FXS blade

If you want to provision the MP1288 and have it compatible with analog devices, you will need to include in your setup the patch-panel 50-pin Centronics Amphenol cable that has 24-ports RJ11 breakouts in the patch-panel connector. Should the product you are looking for not be included, please contact AudioCodes or another supplier:

It is recommended that the MP1288 be set up as follows:

How to configure network settings

Important: The MP1288 web interface should be accessed using a static IP address, as it is the most reliable way to access the interface.

Obtain the IP address of the MP1288

In order to access the device’s web interface, you should use the device’s factory default IP address (192.168.0.2/24) and default gateway (0.0.0.0) to begin with, and then modify it to match the addressing scheme of your network for future use.

1. Connect any Ethernet port on the CPU module (rear panel) to the LAN port on your computer by using a shielded twisted pair (STP) straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable formed from CAT-Se/6 shielded twisted pair (STP).
   
2. It is essential to update your computer’s IP settings in order to match the default IP address and subnet mask of the mobile device.
3. The first thing you need to do is open a web browser (for example, Google Chrome) on your computer.
4. Enter the default IP address of the device in the URL field.
   As soon as the web login screen appears, you will be able to access your account.
5. Click Login when you have entered the default username (Admin) and password (Admin), and then enter the password.
6. Click on the IP Network tab of the Settings menu and then select the Core Entities folder and then select IP Interfaces from the list that appears.
7. The OAMP interface should be selected. You can choose OAMP + Media + Control from the drop-down menu that appears when you select the Application Type. When you click Edit, a dialog box will appear, where you can modify the interface used by the device.
8. Apply the changes by clicking the Apply button. Whenever you try to connect to the device using the default IP address, you are not able to do so. By using the new IP address, the device can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
9. Your computer’s IP settings should be changed to correspond with the new IP addresses and subnet of the OAMP device once you have changed the PC’s IP settings.
10. By using the new IP address of the device, you will be able to access its web interface.
11. Click the Save button on the toolbar of the web interface in order to save the changes.
    It is likely that the device’s flash memory will be used to store the new IP address.
12. It is necessary to re-enable the device so that it can connect to the network that is needed. By using the new IP address, you will be able to access the device’s management interface remotely from a remote location.

Using the device’s command-line interface (CLI), you can find out the IP address of the device, if it is using DHCP to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. It is also possible to access the device using RS-232 by connecting a VT100 terminal to it or by using a terminal emulator program (for example, HyperTerminal) with a computer to access it using RS-232.

1. The RJ-dS connector supplied with the kit should be connected to the COM port on the CPU module (labeled |0|0|), and the RJ-dS connector should be connected to the RS-232 COM port on your computer through the supplied RMS to 08-9 female cable adapter.
   
2. A terminal emulator program such as HyperTerminal can be used to establish a serial connection with the device. In order to communicate with the server, the following settings should be used:
   • 115200 baud rate
   • 8 data bits
   • No parity
   • 1 stop bit
   • No flow control
3. The user name (by default, it is Admin) should be typed at the CLI prompt:

4. Username: Admin

5. If prompted for a password, type the following (Admin is the default password):

   Password: Admin

6. The following command should be typed at the prompt:

   MP-1288 FX5> show system version

7. In the example below, you will be able to see the IP address the device obtained through DHCP, as shown in the output of this command:

   ;Board Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
   ;Board Default Gateway: 10.15.0.1

Obtain the MAC address of the MP1288

In order to obtain the MAC address, you need to access the MP1288’s web interface after you have changed the network settings:

1. To access the MP1288’s web interface, you will need to enter the IP address of the MP1288 in a web browser:
   http://your_IPv4
   Note: Admin and Admin are the default user name and password for the system, respectively.
2. MAC addresses can be obtained by clicking MONITOR then Device Information under the SUMMARY tab.
3. The MP1288 should be added to the Zoom web portal so that it can be accessed by users.
