Mediatrix 4104 13
4. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the Reset / Default switch 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 5-10 seconds). Only the
Power and Ready LEDs should go on blinking to inform you that
the recovery mode procedure has been performed.
After a recovery mode is performed, the Mediatrix 4104 uses the default IP address 192.168.0.1.
Refer to
“Recovery Mode” on page 19 for details on the recovery mode procedure.
You must perform the recovery mode in a closed network and perform it on only one Mediatrix 4104
at a time, since the default IP address is the same on every unit.
Initial Provisioning Sequence
When starting the Mediatrix 4104 for the first time, it needs to be configured before it can support calls. This
process is known as
provisioning . This sequence assumes that you have installed the Mediatrix 4104
hardware as per “Hardware Connection” on page 10 .
The Mediatrix 4104 requests its configuration only on the first restart. You can change the configuration at will
after the initial provisioning and the provisioning system can refresh the Mediatrix 4104 configuration. The
provisioning system consists of the Management Server and a DHCP server. The Management Server
includes a provisioning client, provisioning server, and SNMP proxy server.

Initial provisioning sequence:
1. When the Mediatrix 4104 starts, it broadcasts a message requesting DHCP services (if the unit is
configured to start in DHCP mode).
2. The DHCP server responds with a set of IP addresses and network parameters, one of which is the
Mediatrix 4104 IP address.
The following are some of the network parameters assigned via DHCP:
• Mediatrix 4104 IP address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Router IP address
• Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses
• Management Server IP address and port number (optional)
• Configuration file server IP address and port number (optional)
• SIP Servers IP address and port number
3. The Mediatrix 4104 may request its configuration in two ways:
• by using the IP address of the Management Server to request its configuration.
• by using a configuration file.
