IP Address Discovery or Configuration SIP Version
Dynamic IPv4 Address Discovery
Before connecting the Mediatrix 4104 to the network, Media5 strongly suggests that you reserve an IP address in your DHCP server for the unit you are
about to connect. DHCP servers reserve IP addresses for specific devices by using a unique identifier for each device. The Mediatrix 4104's unique
identifier is its media access control (MAC) address. The MAC address appears on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
If you have not reserved an IP address, you can discover which IP address has been assigned to the Mediatrix 4104 by either:
taking one of the telephones connected to the Mediatrix 4104 and dialing *#*0 on the keypad. The current IP address of the Mediatrix
4104 (static or DHCP) will be stated.
consulting your DHCP server's logs to find out details on the DHCP lease that was given to the Mediatrix 4104.
using a network packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) to examine the DHCP messages exchanged between the Mediatrix 4104 and your
DHCP server while the Mediatrix 4104 boots up.
1. If you need to discover the IP address of the Mediatrix 4104, use one of the methods listed above.
2. Power on the Mediatrix 4104 by connecting the other end of the power cord to an electrical earthed socket-outlet. The electrical outlet must be
installed near the Mediatrix 4104 so that it is easily accessible.
3. Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 4104 web interface.
Default Static IPv4 IP Address Configuration
If there is no DHCP server in your network, then the IP address has to be configured statically.
1. With a 10/100 Hub and two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 straight cables, connect both cables to the Hub; one of them is connected into the
ETH1 connector. The other cable links the computer to the Hub.
2. Reconfigure the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.10 and the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0. Restart the computer.
3. Power on the Mediatrix 4104 by connecting the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet. The electrical outlet must be installed near the
Mediatrix 4104 so that it is easily accessible.
4. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the Reset / Default hole located at the rear of the Mediatrix 4104.
The Power LED will start blinking, and after a few seconds, all the LEDS will start blinking. Release the paper clip after all the LEDs start blinking
and before they all stop blinking (between 7-11 seconds).
This procedure is called a partial reset. After a partial reset is performed, the Mediatrix 4104 uses the default IP address 192.168.0.1/24. Refer
to the Hardware Configuration Guide, Chapter Powering on the Mediatrix 4104 for details on the partial reset procedure.
5. Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 4104 web interface.
IPv6 Link Local Address Configuration
You can also use the link local address to contact the unit. Note that the Mediatrix 4104 IPv6 interface is disabled by default.
1. With a 10/100 Hub and two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 straight cables, connect both cables to the Hub; one of them is connected into the
ETH1 connector. The other cable links the computer to the Hub.
2. Power on the Mediatrix 4104 by connecting the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet. The electrical outlet must be installed near the
Mediatrix 4104 so that it is easily accessible.
3. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the Reset / Default hole located at the rear of the Mediatrix 4104.
The Power LED will start blinking, and after a few seconds, all the LEDS will start blinking. Release the paper clip after all the LEDs start blinking
and before they all stop blinking (between 7-11 seconds).
This procedure is called a partial reset. After a partial reset is performed, the Mediatrix 4104 enables its link local IPv6 address. Refer to the
Hardware Configuration Guide, Chapter Powering on the Mediatrix 4104 for details on the partial reset procedure.
4. Proceed with accessing the Mediatrix 4104’s web interface by using the unit’s link local address.
The unit’s link local address is printed on a sticker under the unit.
Note: Make sure any IPv4 DHCP-provided address is outside of 192.168.0.x or otherwise, contact the unit on the LAN port and change the LAN
IP address for an address that does not clash with the DHCP-provided address.
Note: If the Power LED is always blinking and never turns on, this means that the Mediatrix 4104 cannot find an IPv4 DHCP server. Check that
you have a DHCP server properly configured on your network. If you do not have a DHCP server, goto the section “Default Static IPv4 IP Address
Configuration” on page 2.
Note: This section applies if your unit supports IPv6.
