20 Mediatrix 4104
The following variables of the mediatrixMgmt group are all set to static:
• imageConfigSource
• configFileFetchingConfigSource
• msConfigSource
• syslogConfigSource
• sntpConfigSource
All the persistent MIB values are kept.
In this mode, SIP is deactivated. Only SNMP or HTTP can be used to set the IP addresses listed
above and the protocol-specific IP addresses (all IP addresses located under the
ipAddressConfig
folder in the MIB structure).
You can also download a software version, but you cannot download a configuration file.
6. When the Mediatrix 4104 has finished its provisioning sequence, perform the changes, and then
turn it off, plug it on the network, and turn it on again.
When restarting, the Mediatrix 4104 will not be in Recovery mode and will use the IP addresses
configuration set forth in the MIBs.
See “Changing a Parameter Value” on page 135 for more details.
Factory Reset
The Factory reset reverts the Mediatrix 4104 back to its default factory settings. It deletes the persistent MIB
values of the unit, including:

The entire mediatrixMIBs configuration.

The MIB-II setup.

The software download configuration files.

The SNMP configuration, including the SNMPv3 passwords and users.
The Factory reset creates a new configuration file with the default factory values. It should be performed with
the Mediatrix 4104 connected to a network with access to a DHCP server. If the unit cannot find a DHCP
server, it sends requests indefinitely.
You can disable the Factory reset to avoid users deleting the existing configuration. See “Disabling the Factory
Reset” on page 21 for more details.


2. Release the paper clip.

provided IP address and MIB parameters.
