Thank you for purchasing the Mediatrix 1204 from Mediatrix. The Mediatrix 1204 is a SIP Gateway that connects up to four SCN lines or analog PBX extensions to a Local Area Network (LAN) with access to an Intranet or the Internet to permit high-quality, full duplex, audio/fax communications over IP Packet Networks.
From the perspective of the LAN administrator, a Mediatrix 1204 presents itself like another device to add to the LAN. It requires the same kind of TCP/IP addressing. The Mediatrix 1204 can also use a DHCP server on the LAN to automatically receive its IP configuration assignment.

To prevent fire or shock hazard do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. The Mediatrix 1204 is suited for use in an office environment where it can be wall-mounted, mounted on a standard 48.26 cm (19 in.) equipment rack, or free standing on its rubber feet. In addition, the Mediatrix 1204 can be rack-mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room.
Choosing a Suitable Installation Site Reference Manual (SIP Version) Rack-Mounting The Mediatrix 1204 is 5.5 cm (2.2 in.) high and fits in most standard 48.26 cm (19 in.) racks. Mediatrix recommends to use a rack compliant EIA-310-D. To rack-mount the Mediatrix 1204: Disconnect all of the cables from the Mediatrix 1204.
Place the Mediatrix 1204 right side up on the wall-mounting bracket, with the front facing toward you. Place the Mediatrix 1204 screw holes on the side over the mounting holes of the wall bracket. See Figure 5 for the location of the wall-mounting pieces.
“Hardware Connection” on page Stacking Units For free-standing Mediatrix 1204 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 1204.
If this occurs, allow the unit to acclimatize for an hour before powering it on. Cleaning To clean the Mediatrix 1204, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzine and thinner that are harmful to the unit casing.
Connect the power cord to the Mediatrix 1204 and then connect the other end to an electrical outlet. The Mediatrix 1204 powers up. You do not need to wait for the unit to complete its power up cycle before proceeding to the next step.
“Recovery Mode” on page Initial Provisioning Sequence When starting the Mediatrix 1204 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 1204 hardware as per “Hardware Connection”...
LED Behaviour in Starting Mode When the Mediatrix 1204 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.

Reconfigure a unit. At Run-Time The Default Settings switch can be used at run-time – you can press the switch while the Mediatrix 1204 is running without powering the unit off. Table 14 describes the actions you can perform in this case.
Recovery Mode The recovery mode restarts the Mediatrix 1204 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.
The Factory reset creates a new configuration file with the default factory values. It should be performed with the Mediatrix 1204 connected to a network with access to a DHCP server. If the unit cannot find a DHCP server, it sends requests indefinitely.
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 1204 back to its factory settings if there are configuration problems.
Verifying the Installation Reference Manual (SIP Version) Verifying the Installation There are two ways to verify that the Mediatrix 1204 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 1204 you want to verify.

• Disable: SNMP connections are forbidden. If you are exclusively using the web page to configure the Mediatrix 1204, you could disable the SNMP service agent and forbid any SNMP connection to the unit. If the SNMP agent is disabled and the unit enters into recovery mode, SNMP connections are allowed during that time.
Click Submit if you do not need to set other parameters. Interface Management You can set the administrative state of a line that will be kept until the Mediatrix 1204 restarts. To set the interface management parameters: In the Interface Management section of the Admin page, select the proper command to execute in the Command column.
Ethernet Network Settings SNTP Ethernet Connection Speed You can set the speed of the Mediatrix 1204’s Ethernet connection. You can also set this parameter via SNMP, as described in “Ethernet Connection Speed” on page 135. To set the Ethernet connection speed: In the web interface, click the Management link, then the Network Settings sub-link.
Page 62
The Mediatrix 1204 has the possibility to force the desired Ethernet link speed and duplex mode by disabling the auto-negotiation and selecting the proper setting. When forcing a link speed at one end, be sure that the other end (a hub, switch, etc.) has the same configuration.
The Network Settings section allows you to set the IP information the Mediatrix 1204 needs to work properly. This section is vital to the proper operation of the Mediatrix 1204. If a field of this group is not properly set, the Mediatrix 1204 may not be able to restart and be contacted after it has restarted.
Table 27: Network Settings Configuration Sources Source Description Static You manually enter the value and it remains the same every time the Mediatrix 1204 restarts. Use the static configuration if you are not using a DHCP server or if you want to bypass it.

