Reserving an IP Address
Before connecting the Mediatrix 1204 to the network, Mediatrix strongly recommends that you reserve an IP
address in your DHCP server – if you are using one – for the unit you are about to connect. This way, you
know the IP address associated with a particular unit.
DHCP servers generally allocate a range of IP addresses for use on a network and reserve IP addresses for
specific devices using a unique identifier for each device. The Mediatrix 1204 unique identifier is its media
access control (MAC) address. You can locate the MAC address as follows:
It is printed on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
It is located in the sysMgmtMIB under the sysMacAddress variable.
You can dial the following digits on a telephone that is calling one of the SCN lines or analog
PBX extensions connected to the Mediatrix 1204:
*#*1
The Mediatrix 1204 answers back with its MAC address. See “Special Vocal Features” on page 14
for more details.
