The Siemens AP1120, manufactured by Mediatrix, is assigned a default IP address of 192.168.0.1.

To configure the AP1120, it is necessary to use the Mediatrix software package Unit Manager Network, or UMN. UMN must be installed on a Windows-based client PC. In this example, the client PC has a normal IP Address of 120.75.25.121, as shown below.

To connect to the AP1120, the client PCs IP Address must be changed to 192.168.0.10, with 255.255.255.0 subnet mask (as pictured below).

There should be a CD provided in the box with each newly-purchased Siemens AP1120. This CD contains documentation and configuration tools, including UMN. Note: This software is also available from the manufacturer, Media5Corp. Use your browser to connect to the URL: www.media5corp.com. When the CD is placed into the CD tray, it should auto play, and boot to the AP1120 Menu shown below. To install UMN from CD, click Configuration Tools.

After clicking Configuration Tools, another window opens with three tool options. Click Unit Manager Network, as shown below.

InstallShield will launch automatically. Click Next, and accept the default selections throughout the installation process.

After UMN is installed, the username and password must be set. From the client PC Windows Desktop, click Start > Programs > Unit Manager Network > Configuration > Unit Manager Configuration, as shown below.

In the Unit Manager Configuration window, create a username and password. In the sample window below, the username admin is used, with a password of 123456.

After the username and password are set, the UMN service must be restarted. In the Restart Service window, click YES to restart the UMN service, as shown below.

At this time, a crossover LAN cable should be installed between the client PCs NIC (with the IP address of 192.168.0.10) and the RJ45 receptacle labeled Network on the rear of the AP1120. Or, instead of a crossover cable, use a hub/switch with straight-thru cables to the client PC and the AP1120.

At this point, the AP1120 should be Factory reset, so that any previously-used settings are reset to their factory-set values. On the rear of the AP1120, there is a small hole labeled Default Settings, located beside the 12VDC power connection. With the power disconnected, insert a straightened paperclip into this tiny hole. While depressing the paperclip, apply power to the AP1120, and watch the 4 indicator lights on the front of the unit. After approximately 10 seconds, all 4 lights will begin to flash. At that time, immediately release the paperclip.

The AP1120 will now reset its parameters to their factory settings, and the unit will automatically restart.

The AP1120 will be ready for further configuration when the Power, LAN, and Ready lights are ON.

10

The UMN application will be used to further configure the AP1120. On the client PCs Windows-based Desktop, click Start > Programs > Unit Network Manager > Unit Manager Network, as shown below.

11

A Login window will appear. Enter the username and password created previously.

12

The Unit Manager Client window will launch. It should be vacant the first time it is opened, as shown below.

13

The Unit Manager Client must now auto detect the presence of the connected AP1120. Click the auto detect icon near the top left corner of the Unit Manager Client window, as shown below.

14

The Unit Detection window will open. Since we know that the IP Address of the factoryreset AP1120 unit is 192.168.0.1, the From and To fields may both be set to 192.168.0.1, as shown below.

15

Click Start, and the connected AP1120 should immediately be found, as shown below.

16

After the AP1120 unit is found, ensure that the checkbox is checked (as shown below), then click OK.

17

The Unit Detection window closes, and the MAC Address of the connected AP1120 unit should now be visible in the top left pane, as shown below.

18

Also, an Overview of the connected AP1120 units settings should appear in the right pane, as shown below.

19

In the Overview section, examine the parameter SNMP sysDescription. If the value of this parameter is AP1120 CorNet-IP., this unit has HiPath 4000 HFA software installed.

The other possibilities here are AP1120 SiP (HiPath 4000 SiP Subscriber software), and Mediatrix (software provided by Mediatrix not to be used on the HiPath 4000).

If the type of software is NOT CORRECT, or if the version/release of the software needs to be upgraded, new software must be downloaded from the client PC to the AP1120 via a TFTP server.

20

In the top left pane, where the MAC Address of the connected AP1120 is visible, highlight the MAC Address, then click the + to expand the tree. The selections Administration, CorNetIP or Sip, and Port should be visible, as shown below.

21

Highlight Administration, right click, and select Edit, as shown below.

22

The AP1120 is capable of using DHCP or Static IP addresses. This example will focus on the use of Static IP addresses. Uncheck all of the Use DHCP checkboxes, as shown below. There are 5 such boxes in this example.

