Nortel Networks TP-1610 SIP user manual Assigning the Mediant 2000 IP Address

Mediant 2000 SIP User’s Manual 4. Getting Started

4 Getting Started

The Mediant 2000 is supplied with application software already resident in its flash memory (with factory default parameters).

Section 4.1 below describes how to assign IP addresses to the Mediant 2000, while Section 4.1.2 on page 35 describes how to set up the Mediant 2000 with basic parameters using a standard Web browser (such as Microsoft TM Internet Explorer).

For detailed information on how to fully configure the gateway, refer to the Web Interface, described in Section 5 on page 39.

4.1Assigning the Mediant 2000 IP Address

The Mediant 2000 is composed of one or two identical media gateway modules. These media

gateways are fully independent, each gateway having its own MAC and IP addresses (Table 4-1shows the default IP addresses of the Mediant 2000). To assign an IP address to each of the Mediant 2000 modules use one of the following methods:

•HTTP using a Web browser (refer to Section 4.1.1 below).

•BootP (refer to Section 4.1.2 on page 36).

•Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) (refer to Section 10.2 on page 169).

You can use the ‘Reset’ button to restore the Mediant 2000 networking parameters to their factory default values (refer to Section 4.2 on page 36).

Table 4-1: Mediant 2000 Default Networking Parameters

Mediant 2000 Version	Default Value
Single module (up to 8 Trunks)	10.1.10.10
Double module (up to 16 Trunks)	10.1.10.10 (Trunks 1-8) and 10.1.10.11 (Trunks 9-16)

Default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, default gateway IP address is 0.0.0.0

4.1.1Assigning an IP Address Using HTTP

To assign an IP address using HTTP, take these 9 steps:

1.Disconnect the Mediant 2000 from the network and reconnect it to your PC using one of the following two methods:

Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the network interface on your PC to a port on a network hub / switch. Use a second standard Ethernet cable to connect the Mediant 2000 to another port on the same network hub / switch.

Use an Ethernet cross-over cable to directly connect the network interface on your PC to the Mediant 2000.

2.Change your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to correspond with the Mediant 2000 factory default IP address and subnet mask, shown in Table 4-1. For details on changing the IP address and subnet mask of your PC, refer to Windows™ Online Help (Start>Help).

3.Access the Mediant 2000 first module’s Embedded Web Server (refer to Section 5.6 on page 41).

4.In the ‘Quick Setup’ screen (shown in Figure 4-1), set the Mediant 2000 ‘IP Address’, ‘Subnet Mask’ and ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ fields under ‘IP Configuration’ to
