The Mediatrix® 1204 is a highquality and cost efficient VoIP gateway connecting IP networks to the PSTN. It is the ideal solution to deploy private or small hosted toll bypass networks. For enterprise end-users, the Mediatrix 1204 provides a simple, transparent and cost-effective way of maintaining a connection to the PSTN while migrating to an IPbased telephony infrastructure.
The Mediatrix 1204 connects up to 4 FXO trunks to an IP Ethernet access The Mediatrix 1204 provides PSTN access for various VoIP endpoints such as IP phones, FXS devices, softphones and IP-based PBX and Key Systems. It is an efficient solution to maintain local PSTN breakout in remote locations that are converted to IP.
The Mediatrix 1204 provides a gateway to the PSTN for IPbased PBX and Key Systems. Thereby, it allows the deployment of VoIP Remote Line Extension and Branch Office Connectivity solutions without sacrificing any local PSTN access points.
By connecting CO lines from selected sites to a VoIP network, the Mediatrix 1204 enables service providers and enterprises to use a VoIP connection between predetermined local networks. When used in conjunction with Mediatrix® Dial IPCS communication server, routing schemes and calling rights can be programmed in order to optimize the use of resources and minimize long distance fees.
As all other Mediatrix devices, the 1204 provides web interface, giving users a convenient access to the unit for initial set-up. The devices can also auto-provision by fetching their encrypted configuration from a TFTP or HTTP server making installation secure and transparent to the end-users. To further facilitate deployments, factory loaded configurations are possible.
The Mediatrix 1204 ports benefit from all the advanced telephony CLASS features available today. On-Hook reception of Caller-ID information can be processed internally by the DSP engine. Also, the FXO ports permit features such as Selective Ringing and message waiting to be used by the main controlling software.
Default settings for the FXO ports are such that BellCore/North American standards are met. On request, port settings may be modified to comply with other known international standards. Software-configurable port setting for international requirements is available.
The Mediatrix 1204 can handle G3 fax transmissions at speeds up to 14.4 kbps. Automatic fax mode detection is also available on all ports, as well as Real-Time Fax-Over IP with T.38 protocol stack. Data handling and synchronization formerly T.4 and T.30 protocols, are processed by the embedded DSP and CPU.
Quality of T.38 fax transmissions is dependent upon the system configuration, type of call control system used, type of Mediatrix units deployed, as well as the model of fax machines used. Should some of these conditions be unsatisfactory, performance of T.38 fax transmissions may vary and be reduced below expectations.
The Mediatrix 1204 is designed to be desktop stackable. With the appropriate optional mounting kit, the Mediatrix 1204 can be wall-mounted or rack-mounted. The unit is powered by an internal universal power supply connected to the AC main with a standard IEC-320 power cord.
The Mediatrix 1204 supports the SIP signaling protocol as an endpoint entity. It can communicate directly with other endpoints (direct IP call) or register to a SIP call agent should the user request to.
When configured with the SIP protocol, Mediatrix units contact the DiaL IPCS Communication Server to obtain the IP address associated to the corresponding dialed number. If no corresponding IP address is returned, the IP Communication Server will try to locate the nearest gateway to the destination number on the PSTN. Any of the Mediatrix 1204’s four ports can be used to make such a gateway call.
The Mediatrix 1204 can be integrated seamlessly within an existing administrative environment. SNMP support allows device-related adjustment parameters to be modified and polled remotely. Implementation of a web interface provides user-friendly access to common parameters. Firmware upgrade (CPU and DSP code) and configuration files are downloaded via a TFTP or HTTP server. Auto-provisioning of Mediatrix units is performed with added security through configuration file encryption and HTTP digest authentication.
The Mediatrix® 1204 has been designed to support all major industry standards used today as well as those that will eventually be implemented at a later date. Because of this specific design characteristic, the Mediatrix® 1204 can be integrated with existing telephone, fax and LAN/WAN equipment such as bridges, routers and switches.
