    3000 digital gateway to act as a gateway with the PSTN. Mediatrix 3000 Digital Gateway Overview These configuration notes apply to the Mediatrix 3000 Series digital gateway products. The Mediatrix 3000 Series digital gateways allow enterprises to lower communications costs over any IP link. The platform supports ISDN E1 and T1 PRI telephony interfaces, as well as ISDN BRI interfaces.
  • Page 4: Deployment Scenario

    Mediatrix 3632 default configuration but can be easily customized for the 3631, 3531, and 3532, so from now on, the device will be referred to as the Mediatrix 3000 DG (Digital Gateway). The following is the network topology to which we will refer in our sample deployment.
  • Page 5: Assumptions

    This configuration note focuses on configuring the Mediatrix 3000 DG and assumes that: the SIP server’s default route’s destination is the Mediatrix 3000 DG, e.g., when a number dialed on an analog phone is unknown, the call is sent to the Mediatrix 3000 DG.

    Once the physical connection is complete and the Mediatrix 3000 DG is powered up, the first thing to do is find out the IP address the Mediatrix 3000 DG is using. The Mediatrix 3000 DG’s WAN IP address can be set either dynamically or statically.
  • Page 7: Web Interface Access

    Web Interface Access The purpose of this section is to log in to the Mediatrix 3000 DG’s web interface. The Mediatrix 3000 DG’s web interface may be used to view the status of the Mediatrix 3000 DG and set its numerous parameters.
  • Page 8: Sip Configuration

    ISDN Configuration The purpose of this section is to configure the Mediatrix 3000 DG’s ISDN PRI interfaces in Terminal mode (TE) for an E1 line type. The PSTN line to which the Mediatrix 3000 DG is connected must be in Network mode (NT). If your setup differs,...
  • Page 9 2. Select the interface for which you want to apply the changes in the Select Interface drop-down menu. Depending on the model of Mediatrix 3000 DG you are using, you may have 1 or 2 interfaces available in the drop-down menu.
  • Page 10 Configuration Notes 281 3. In the Interface Configuration section, set the Endpoint Type field to TE. Leave all other parameters to their default values. NOTE: The Line Coding, Line Framing, and Signaling Protocol fields are left to common default values here. However, they must be compatible with your setup.
  • Page 11 Configuration Notes 281 6. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all of the ISDN PRI interfaces listed in the Select Interface field. 7. Restart the ISDN service as described in Appendix A - Restarting a Service. 8. To confirm that the ISDN configuration is completed and compatible with the rest of your setup, click the Status sub-menu.
  • Page 12: Call Routing Configuration

    Configuration Notes 281 Call Routing Configuration The purpose of this section is to configure the Mediatrix 3000 DG’s call router so it can route calls to/from the VoIP network and the PSTN as described in the Deployment Scenario section. You must configure the call router parameters of the Mediatrix 3000 DG digital gateways so that the calls can properly terminate.
  • Page 13 Configuring the Call Router Hunt Group The purpose of this subsection is to configure a Hunt Group in the Mediatrix 3000 DG, so it can be later used as a route’s destination. In the current scenario, you will use a Hunt Group to group both of the Mediatrix 3632’s ISDN PRI interfaces as one virtual call destination.
  • Page 14 Set the Name field to hunt_PSTN. Use the Suggestion drop-down list to select and add the possible destinations that will be part of the Hunt Group. Scenario, select one by one both of the Mediatrix 3000 DG’s ISDN PRI interfaces (isdn- 6.
  • Page 15 Configuration Notes 281 7. Leave the other fields with their default value. 8. Verify whether or not the ISDN interfaces have been successfully added to the configuration by checking the Destinations field, then click Submit to apply changes and save the new Hunt Group. Page 15 of 25...
  • Page 16 You will apply the configuration later when it is complete. Mappings The purpose of this subsection is to configure Mappings in the Mediatrix 3000 DG, so they can be referred to later when creating routes that need to add/remove a prefix from called phone numbers.
  • Page 17 Configuration Notes 281 Set the Transformation field to Called E164 using the drop-down list. Click Submit And Insert Expression to apply changes, save the new Mapping Type, and proceed to enter new Mapping Expressions associated with the Mapping Type just created. The following window appears. To create a Mapping Expression that removes the prefix from dialed phone numbers that start with 030, set the Criteria field to...
  • Page 18 Configuration Notes 281 Mapping Expression: set the Criteria field to and the Transformation field to 030\0. 10. After completing all the Mapping creation steps, you will see your two Mapping Types and two Mapping Expressions. You will also see the yellow Yes warning you that the configuration has been modified but not applied (i.e., the Call Routing Status differs from the...
  • Page 19 Configuration Notes 281 Route The purpose of this subsection is to configure the Mediatrix 3000 DG so it makes virtual “connections” between call sources and destinations, using existing Mappings and Hunt Groups as needed. 1. Locate the Route section at the top of the window.
  • Page 20 Configuration Notes 281 4. Click Submit to apply changes and save the new route. 5. You are brought back to the Call Routing Config sub-menu. You can see the route you just created in the Route section.

    For more information on the Partial Reset feature, and on what to do after performing a Partial Reset to recover a unit with which you have lost contact, refer to the Partial Reset section of the Mediatrix 3000 Series Digital Gateway Software Configuration Guide.
  • Page 24: Appendix A - Restarting A Service

    Appendix A - Restarting a Service The Mediatrix 3000 DG’s features are divided in logical entities called Services. Some parameters in the Mediatrix 3000 DG require that the service to which they belong be restarted when they are configured in order for their new configuration value to be correctly applied.
  • Page 25 Configuration Notes 281 Restart each service that has a “*” besides its name by clicking the Restart action so it correctly applies its new configuration. 3. Restarting a service may require other services to be restarted. This is why you would see a few services go from the stopping to starting to started states, even if you only restarted one service.
