from the
PSTN to a SIP service node (e.g., Call Center) is performed by the Mediant 2000 internal routing
feature or by a SIP Proxy.

1.2 SIP Overview
SIP is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol used on the Mediant 2000 for creating,
modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions can include
Internet telephone calls, media announcements and conferences.
SIP invitations are used to create sessions and carry session descriptions that enable participants
to agree on a set of compatible media types. SIP uses elements called proxy servers to help
route requests to the user's current location, authenticate and authorize users for services,
implement provider call-routing policies and provide features to users.
SIP also provides a registration function that enables users to upload their current locations for
use by proxy servers. SIP, on the Mediant 2000, complies with the IETF (Internet Engineering
Task Force) RFC 3261 (refer to http://www.ietf.org
).

2-2). The TP-1610 is a high-density, hot-swappable, cPCI resource board with a capacity of up to
480 ports, supporting all necessary functions for voice, data and fax streaming over IP networks.
The TP-1610 is composed of one or two identical media gateways modules: Gateway-1 and
Gateway-2, each containing 240 DSP channels. These media gateways are fully independent,
each gateway having its own MAC (Media Access Control) and IP addresses and LED indicators.
The TP-1610 board is supplied with a rear I/O configuration in which both PSTN trunks and
Ethernet interface are located on a passive rear I/O module (for information on the RTM, refer to
Section
2.4 on page 24).

2.3.1 Board Hot-Swap Support
The TP-1610 cPCI board is hot-swappable and can therefore be removed from a slot (and
inserted into a slot) while the Mediant 2000 is under power. It is recommended though that you
power down the chassis and read the notes below before replacing the components.
For details on removing/inserting the optional CPU board, refer to the directions accompanying it.
Electrical Component Sensitivity
Electronic components on printed circuit boards are extremely sensitive to static
electricity. Normal amounts of static electricity generated by clothing can damage
electronic equipment. To reduce the risk of damage due to electrostatic discharge when
installing or servicing electronic equipment, it is recommended that anti-static earthing
straps and mats be used.

Rack Mount Safety Instructions (UL)
When installing the chassis in a rack, be sure to implement the following Safety
instructions recommended by Underwriters Laboratories:
• Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not
compromised.
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
• Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips.)
To attach the device to a 19-inch rack, take these 2 steps:
1. Position the device in your 19-inch rack and align the left-hand and right-hand bracket holes
to holes (of your choosing) in the vertical tracks of the 19-inch rack.
2. Use standard 19-inch rack bolts (not provided) to fasten the device to the frame of the rack.
AudioCodes recommends using two additional (not supplied) rear mounting brackets to provide
added support.
Note: Users assembling the rear brackets by themselves should note the following:
• The distance between the screws on each bracket is 26.5 mm.
• To attach the brackets, use 4-40 screws with a maximal box penetration length
of 3.5 mm.
To place the device on a 19-inch rack’s shelf, take these 2 steps:
1. Place the device on the preinstalled shelf.
Version 4.4 29 July 2005
Mediant 2000 SIP
2. You’re now recommended to take the optional steps of fastening the device to the frame of
the rack (as described above) while it is placed on the shelf, so preventing it from sliding
when inserting cables into connectors on the rear panel.