153. Configuration File Download Server The service allows to download a unique file for each Mediatrix 1204, and/or a file shared among many units. These configuration files may be encrypted or not. You have the choice to perform the configuration file download by using the TFTP protocol or the HTTP protocol.
Configuration File Download Configuration File Server Settings The Mediatrix 1204 must know the IP address and port number of its configuration file server. This server contains the configuration file the Mediatrix 1204 will download. You can assign these information to the Mediatrix 1204 through a DHCP server or manually enter them yourself.
The password in the Configuration File Password field. The Mediatrix 1204 supports basic and digest HTTP authentication, as described in RFC 2617. Set the path, on the remote server, of the directory where the configuration files are located in the Configuration File Path field.

• Cut and paste the path and/or name of the directory that contains the extracted files into the configuration file path of the Mediatrix 1204 (you may have to convert “\” into “/ ”) to eliminate typographical errors. Note that you can define the C:/Root/Download part as you want. The file names may also differ from the example shown above.
Page 71
If valid configuration files are successfully downloaded, then the Mediatrix 1204 automatically restarts to apply all the new settings. If the Mediatrix 1204 does not restart, this could mean the download failed or that the configuration in the file is the same as the configuration in the unit.
Configuration File Download Configuration Files Encryption You can secure the exchange of configuration files between the server and the Mediatrix 1204. A privacy key allows the unit to decrypt a previously encrypted configuration file. To encrypt a configuration file (generic or specific), you must use the MxCryptFile application. MxCryptFile is a command line tool that encrypts files before sending them to the Mediatrix 1204 unit.
Configuration File Download” on page Initiate the configuration file download by setting the System Command drop-down menu of the System – Admin Web Page to updateConfiguration.

Enable the G.711 Voice Activity Detection (VAD) by selecting Enable in the G.711 VAD choice. VAD defines how the Mediatrix 1204 sends information pertaining to silence. This allows the unit to detect when the user talks, thus avoiding to send silent RTP packets. This saves on network resources.
Enable the G.729 Voice Activity Detection (VAD) by selecting Enable in the G.729 VAD choice. VAD defines how the Mediatrix 1204 sends information pertaining to silence. This allows the unit to detect when the user talks, thus avoiding to send silent RTP packets. This saves on network resources.
The Mediatrix 1204 cannot use G.723 and G.726 at the same time due to memory size limitation. You must restart the Mediatrix 1204 when enabling or disabling these two codecs. If both G.723 and G.726 are enabled when you restart the Mediatrix 1204, G.723 is the codec used.
Upon fax termination, if the call is not BYE, the previous voice codec is recovered with another re- INVITE. All lines of the Mediatrix 1204 can simultaneously use the same codec (for instance, T.38), or a mix of any of the supported codecs. Set and enable these codecs for each line.

For a unit to work properly behind a firewall, it must keep a pinhole opened by sending keepalive packets through the firewall. The Mediatrix 1204 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.
Reference Manual (SIP Version) STUN Client Configuration The STUN sub-page of the Advanced page allows you to configure the STUN client of the Mediatrix 1204. You can also set these parameters via SNMP, as described in “Chapter 19 - STUN Configuration” on page 237.

