Once the physical connection is complete, you will need to power on the Mediatrix 4108iPBX iand find out the IP address it is using. The Mediatrix
4108iPBX's IP address can be set either dynamically or statically. The default behaviour of the Mediatrix 4108iPBX is to try to obtain a dynamic IP address
through a DHCP server.

Dynamic IP Address Discovery

Before connecting the Mediatrix 4108iPBX to the network, Media5 strongly suggests that you reserve an IP address in your DHCP server for the unit you
are about to connect. DHCP servers reserve IP addresses for specific devices by using a unique identifier for each device. The Mediatrix 4108iPBX's unique
identifier is its media access control (MAC) address. The MAC address appears on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
If you have not reserved an IP address, you can discover which IP address has been assigned to the Mediatrix 4108iPBX by either:

consulting your DHCP server's logs to find out details on the DHCP lease that was given to the Mediatrix 4108iPBX.

using a network packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) to examine the DHCP messages exchanged between the Mediatrix 4108iPBX and
