AudioCodes Mediant 1000B Quick Manual

Mediant 1000B Survivable Branch Appliance
About this Guide
1
Thank you for purchasing AudioCodes Mediant 1000B Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA) for the integration
into the Microsoft® Lync™ Server environment.
This quick guide provides information on setting up your Mediant 1000B SBA for initial network connectivity.
Once you have established communication with Mediant 1000B SBA, refer to the SBA-related documentation,
which can be downloaded from AudioCodes Web site (see Section 9, Documentation and Software).
Before you start, please read the safety instructions provided in the Regulatory Information document, which
can be downloaded from AudioCodes Web site at http://www.audiocodes.com/library.
2 System Overview
In the Lync Server environment, given the centralized deployment model, Unified Communication (UC) users
in a remote site are dependent on the servers in the enterprise's data center (typically at headquarters)
for their communication, and hence are vulnerable to losing communication capabilities when the WAN is
unavailable. Given the always-available expectation for voice, it is imperative that the UC solution continues to
provide the ability for branch users to make and receive calls when the WAN from the branch to the primary
data center is unavailable.
To provide voice services to branch users during a WAN outage, AudioCodes provides a branch office
survivability solution–the Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA) application–which is hosted on the OSN server
platform running on AudioCodes Mediant 1000B SBA located at the branch office. During a WAN connectivity
failure, Mediant 1000B SBA maintains call connectivity for Microsoft users located at the branch office–Lync
Server clients (for example, Web-based users) and devices (for example, IP phones)–and between these users
and the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The PSTN termination is an optional feature that can be
provided by the E1/T1/BRI/FXO interface offered by the Mediant 1000B SBA.

Assigning an IP Address to the PSTN Gateway
6
The Mediant 1000B includes an embedded Web server (Web interface), providing a user-friendly graphical
user interface (GUI) for configuring gateway-related (analog, digital, and SIP telephony) functionality
(termed PSTN Gateway). The default IP address (192.168.0.2 and subnet 255.255.255.0) used for accessing
this Web interface must be changed to suit the networking scheme in which your Mediant 1000B SBA
is deployed. Once you have defined this IP address, you need to define it in the SBA Web-based wizard,
discussed briefly in Section 7, Connecting to the SBA Web-Based Wizard.
To assign an IP address to the Mediant 1000B PSTN Gateway:
1. Connect one of the LAN ports on the Mediant 1000B CRMX module directly to a PC, using
a straight- through Ethernet cable.
2. Change the IP address and subnet mask of your computer to correspond with the Mediant
1000B default IP address and subnet mask.
3. Open a standard Web browser, and then in the URL address field, enter the default IP address
(e.g., http://192.168.0.2).

Login; the Web interface is accessed, displaying the Home page.
5. Open the Interface table (Configuration tab > VoIP menu > Network submenu
> IP Interfaces table), as shown below:
6. Select Index 0, which is the network interface for OAMP + Media + Control (i.e., the VoIP
and Management LAN interface), and then click Edit.
7. Configure a LAN network address so that it corresponds to your network IP addressing scheme,
and then click Add.
8. On the toolbar, from the Device Actions drop-down list, choose Reset, and then in the Maintenance
Actions page, click the Reset button; Mediant 1000B resets and your settings are saved to the
flash memory.