H A P T E R MIB Structure and SNMP This chapter describes how the Mediatrix 1204 uses the SNMP protocol for its configuration. SNMP Overview The Mediatrix 1204 uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for initial software configuration provisioning and subsequent software configuration.
Chapter 7 - MIB Structure and SNMP SNMP Overview SNMP Versions The Mediatrix 1204 supports three versions of SNMP: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. SNMP defines a few types of messages that are exchanged between the manager and agent. SNMPv1 Messages The following messages are specific to SNMPv1.
Always exercise great caution when changing your password or encryption key. Note that you can use the factory reset to clear the SNMPv3 password. See “Factory Reset” on page 21 for more details. See also the Unit Manager Network Administration Manual. Mediatrix 1204...
In this case, you should manually disable SNMPv1 / SNMPv2 so that SNMPv3 works properly. The Mediatrix 1204 thus refuses any SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 request it receives. You can disable / enable SNMPv1 / SNMPv2 by using the MIB Browser included in the Mediatrix Unit Manager Network (or any other MIB Browser) to modify the permissions related to SNMPv1 / SNMPv2 (security model).
The vacmContextTable is not saved under any condition. SNMP Configuration via a Configuration File You can modify the SNMP configuration of the Mediatrix 1204 by inserting an SNMP Agent section in a configuration file and then transferring this configuration file into the unit. This configuration replaces any configuration set in a profile.
Page 136
The SNMP Agent section provides default Mediatrix credentials for SNMPv3. You can change these credentials. To change SNMPv3 credentials: Change the password in the following fields: • usmUserAuthPassword (section Md5DesUser) • usmUserPrivPassword (section Md5DesUser) • usmUserAuthPassword (section ShaDesUser) • usmUserPrivPassword (section ShaDesUser) Mediatrix 1204...
All parameters in the MIBs have been configured by default upon start up. However, if you need to modify some of these parameters (for example, parameters related to the country in which you are), use a MIB browser. Mediatrix 1204...
Event An event is sent to tell what type of data will be received, but not the data itself. This is used to “warn” in advance what is coming. Mediatrix 1204...
The Mediatrix 1204 software parameters are fully programmable by using the SNMP protocol. There are two ways to set up and configure a unit: By using a SNMP browser to contact the MIBs of the Mediatrix 1204. It is assumed that you have basic knowledge of TCP/IP network administration.

• disable: SNMP connections are forbidden. If you are exclusively using the web page to configure the Mediatrix 1204, you could disable the SNMP service agent and forbid any SNMP connection to the unit. If the SNMP agent is disabled and the unit enters into recovery mode, SNMP connections are allowed during that time.
The Mediatrix 1204 must be provisioned with various IP addresses and network parameters to be fully functional. This occurs each time the Mediatrix 1204 is started or when an IP address value is changed in the MIB. The Mediatrix 1204 can use static network parameters as well as parameters provided by a DHCP server or even a DNS.
Description Static You manually enter the value and it remains the same every time the Mediatrix 1204 restarts. If you do not specify a value, a default static value applies. DHCP The value is obtained at start-time by querying a DHCP server and using standard DHCP fields or options.
Dial “*#*0” and listen for the IP address that is given. Static Configuration Using static IP addresses allows you to bypass the DHCP server or still be able to use the Mediatrix 1204 if you are not running a DHCP server.
The ipAddressConfigLocalHost group allows you to set the IP information the Mediatrix 1204 needs to work properly. This group is vital to the proper operation of the Mediatrix 1204. If a variable of this group is not properly set, the Mediatrix 1204 may not be able to restart and be contacted after it has restarted.
Page 147
In the Unit Manager Network Administration Manual, refer to chapter Working with SNMP, section Setting Unit SNMP Preferences. The Mediatrix 1204 uses the SNMP protocol for software configuration. Set the following SNMP-related variable to properly use the protocol. Table 68: SNMP Configuration Variables...
Chapter 8 - IP Address and Network Configuration Services Static DNS By default, the Mediatrix 1204 receives DNS IP addresses according to the configuration source you have defined in the localHostSelectConfigSource variable. In general, these addresses are provided by an ISP (Internet Service Provider) via DHCP.
The ipAddressConfigImage group provides the configuration necessary to download applications into the Mediatrix 1204. This includes emergency downloads in case of repetitive failure to start the main application. In the Unit Manager Network Administration Manual, refer to chapter Administration Parameters, section Software and Emergency Download.
Note: If you change the value of the msStaticTrapPort variable, change the port used in the management server. Not doing so will prevent you from viewing the received traps from the unit. Mediatrix 1204...
StaticHost configFileFetching Static Port Restart the Mediatrix 1204 so that the changes may take effect.

