1 - Check Package Contents

The IP Media Server comes with sliding rails and 

a set of fixed rails for mounting in rack-mount 

systems. The configuration of your racks may 

dictate which rails you are able to use. Refer to 

the installation instructions provided with the rails 

for more information. 

You must also install the rack-mount handles that 

are included with the rails. The rack-mount 

handles hold the front bezel in place.  The front 

bezel includes a lock and key set to prohibit 

access to the front panel buttons while allowing 

you to view the activity LEDs.

Network

Cables connect at the rear of the chassis. There are two 1Gb 

Ethernet ports and a serial port connector. The standard 

Ethernet ports are labeled eth0 and eth1. Refer to the 

Dialogic® IP Media Server - Rear View drawing for the 

location of each connector. 

 

Power

Note that one model of the IP Media Server has two power 

supplies, whereas the other model has a single power 

supply. If you have a single power supply system, plug the 

power cord into the 

F- Front Power Supply

 connector. 

Serial Port

The serial port (RJ45 connector) is located to the left of the 

Ethernet ports. You can connect the serial port to a terminal 

server for alternative access to the system. The default setup 

for the serial connection is Rate: 9600 baud, Bits: 8, Parity: 

None, Stop Bits: 1, Flow Control: None. 

After connecting all cables, power on the system by pressing 

the Power button on the front panel.  Wait until the system is 

fully running, as indicated by the Front Panel LEDs, before 

configuring a management interface (described in step 6). 

The system is configured to run DHCP on the Ethernet 

interfaces (eth0, eth1). If you use DHCP to set the IP 

address of an interface and you know the IP address, then 

you can use the Web User Interface (Web UI) immediately. 

If you do not know the IP address configured on the system 

or to set an IP address for the first time, access the system 

with a monitor and keyboard or over the serial port. Connect 

to the serial port using any standard terminal interface.  

When a connection to the IP Media Server is established, 

the login prompt appears. The IP Media Server is delivered 

with a single administrator access level user defined in the 

system. The login prompt appears as follows: 

{hostname} login:

Use “admin” as the user name to log into the serial port or 

through the console using the Web User Interface (Web UI). 

Select the 

Interface Configuration 

command. 

Specify an IP address for each interface, including eth0 and 

eth1.

To change the IP address of an interface:

• Select the interface to be configured.

• Tab to the IP address field.

• Enter an IP address.

• Enter a network mask.

• Make a note of the IP address and apply the change.

The next screen displayed is the original screen you saw when 

you logged in. Tab to the REBOOT option and press ENTER. 

The IP Media Server reboots and the interface comes up with 

the specified addresses. All further configuration is done 

through the Web User Interface. The Web User Interface 

arrives configured to use HTTP.  If HTTPS is preferred, you can 

install a security certificate and key on the system using the 

Web User Interface. 

The IP Media Server must have its license activated in order to 

become fully functional. Refer to the 

License Activation Guide 

for information about activating your Dialogic® IP Media Server 

license. 

Refer to the Dialogic® 

IP Media Server Installation and Opera-

tions Guide 

for information about configuring and administering 

the IP Media Server.