23

Enter the new IP address of the AP1120 into the Local IP Address field. Also enter its Subnet Mask and Default Router.

24

Enter the IP Address of the client PC where the UMN software is installed, and click the Enable checkbox, as shown below.

25

To synchronize the clock of this AP1120 with an external clock source, enter the IP Address of the SNTP Server, and click the Enable checkbox, as shown below. Click OK when done. A confirmation window should appear. Close it.

26

To activate the new IP Address, the AP1120 must be restarted. To restart, highlight the MAC Address of the AP1120 in the top left pane, then right click. Select Action, then select Restart (Abrupt), as shown below. Another confirmation window may open. Click OK to confirm the restart.

27

Another confirmation window may open. Click OK to confirm the restart.

28

Now remove the crossover cable between the client PC and the AP1120. Connect the client PC to its normal LAN connection, and reconfigure the IP Address of the client PC back to its normal IP Address. In this example, the client PC was previously assigned 120.75.25.121/24. Close the UMN software.

29

Now that the client PC and the AP1120 are connected to their permanent static IP Addresses, the UMN software must again find the AP1120 using the UMN auto detect feature. On the client PC, launch Unit Network Manager, and login. Click the auto detect icon, and enter the new IP Address of the AP1120 in the From and To fields, as shown below.

30

Click Start. The AP1120 should be found immediately, as shown below.

31

Ensure that the checkbox is checked, as shown below, then click OK.

32

The Unit Detection window closes, and the MAC Address of the AP1120 should be visible in the top left pane of the Unit Manager Client, as shown below.

33

The Overview again appears in the right pane. This info was obtained via SNMP during the auto detection.

34

To begin the configuration of the AP1120, highlight the MAC Address in the top-left pane, then double-click to expand the tree. If working with multiple AP1120 units, there may be multiple MAC addresses listed. Be sure to use the correct MAC address!

For HFA, also known as Cornet-IP, highlight CorNet-IP, then right-click and select Edit, as shown below.

35

In the CorNet-IP PBX field for Port #1, enter the IP Address of the STMI/HFA (or SiP) board supporting the first station on the AP1120. In the Port #2 field, enter the IP Address of the STMI/HFA (or SiP) board supporting the second station on the AP1120.

Note: these IP Addresses can be different, as it is not required that both AP1120 stations reside on the same STMI board.

36

In the Registration and Initialization field for Port #1, enter the station number of the first station on the AP1120. In the Port #2 field, enter the station number of the second station on the AP1120.

37

In the Security field for Port #1, enter the IP Password of the first station on the AP1120. In the Port #2 field, enter the IP Password of the second station on the AP1120. When done, click OK. Note: the IP Password is configured for each station in AMO SBCSU. The parameter is named IPPASSW. The IP Passwords MUST match, or the AP1120 will fail.

38

When working with SiP-based AP1120 units, the Cornet-IP selection is replaced with Sip. Click Sip, then right-click and select Edit. Enter the Registrar and Proxy IP addresses, which are typically the same. On a HiPath 4000, this address is the IP address of the SiP Subscriber HG35xx board. With OpenScape Voice, this address is the IP address of the SiP Signaling Manager. Enter up to two subscriber numbers, and click OK. No subscriber password is required.

39

Next, the Port information must be configured. For both HFA and SiP-based AP1120 units, select the correct MAC Address of the AP1120, highlight Port, then right-click and select Edit, as shown below.

40

The Preferred Codec needs to be set to G711 U-law in the USA. The default setting is G711 A-law.

41

To change the codec setting, click inside the Preferred Codec field until the drop-down arrow appears, as shown below. Note: This typically requires two clicks inside the field.

42

In the drop-down list, select G711 U-law. Perform the same actions for Port #1 and Port #2. When done, click OK.

43

A reboot is required to implement all the configuration changes. Highlight the MAC Address of the AP1120, then right-click. Highlight Action, then select Restart (Abrupt), as shown below.

44

Click OK to confirm the restart.

45

After the restart, plug two analog telephones into the two RJ11 receptacles on the rear of the AP1120. These ports are labeled #1 Phone/Fax and #2 Phone/Fax. The unit should now be operational.