DHCP server already has options that can be set to provide time server addresses, and the order in which clients use them to attempt to discover servers. The Mediatrix 1204 uses Option 42 to specify the IP address corresponding to the server that provides NTP/ SNTP (RFC 1769).
Many network switches use the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to manage Ethernet ports activity. If the Mediatrix 1204 is connected to such a switch, the switch may shut down the matching Ethernet port for at least one minute. This shutdown on the switch side can prevent proper communication. It may thus take up to three minutes before the unit receives an answer to its request for DHCP options.
4 seconds delay seventh request: 8 seconds delay etc. The Mediatrix 1204 stops broadcasting as soon as it receives at least one reply. If the offer is valid, the Mediatrix 1204 takes it and continues its initialization procedure. Note: If the localHostSelectConfigSource variable is set to static and any other xxSelectConfigSource variable is set to dhcp, the Mediatrix 1204 makes its DHCP request that will be released immediately.

This assumes that the Mediatrix 1204 is set to get its IP information via a DHCP server. If the Mediatrix 1204 is configured to request some DHCP options but does not require an IP address from the server, the amount of time it will wait for an answer before proceeding further is configurable as defined in “Appendix - DHCP Options Waiting Time”...
This protocol can only detect the connection speed; the duplex mode cannot be detected. In this case, the connection may not be established. The Mediatrix 1204 has the possibility to force the desired Ethernet link speed and duplex mode by disabling the auto-negotiation and selecting the proper setting (sysConfigNetworkEthernetSpeed variable). When forcing a link speed at one end, be sure that the other end (a hub, switch, etc.) has the same configuration.

Software Servers Configuration Software Servers Configuration The Mediatrix 1204 must know the IP address and port number of its Primary and Secondary software servers. These servers contain the files required for the software update. You can assign these information to the Mediatrix 1204 through a DHCP server or manually enter them yourself in static variables.
Use the static configuration if you are not using a DHCP server or if you want to bypass it. To use static information: In the ipAddressConfig folder, locate the imageSelectConfigSource variable. This variable defines whether the Mediatrix 1204 must ask for its Image server settings through a DHCP server or not. Set the imageSelectConfigSource variable to static.
The Mediatrix 1204 first downloads a file called “setup.inf”. This file contains the list of all the other files to download, depending on the product. The “setup.inf” file and all the other files must be in the same directory.
Page 201
This is the location of the “setup.inf” file that contains the list of the files to download into the Mediatrix 1204. The “setup.inf” file and all the other files must be in the same directory.

Restart the Mediatrix 1204 so that the changes may take effect. Dialing Settings Dialing settings allow you to configure how the Mediatrix 1204 dials numbers. These settings apply only to IP network to SCN calls. You can also set these parameters via the web interface, as described in “FXO Port”...
Restart the Mediatrix 1204 so that the changes may take effect. Answering Delay The answering delay is the period the Mediatrix 1204 waits before answering an incoming SCN call. To configure the answering delay: In the fxoMIB, set the answering delay in the fxoPreAnswerDelay variable.
This mechanism helps to avoid collisions between incoming and outgoing SCN calls. When enabling the dial tone detection, the Mediatrix 1204 waits for a dial tone on the SCN before initiating the dialing sequence. If the unit does not detect a dial tone, it considers the line as busy with an incoming SCN call.
440 Hz Set the dial tone detection timeout in the fxoDialtoneDetectionTimeout variable. This indicates how long the Mediatrix 1204 waits, in milliseconds (ms), for a dial tone before it considers the line is busy with an incoming SCN call. Restart the Mediatrix 1204 so that the changes may take effect.
Most PBXs/ACDs/COs offer the possibility to introduce a Current Drop as part of the far end disconnect signal. The Mediatrix 1204 will detect a Current Drop if this signal is maintained for at least 600 ms with an open circuit or has a current drop lower than 0.4 mA.
The silence detection feature applies when two parties are in communication and one of them hangs up. It allows the Mediatrix 1204 to close a line when no voice activity or silence is detected for a specified amount of time.

