Physical Description of Front Panel

[Number and type of modules depend on ordered hardware configuration]

1. Fan Tray module #1 and a STATUS LED indicating status of fan and Power Supply #2 module:

2. (Slots 1 and 2) Figure shows unused chassis slots covered by slot covers. The two slots can house an optional Media Processing Module (MPM) that provides additional digital signaling resources (DSP) for transcoding sessions. The MPM module occupies two slots.
   Note: The MPM is a separate orderable item.

3. (Slots 3 and 4) SBC CPU AMC module, occupying two chassis slots. The module provides the following:

   • Central processing unit (CPU).
   • RS-232 port interface (I0I0) for serial communication.
   • Reset pinhole button (//) for resetting the device (press up to 5 seconds) and for restoring the device to factory defaults (press 15 to 20 seconds, not more).
   • 8 x 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting to the IP network. The ports operate in active-standby pairs, providing 1+1 Ethernet port redundancy. The ports support half- and full-duplex modes, auto-negotiation, straight-through and crossover cable detection.

4. (Slots 5 and 6) Figure shows unused chassis slots covered by slot covers. The slots can house one of the following optional modules:

   • MPM module (only if an MPM module is also housed in slots 1 and 2). The MPM module occupies two slots.
   • OSN server modules, where the OSN4 module is housed in Slot 5 and the HDMX module in Slot 6. The OSN platform can be used to host third-party applications (e.g., IP PBX).
     Note: The MPM and OSN modules are separate orderable items.

5. (Slots 7 and 8) Figure shows unused chassis slots covered by slot covers. The slots can house one of the following optional modules:

   • MPM module (only if MPM modules are also housed in slots 1 and 2, and 5 and 6). The MPM module occupies two slots.
   • Secondary HDMX module for the OSN server. The module is installed in Slot 7.
     Note: The MPM and HDMX modules are separate orderable items.

6. Fan Tray module #2 with a schematic of the chassis’ slot numbers and a STATUS LED Indicating status of fan and Power Supply module #1. For LED descriptions, see Item #1 (above).

Mounting the Device

You can mount the device on a desktop using the four anti-slide rubber feet (supplied), which you need to stick on the grooves located on the underside of the device.
You can also mount the device in a standard 19-inch rack, by placing it on a pre-installed rack shelf (not supplied), and then securing it to the rack frame using front-mounting brackets (supplied). For additional 19-inch rack mounting options, refer to the Mediant 4000B SBC Hardware Installation Manual.

Powering the Device

The device provides two hot swappable Power Supply modules, providing load sharing and 1+1 power redundancy in case of failure in one of the Power Supply modules. Depending on ordered power type, the device is powered from a standard alternating current (AC) electrical wall outlet or from a direct current (DC) power source.

Protective Earthing (Grounding)
The device must always be earthed (grounded). Connect an electrically earthed strap of 16-AWG wire (minimum) to the chassis’ grounding lug screw (located on the rear panel), and then connect the other end of the strap to protective earthing.

Connecting to an AC power source:

1. Insert the female socket, on one end of the power cord (supplied), into the AC inlet of one of the Power Supply modules, located on the rear panel.
2. Insert the plug, on the other end of the power cord, into the AC electrical wall outlet.
3. Repeat the above steps for the second Power Supply module, but connect it to a different AC power source.

Connecting to DC power source:

1. Connect the open ends of the two wires on the DC power feed cable (supplied) to the DC power source. Make sure that the wires are connected to the correct polarity (black wire negative; red wire positive).
2. Plug the DC power feed cable, crimped to the terminal block, into the DC inlet of one of the Power Supply modules, located on the rear panel. Make sure that the hook on the terminal block snaps into the groove above the inlet.
3. Repeat the above steps for the second Power Supply module, but connect it to a different DC power source.

Assigning an IP Address

Use the device’s factory default IP address (192.168.0.2/24 and Default Gateway 0.0.0.0) to initially access the device’s Web-based management interface and then change it to suit your network’s addressing scheme for subsequent connectivity.

1. Using a CAT-5e or CAT-6 straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect Ethernet port GE 1 or GE 2, located on the SBC module on the device’s front panel, to your computer’s LAN port.
2. Change the IP settings of your computer to correspond with the device’s default IP address and subnet mask.
3. On your computer, open a standard Web browser (for example, Google Chrome), and then in the URL field, enter the device’s default IP address; the Web Login screen appears:
4. Type in the default username (Admin) and password (Admin), and then click Log In.
5. Open the IP Interfaces table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > Core Entities folder > IP Interfaces).
6. Select the OAMP interface (‘Application Type’ with OAMP + Media + Control), click Edit, and then in the dialog box, modify the device’s OAMP interface.
7. Click Apply to submit your changes; your connection with the device becomes unavailable at the default IP address (due to the new IP address).
8. Change the IP settings of your computer to correspond with the new OAMP IP addresses and subnet of the device.
9. Access the device again, but at its new IP address, and then on the Web interface’s toolbar, click the Save button; the new IP address is now saved to the device’s flash memory.
10. Re-cable the device to the required network. You can now access the device’s management interfaces remotely, using the new IP address.

• Vacant chassis slots must be covered with slot covers (panels) to ensure proper airflow within the chassis.
• Do not place any object on top of the device. Make sure that sufficient clearance from the top and sides (left and right) are maintained to ensure proper airflow to avoid over heating of internal components. The side panels of the chassis where the air vents are located must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating of the chassis components.
• Do not operate the device without the two Fan Tray modules.
• Only modules supplied and approved by AudioCodes may be installed in the chassis slots.
• The device must be installed only in telecommunication sites in compliance with ETS 300-253 requirements “Earthing and Bonding of Telecommunication Equipment in Telecommunication Centers”.
• The device must be installed only in restricted access locations.
• Operate the device only from the type of power source indicated on the chassis.
• Installation of the device must be in accordance with national wiring codes and conform to local regulations.
• Both Power Supply modules must be connected and each must be connected to a different power source. The two power sources must have the same ground potential.
• Use only the supplied AC power cords or DC power feed cables for connection to the power sources.
• The device must be connected to an electrical socket-outlet providing a protective earthing connection.
