Mediatrix 4400 – Digital Gateway

Hardware Installation

This section describes how to set the connectors of the Mediatrix 4400. 

   

See 

“Appendix B - Cabling Considerations” on page 27

 for more details on the cables the Mediatrix 4400 uses.

Connecting Cables

The following describes how to connect the various cables to the Mediatrix 4400.

Figure 6: 

Hardware Installation

To install the cables:

1.

Before you begin, be sure that the Mediatrix 4400 is powered off.

2.

Connect a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the 

ETH1

 connector of the Mediatrix 4400.

The other end of the cable is connected to the WAN via a modem or other means.

See 

“RJ-45 Cable” on page 27

 for more details on this cable.

3.

Connect a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the 

ETH2

 connector of the Mediatrix 4400 and 

connect the other end to the network card of a computer.

Use a standard telecommunication cord with a minimum of 26 AWG wire size. See 

“RJ-45 Cable” 

on page 27

 for more details.

4.

Connect up to four BRI RJ-45 

straight-through 

cables into any of the BRI connectors

 

(labelled 

BRI 

1

BRI 2

BRI 3

, and 

BRI 4

(BRI connectors 2, 3, and 4 are optional and not available on all models). 

If you are using the Mediatrix 4400 with a PBX, connect the other end of the cables to the PBX.

If you are using the Mediatrix 4400 with the PSTN, connect the other end of the cables to a proper 
PSTN outlet.

If you are using the Mediatrix 4400 with ISDN telephones, connect the other end of the cables to 
ISDN telephones. You have two choices to power your ISDN telephones. 

Provide an alternate power feeding to the ISDN telephones. This could be by plugging 
the telephones into a standard electrical outlet or by using an ISDN device that 
provides power feeding such as an S-bus. This option depends on the type of 
telephone you are using.

Use the Mediatrix 4400’s ISDN Power Feeding feature if available. The versions of the 
Mediatrix 4400 that provide ISDN power feeding are identified as the Mediatrix 
4401

plus

, Mediatrix 4402

plus

, and Mediatrix 4404

plus

. This identification appears on 

the label located on the bottom side of the unit. If you have such a unit, you can directly 

Caution: 

The Mediatrix 4400 must be installed on a circuit equipped with a breaker so that you can easily 

power the unit off if required.
