Thank you for choosing the Mediatrix 4104. This Quick Start will help you to properly connect all of the cables to the Mediatrix 4104 and access its SNMP
interface. You will then be redirected to various Configuration Notes documents that provide in-depth configuration steps of specific installation scenarios.
Please read the Mediatrix 4104 Reference Manual for detailed installation and configuration information.
Step 1 Connecting Cables
The following describes how to connect the various cables to the Mediatrix 4104.
Before you begin, make sure that you have a working network connection. Then follow these steps to install the Mediatrix 4104.
The following describes how to connect the various cables to the
Mediatrix 4104.
1. Before you begin, be sure that the Mediatrix 4104 is
powered off.
2. Connect the power cord to its connector on the Mediatrix
4104. Do not connect the other end of the power cord to an
electrical outlet.
3. Connect analog telephones or fax machines into the Port connectors.
Use a standard telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size.
4. Connect a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the ETH1 connector of the Mediatrix 4104; connect the other end to a compatible Ethernet
interface that supplies TCP/IP network access (e.g., router, switch, hub or computer).
You can either use a crossover or straight Ethernet cable because it performs automatic MDI / MDIX detection.
Use a standard telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size.
5. Connect a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the ETH2 connector of the Mediatrix 4104 and connect the other end to the network card of
a computer.
You can either use a crossover or straight Ethernet cable because it performs automatic MDI / MDIX detection. Use a standard
telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size.
6. Connect a SCN line into the Bypass connector of the Mediatrix 4104 (optional).
Use a standard telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size.
Step 2 IP Address Discovery or Configuration
The purpose of this section is to be able to contact the Mediatrix 4104's SNMP interface to start with unit configuration.
Once the physical connection is complete, you will need to power on the Mediatrix 4104 and find out the IP address it is using. The Mediatrix 4104's IP
address can be set either dynamically or statically. The default behaviour of the Mediatrix 4104 is to try to obtain a dynamic IP address through a DHCP
server.
Note: This section applies to the IP configuration of the ETH1 port.