Temporary Administrative State You can set the administrative state of a line that will be kept until the Mediatrix 1204 restarts. Once the unit restarts, it uses the permanent state defined for each line. See “Permanent Administrative State”...
An algorithm allows to choose the line to use upon a new incoming call. Currently, there is only one group that contains all the FXO lines. Future versions of the Mediatrix 1204 will allow you to define additional groups.
With such a configuration, a call made from line #2 of a Mediatrix 1104 is processed on line #2 of the Mediatrix 1204. On the other hand, if a caller from the SCN calls line #3 of the Mediatrix 1204, the call is automatically redirected to line #3 of the Mediatrix 1104.
Line Selection Algorithm Upon receiving a call, you can define in which way the Mediatrix 1204 selects a line to distribute the call load across all lines. Before accepting to use a line, the Mediatrix 1204 must check the following: The line’s administrative status is idle.
Codec Descriptions The four lines of the Mediatrix 1204 can simultaneously use the same codec (for instance, G.711 PCMA), or a mix of any of the supported codecs. Set and enable these codecs for each line. Table 123: Codecs Comparison...
Page 226
The Mediatrix 1204 cannot use G.723 and G.726 at the same time due to memory size limitation. You must restart the Mediatrix 1204 when enabling or disabling these two codecs. If both G.723 and G.726 are enabled when you restart the Mediatrix 1204, G.723 is the codec used.
G.729 Annex A. A G.729 or G.729 Annex A frame contains 10 octets, while the G.729 Annex B comfort noise frame occupies 2 octets. The Mediatrix 1204 supports G.729A and G.729AB for encoding and G.729, G.729A and G.729AB for decoding.

DTMF sequence back by re- generating the true tones. Such a mechanism is known as out-of-band DTMF. The Mediatrix 1204 receives and sends out-of-band DTMFs as per RFC 2833 using RTP. DTMFs supported are 0-9, A-D, *, #.
When the feature is enabled: The Mediatrix 1204 sends a separate SIP INFO method every time a digit is entered during the call. The Mediatrix 1204 plays each DTMF sent in a separate message upon receiving a valid SIP INFO message.
205), or the variable telephonyAttributesHookFlashProcessing to outOfBandUsingRtp (“Hook Flash Processing” on page 256), the Mediatrix 1204 will advertise the support for events 0-15; it will assume support for events 0-15 when support for RFC 2833 is received in an announcement. disable This creates a deliberate deviance to RFC 2833 as support of basic events is not automatic.
Set an inter-digit dial delay in the analogScnGwInterDigitDial Delay variable. This is the delay, in milliseconds (ms), between two DTMFs when dialing the destination phone number. This is useful when the Mediatrix 1204 receives DTMFs out-of-band faster than it can signal them.
Mediatrix 1204 is connected suffers from a high level of congestion, the jitter buffer protection level should be higher. If the network to which the Mediatrix 1204 is connected suffers from a low level of congestion, the jitter buffer protection level should be lower.
Voice Activity Detection Voice Activity Detection The Voice Activity Detection (VAD) defines how the Mediatrix 1204 sends information pertaining to silence. This allows the unit to detect when the user talks, thus avoiding to send silent RTP packets. This saves on network resources.
Table 135: G.729 VAD Settings Setting Description disable G.729 uses annex A only. The Mediatrix 1204 does not send G.729 Annex B comfort noise frames. enable G.729 annex A is used with annex B. The Mediatrix 1204 sends G.729 Annex B comfort noise frames during silence periods.
You can compensate with the user gain if there is no available configuration for the country in which the Mediatrix 1204 is located. Because the user gain is in dB, you can easily adjust the loss plan (e.g., if you need an additional 1 dB for analog to digital, simply put 1 for user gain input).

