System Overview
AudioCodes’ Mediant 4000 E-SBC is a member of AudioCodes family of Enterprise Session Border Controllers,
enabling voice-over-IP (VoIP) connecvity and security between the Enterprise and Internet Telephony
Service Provider (ITSP) networks. The Mediant 4000 E-SBC is a fully featured enterprise-class SBC, providing
a secured voice network deployment based on a Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) implementaon. The
SBC funconality provides perimeter defense for protecng the Enterprise from malicious VoIP aacks;
mediaon for allowing the connecon of any IP PBX to any service provider; and service assurance for
service quality and manageability.
The Mediant 4000 E-SBC also provides a call “survivability” feature with Local Mode survivability, maintaining
service connuity to Enterprises served by centralized SIP-based IP Centrex servers, or branch oces of
distributed enterprises. Local Mode enables internal oce communicaon between SIP clients in the case of
disconnecon from the centralized IP Centrex server or IP PBX.
The Mediant 4000 E-SBC oers the following redundancy features:
• 1+1 High Availability, deploying two Mediant 4000 E-SBC devices where both are connected to the same
broadcast domain/s.
• 1+1 LAN interface redundancy through its eight 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports. These ports are
grouped in pairs, where one port is acve and the other standby.
• 1+1 Power load-sharing and redundancy through its two Power Supply modules.

Assigning an IP Address to the Mediant 4000 E-SBC
The Mediant 4000 E-SBC includes an embedded Web server (Web interface), providing a user-friendly
graphical user interface (GUI) for Web-based conguraon. The default management and voice IP network
address is used to inially access this Web interface and can be changed if necessary to suit the network
addressing scheme in which the Mediant 4000 E-SBC is deployed. In addion, the eight LAN ports on the
E-SBC module operate in pairs (groups) for providing 1+1 LAN redundancy, where one serves as the acve
port while the other as standby. Each LAN port pair can be connected to a dierent LAN subnet, enabling
the Mediant 4000 E-SBC to bridge the VoIP trac between subnets. The procedure below describes how to
change this default management IP address to suit your network addressing scheme.
To assign an IP address to the Mediant 4000 E-SBC:
1. Connect one of the LAN ports on the E-SBC module directly to the network interface on your
computer, using a straight-through Ethernet cable.
