• Refer to the Hardware Installation Guide for instructions on how to properly install and connect
the telephony card.
Steps
1)
Make sure an adequate earth ground connection has been made between the grounding screw on
the back of the Mediatrix unit and an appropriate grounding point in your site.
Warning
:
Adequate earth grounding connection of the Mediatrix unit is mandatory to avoid
any damage or injuries.
2)
Connect a 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the ETH1 connector of the Mediatrix
Sentinel.
3)
Connect the other end of the cable to a router/switch connected to your LAN.
4)
Validate the installation.
5)
Turn ON the power sources that are used to power the Mediatrix unit at the circuit breaker
When the unit is brought from a cold to a warm environment, condensation, that might be
harmful to the unit, may occur. If this is the case, wait one hour before connecting the power
cord.
6)
Turn On the power switch of the Mediatrix.
Please note that Redundant Power Supply units do not have a power switch.
7)
Consult your DHCP server's logs to find out your IP address.
You may also use a network packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) to examine the DHCP messages
exchanged between the Mediatrix Sentinel and your DHCP server while the Mediatrix
Sentinel boots up.
Result
You can now use the DHCP IP address to access your unit's management interface.