Upon fax termination, if the call is not BYE, the previous voice codec is recovered with another re- INVITE. All lines of the Mediatrix 1204 can simultaneously use the same codec (for instance, T.38), or a mix of any of the supported codecs. Set and enable these codecs for each line.
The Mediatrix 1204 can send faxes in T.38 mode over UDP or TCP. T.38 is used for fax if both units are T.38 capable; otherwise, transmission in clear channel over G.711 as defined is used (if G.711 µ-law and/or G.711 A-law are enabled).
Restart the Mediatrix 1204 so that the changes may take effect. T.38 No-Signal You can set the Mediatrix 1204 to send no-signal packets during a T.38 fax transmission. The Mediatrix 1204 sends no-signal packets if no meaningful data have been sent for a user-specified period of time.
A user agent is a logical entity that can act as both client and server for the duration of a dialog. Each line (also known as endpoint) of the Mediatrix 1204 is a user agent. You can set information for each user agent such as its telephone number and friendly name. This information is used to dynamically create the To, From and Contact headers used in the request the user agent sends.
User-Agent header could be something like the following: User-Agent: Softphone Beta1.5 You can specify if the Mediatrix 1204 sends this information or not when establishing a communication. To enable sending the SIP User Agent header: In the sipInteropMIB, set the sipInteropSendUAHeaderEnable variable to enable.
• draft-ietf-sip-session-timer-04.txt (expired) You can select the version of the session timer draft that the Mediatrix 1204 uses. Session timer versions other than those provisioned may not work because of backward compatibility issues between the versions. This feature is currently located under the mediatrixExperimental branch of the MIB structure. See “MIB...
You can also set these parameters via the web interface, as described in “SIP Authentication” on page You can define up to five user names and five passwords for each group of the Mediatrix 1204. A group can thus register with five different realms. Keep in mind that:...
SIP Trusted Sources You can configure the Mediatrix 1204 so that it only accepts SIP messages coming from one of six trusted IP addresses. All other SIP messages are ignored. This source address validation takes place at the IP level and does not depend on the SIP header or body.
RFC 3261 – SIP: Session Initiation Protocol You can globally set the transport type for all the lines of the Mediatrix 1204 to either UDP (User Datagram Protocol) or TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). The Mediatrix 1204 will include its supported transports in its registrations.
UDP Source Port Behaviour You can configure if the Mediatrix 1204 always uses the same local port (the port on which it is listening for incoming packets) when sending SIP traffic over UDP. This is called symmetric UDP source port. Symmetric UDP ports are sometimes needed to traverse NAT/Firewall devices.
The Mediatrix 1204 skips over UDP and tries the next target, which is TCP. Again, TCP is still in the penalty box, but this time, it is the last target the Mediatrix 1204 can try, so penalty box or not, TCP is used all the same to try to contact endpoint “B”.
“expires” is a suggestion the entity makes. The “expires” parameter indicates how long, in seconds, the user agent would like the binding to be valid. You can configure the “expires” parameter the Mediatrix 1204 sends. To configure the publications expiration: In the sipMIB, set the sipPublicationProposedExpirationValue variable with the suggested expiration delay, in seconds, of a publication in the PUBLISH request.
This allows you to control how the Mediatrix 1204 interoperates with other vendor’s products and older Mediatrix units.

