AudioCodes Mediant 1000
From Zenitel Wiki
This article describes the setup of the AlphaCom E system and the AudioCodes Mediant 1000 Gateway. The Mediant 1000 supports mixed digital and analog interface configurations, providing up to four E1/T1/J1 spans and up to 24 analog interfaces in various FXO/FXS configurations. Although this article describes the configuration for digital interface E1 using QSIG protocol, it will also be useful when configuring the Mediant 1000 for analog FXO/FXS or ISDN lines.

AudioCodes Mediant 1000 Configuration
Configure Network Parameters
The AudioCodes Mediant 1000 VoIP Gateway comes with default network parameters (factory default parameters).
Before you can set up the gateway in the network, you have to change the default IP address to a fixed IP address in your network environment. The unit is configured from a web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox. Consult the network administrator to get the correct IP address.
Follow these steps:
- Load factory network parameters and reset the username and password to its default settings (username: Admin, password: Admin) by pressing the reset button located to the right of ethernet port II, and directly above the RS-232 port, labeled // for minimum 6 seconds.
- The VoIP Gateway will now get the IP address 192.168.0.2, submask 255.255.255.0.
- Change the IP address of your PC to 192.168.0.10, submask 255.255.255.0.
- Connect the LAN port of the PC to the Ethernet port I of the VoIP Gateway. Use a crossed cable or connect the PC and the VoIP Gateway to a common switch using straight cables.
- Start your Web Browser and type 'http://192.168.0.2' in the URL field. A log-in window appear, type in user name Admin and password Admin. (Case-sensitive!). Now the ‘Quick Setup’ screen opens.

IP to Trunk Group routing
In Protocol Management > Routing Tables > IP to Hunt Group Routing you specify the Trunk Group ID to use for call from IP (i.e. calls from AlphaCom E). In the example below all calls from AlphaCom are routed to Trunk Group 1.
Telephone Network to AlphaCom
Because the AlphaCom is defined as a Proxy Server in the SIP Gateway, you do not need to configure any Tel to IP Routing. The calling telephone number is automatically forwarded to the Proxy Server (i.e. the AlphaCom).
