Mediatrix recommends to use a rack compliant EIA-310-D. To rack-mount the Mediatrix 1104: Disconnect all of the cables from the Mediatrix 1104.

  • Page 40: Wall-Mounting

    Place the Mediatrix 1104 right side up on the wall-mounting bracket, with the front facing toward you. Place the Mediatrix 1104 screw holes on the side over the mounting holes of the wall bracket. See Figure 5 for the location of the wall-mounting pieces.

  • Page 41: Stacking Units

    “Hardware Connection” on page Stacking Units For free-standing Mediatrix 1104 units, you can stack up to four units on top of each other. If you are mixing a variety of hub units, position the smaller units at the top. To stack units: Use the supplied rubber feet by inserting them into the tabs on either sides of the Mediatrix 1104.

  • Page 42: Condensation

    If this occurs, allow the unit to acclimatize for an hour before powering it on. Cleaning To clean the Mediatrix 1104, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzine and thinner that are harmful to the unit casing.

  • Page 43: Installing The Mediatrix 1104

    Connect a SCN line into the Bypass connector of the Mediatrix 1104 (optional). Use a standard telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size. Connect the power cord to the Mediatrix 1104 and then connect the other end to an electrical outlet. Warning: The electrical outlet must be installed near the Mediatrix 1104 so that it is easily accessible.

  • Page 44: Starting The Mediatrix 1104 For The First Time

    “Recovery Mode” on page Initial Provisioning Sequence When starting the Mediatrix 1104 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 1104 hardware as per “Hardware Connection”...

  • Page 45: Led Behaviour In Starting Mode

    LED Behaviour in Starting Mode When the Mediatrix 1104 starts and it is not configured to use a DHCP server, it uses static IP addresses. If the static information is not valid, the Power and Ready LEDs blink at 1 Hz with 75% duty cycle. This lets you know that you must perform a Factory reset or Recovery mode operation.

  • Page 46: Led Patterns

    Chapter 1 - Installation LED Indicators LED Patterns Table 10 describes the different states a Mediatrix unit can have and their associated LED patterns. Table 10: States and LED Patterns LEDs Pattern State Description Ready In Use Power Booting Follows a hardware start or a reset.

  • Page 47: Booting Led Pattern Description

    See the corresponding LED pattern in “NormalMode LED Pattern Description” on page Booting LED Pattern Description While in the Booting state, the LEDs of the Mediatrix 1104 behave independently; the following table indicates the behaviour for each LED. Table 11: LED Patterns in Booting Mode...

  • Page 49: Default Settings Switch

    Reconfigure a unit. At Run-Time The Default Settings switch can be used at run-time – you can press the switch while the Mediatrix 1104 is running without powering the unit off. Table 14 describes the actions you can perform in this case.

  • Page 50: Recovery Mode

    Recovery Mode The recovery mode restarts the Mediatrix 1104 in a known, static, and minimal state. It is used to recover from a basic configuration error that prevents you to reach the unit through the network. It may serve as a last resort before the Factory reset command.

  • Page 51: Factory Reset

    The Factory reset creates a new configuration file with the default factory values. It should be performed with the Mediatrix 1104 connected to a network with access to a DHCP server. If the unit cannot find a DHCP server, it sends requests indefinitely.

  • Page 52: Software Restart

    You can disable the factory reset procedure, even if users depress the Default Settings switch. Disabling the factory reset means that users will not be able to revert the Mediatrix 1104 back to its factory settings if there are configuration problems.

  • Page 53: Verifying The Installation

    Verifying the Installation Reference Manual (SIP Version) Verifying the Installation There are two ways to verify that the Mediatrix 1104 is properly connected to the IP network and is working: By contacting it with a SNMP Browser By pinging it These two procedures assume that you know the IP address of the Mediatrix 1104 you want to verify.

    A half-duplex connection refers to a transmission using two separate channels for transmission and reception, while a full-duplex connection refers to a transmission using the same channel for both transmission and reception. If unknown, select Auto detect so that the Mediatrix 1104 can automatically detect the network speed. Caution: Whenever you force a connection speed / duplex mode, be sure that the other device and all other intermediary nodes used in the communication between the two devices have the same configuration.

  • Page 66: Network Settings

    The Network Settings section allows you to set the IP information the Mediatrix 1104 needs to work properly. This section is vital to the proper operation of the Mediatrix 1104.

This is the default value. send183WithSdp The Mediatrix 1104 returns a “183 Session Progress” packet with SDP (needed if the endpoint is required to generate ringback on connection).
  • Page 273 For a unit to work properly behind a firewall, it must keep a pinhole opened by sending keepalive packets through the firewall. The Mediatrix 1104 only sends keepalive packets to the last destination for a specific socket. When a unit is not configured with an outbound proxy, it can send, through its SIP socket, messages to various destinations, such as a SIP redirect server, another SIP unit, or a MWI server.