REFER without Replaces to the Transferee. Note: A side effect is that the Mediatrix 1204 will release the line, then take it again. Note that the Mediatrix 1204 might not use the same line as before. This is a design flaw in the SIP transfer method, which is currently in the known issues of the SIPPING workgroup.
RFC 3261 – SIP: Session Initiation Protocol If a DNS SRV answer contains more than one entry, the Mediatrix 1204 will try these entries if the entry initially selected does not work. You can configure the maximum time, in seconds, to spend waiting for answers to messages, from a single source.
RFC 3264 – An Offer/Answer Model with Session Description Protocol (SDP) The Mediatrix 1204 can provide the direction attribute and the meaning of the connection address “0.0.0.0” sent in the SDP when an endpoint is put on hold. To define the direction attribute when putting a call on hold: In the sipInteropMIB, set the sipInteropOnHoldSdpStreamDirection variable to the proper value.
Page 258
Protocol (SDP) You can define: if the SDP direction attribute is present in the initial INVITE sent by the Mediatrix 1204 if the direction attribute present in the SDP received from the peer is ignored or not To define if the direction attribute is present: In the sipInteropMIB, set the sipInteropSdpDirectionAttributeEnable variable to the proper value.
Reference Manual (SIP Version) Local Ring Behaviour on Provisional Response You can set the Mediatrix 1204 so that it starts or not the local ring upon receiving a “18x Provisional” response without SDP. This setting does not affect the behaviour when the “18x Provisional” response contains SDP, which allows to establish an early media session before the call is answered.
The branch ID is used to facilitate its use as a transaction ID. It must always begin with the characters “z9hG4bK”. If this is not the case, the Mediatrix 1204 uses the branching method as described in RFC 3261, section 17.2.3.
Reference Manual (SIP Version) Unsupported INFO Request You can define the Mediatrix 1204’s behaviour upon reception of an unknown type of INFO request. To define the unsupported INFO request behaviour: In the sipInteropMIB, set the sipInteropAckUnsupportedInfoRequests variable with the proper behaviour.
RFC 3264 – An Offer/Answer Model with the Session Description Protocol (SDP) You can define whether the Mediatrix 1204 requires strict adherence to RFC 3264 from the peer when negotiating capabilities for the establishment of a media session. To define how to process the Offer/Answer model: In the sipExperimentalMIB, set the sipEnforceOfferAnswerModel variable to the proper value.
For a unit to work properly behind a firewall, it must keep a pinhole opened by sending keepalive packets through the firewall. The Mediatrix 1204 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.
Chapter 19 - STUN Configuration STUN Client Configuration STUN Client Configuration The following describes how to configure the Mediatrix 1204 STUN client via SNMP. You can also use the web interface to configure the STUN parameters. See “STUN Configuration” on page 98 for more details.
Standards Supported RFC 1769 – Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) You must enable the SNTP client of the Mediatrix 1204 to properly connect to a a SNTP or NTP server. To enable the SNTP feature: In the sntpMIB, set the sntpEnable variable to enable.

Because the Mediatrix 1204 cannot predict how many digits it needs to accumulate before transmission, you could use the digit map, for instance, to determine exactly when there are enough digits entered from the user to place a call.
International number The solution to this problem is to load the Mediatrix 1204 with a digit map that corresponds to the dial plan. A Mediatrix 1204 that detects digits or timers applies the current dial string to the digit map, attempting a match to each regular expression in the digit map in lexical order.
It indicates that if users have not dialed a digit for the time defined, it is likely that they have finished dialing and the Mediatrix 1204 can make the call. A digit map for this could be:...
Setting up Digit Maps Validating a Digit Map The Mediatrix 1204 validates the digit map as you are entering it and it forbids any invalid value. Setting up Digit Maps The variables related to the digit maps are located in tables. You can create/edit ten digit maps for each Mediatrix 1204.

Allows incoming and outgoing calls. scnToIpOnly Allows only calls from the SCN to the IP network. The Mediatrix 1204 answers incoming calls but does not allow outgoing calls. ipToScnOnly Allows only calls from the IP network to the SCN. The Mediatrix 1204 allows outgoing calls but does not answer incoming calls.
How to contact such a line depends on how your system has been set up. Usually, you only have to dial the number of the SCN line connected to the FXO connector of the Mediatrix 1204. The call is answered and a second dial tone (IP dial tone) is presented to the SCN user.
This feature could be used in the case where a user makes an automatic call to an IVR system, and after a pre-defined delay, the Mediatrix 1204 sends the DTMF tones (PIN) to indicate where the call is coming from.

The Mediatrix 1204 MTU is 1500 bytes, which is the Ethernet typical value. Possible Hardware Problem The implementation of the IEEE Standard 802.1q in the Mediatrix 1204 may have a minor problem because of hardware limitations. 802.1q increases the Ethernet frame header by 4 bytes, adding a Virtual LAN ID and a user_priority. This is useful to limit broadcasts that cross bridges, and it may also prioritize frames in the queuing algorithm of switches.

There may be several possible causes to the issue. • For each SCN port on the Mediatrix 1204, there are two directions of voice traffic. In one direction, voice signals from a remote VoIP gateway arrive at the Mediatrix 1204 as IP packets and are converted to analog signals which are transmitted by the Mediatrix 1204 to the SCN device attached to its SCN port.
