Comes with CD.

Install Management server software from CD.  Below is quick start instructions.

There is a directory on the CD with pdf's for the 1104.

----------------------------------

The Mediatrix 1104 can be directly plugged into a network and provisioned with a DHCP server.
It is strongly recommended to set your DHCP server before installing the unit on the network.
See the Administration Manual for more details. If you are experiencing problems, or if you do
not want to use a DHCP server, you must perform a Recovery Mode procedure.
Reserving an IP Address
Before connecting the Mediatrix 1104 to the network, Mediatrix Telecom, Inc. strongly suggests
that you reserve an IP address in your DHCP server for the unit you are about to connect. This
way, you will know the IP address associated to a particular unit. DHCP servers reserve IP
addresses for specific devices using a unique identifier for each device. The Mediatrix 1104
unique identifier is its media access control (MAC) address. The MAC address appears on the
label located on the bottom side of the unit.
Connecting the Mediatrix 1104 Hardware
1. Connect analog telephones or fax machines into the Phone/Fax connectors.
Use a standard telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size.
2. Connect a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the Ethernet connector of the
Mediatrix 1104 and connect the other end to a compatible Ethernet interface that
supplies TCP/IP network access (e.g. router, switch, hub or computer).
Use a standard telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size.
3. Connect a SCN line into the Bypass port of the Mediatrix 1104 (optional).
Use a standard telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size.
4. Connect the power cord to the Mediatrix 1104 and then connect the other end to an
electrical outlet. The electrical outlet shall be installed near the Mediatrix 1104 so
that it is easily accessible.
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.
1. When the Mediatrix 1104 boots, it broadcasts a message requesting DHCP
services (if the unit is configured to start in DHCP mode).
2. The DHCP server responds with a set of IP addresses and network parameters. The
following are some of the network parameters assigned via DHCP:
• Mediatrix 1104 IP address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Router IP address
• Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses
• Management Server IP address and port number
• SIP Servers IP address and port number
3. The Mediatrix 1104 uses the IP address of the Management Server to request its
configuration.
4. The Management Server configures the Mediatrix 1104.
Recovery Mode Procedure
The Recovery mode assigns a static default IP address to the Mediatrix 1104.
1. Power off the Mediatrix 1104 by unplugging the power cord.
2. With a 10/100 Hub and two (2) 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 straight cables,
connect both cables to the Hub; one of them is connected into the Ethernet
connector of the Mediatrix 1104 and the other one links the computer to the Hub.
You must perform the recovery mode in a closed network and perform it on only one
Mediatrix 1104 at a time, since the default IP address is the same on every unit.
3. Reconfigure the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.10 and enter the Subnet
Mask of 255.255.255.0. Reboot your computer.
4. Insert a small paper clip into the Default Settings switch hole of the Mediatrix 1104
(located on the back of the unit). While depressing the Default Settings switch,
power the unit on.
Hold the Default Settings switch just a few seconds until all LEDs start blinking.
When releasing the Default Settings switch, only the Power and Ready LEDs should
go on blinking to inform you that the recovery reset has been performed.
In recovery mode, the IP addresses and port numbers are set to their default values
in the MIBs. For instance, the default local IP address is 192.168.0.1.
In this mode, only SNMP can be used to set IP addresses located under the
ipAddressConfig folder in the MIB structure. See the Administration Manual and
MIB Reference Manual for more details.
5. When the Mediatrix 1104 has finished its provisioning sequence, perform the
changes you want, turn the unit off, plug it on the network, and turn it on again.
End User Technical Support
In order to maximize technical support resources, Mediatrix Telecom, Inc. works through its
partners to resolve technical support issues. All end users requiring technical support are
encouraged to contact their vendor directly.
