From the Clock Reference
Configuration
table, select from the Suggestion list, several
clock reference sources.
Click Apply.
Result
The selected Clock Reference sources for each available telephony card, according to the unit type, are displayed
in the Value field of the
Clock Reference Configuration table. The first selected source
will be used as a the clock reference. The following one will be used as the fallback

Configuring the SNTP Server to a Static IP Address
Before you begin
Make sure there is an SNTP server available.
Steps
Go to Network/Host.
In the SNTP Configuration table,
from the Configuration Source
selection list, select Static.
Provide an IP address or domain name and port numbers for each SNTP server you
are using.
Note: The best practice is to use the servers supplied by your Internet
Service Provider, then complement with servers from a different network
close to your geographical area. For example: time.nist.gov (USA), ntp4.sptime.se (Sweden), time1.isu.net.sa (Saudi Arabia), ntp.nict.jp (Japan), time.google.com (Worldwide),
pool.ntp.org or one of their regional server pools (see
https://www.ntppool.org/ for more information).
If necessary, change the value of the Synchronisation Period.
If necessary, change the value of the Synchronisation Period on Error.
Click Apply.
Result
The SNTP host name and port will be displayed in the Host Status table under Network/Status.
Although it is possible to use public DNS servers you should always ask your
internet service provider to provide at least the primary and secondary DNS
servers.
Steps
Go to Network/Host.
In the DNS Configuration table, form the Configuration Source
selection list, select Static.
For each DNS used, enter the IP address of the DNS.
When configuring
network interfaces, Media5 recommends to have a syslog client properly configured and
enabled in order to receive any message related to the network interfaces behaviour. The
interface used to access the syslog client must also be properly enabled.
Steps
Go to Network/Interfaces.
IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when configuring network interfaces,
especially when configuring the network interface used to contact the unit
for management. Be careful never to disable or delete the network interface
used to contact the unit. Also be careful to always set the unit’s
management interface to be an interface that you can contact.
In the Network Interface Configuration table, complete the fields as required.
From the Activation
drop-down list, select Enable.
Note: If two or more endpoints have the same user name, a single registration
request and/or subscription request will be performed under that user
name.
For each endpoint requiring registration, repeat the following 2 steps.
From the Register
selection list, select Enable.
From the Gateway Name
selection list, select All for each endpoint.
Click Edit All Entries
located at the bottom of the page.
In the Authentication
table, from the Criteria selection list, select Endpoint for all endpoints
needing registration.
From the Endpoint
selection list, select the related FXS port for each entry.
From the Realm field,
enter the provided realm and from the Validate Realm selection
list, select Enable.
If no Realm was
provided, leave the field empty and from the Validate Realm selection
list, select Disable.
In the User Name
field, enter the SIP user name for each entry.
In the Password
field, enter the appropriate password for each entry.
In the DTMF Transport
table, set the Transport Method to the one
set in the VoIP server.
In-band
Out-of-Band using RTP
(RFC2833). This is usually the preferred method. Remember to set the
payload type if different (e.g.: 96, 101 or 110 in some cases).
Out-of-Band using SIP.
For Cisco or Avaya systems, from the SIP Transport Method
field, use Info DTMF Relay. For
legacy Nortel and others, leave Draft Choudhuri SIP Info Digit
00.
Signaling Protocol Dependent: choose this method if unsure. It will try to use the method
negotiated by the VoIP server.

Several types of documents were created to clearly present the information you are looking for.
Our documentation includes:
Release notes: Generated at each GA release, this document includes the known and
solved issues of the software. It also outlines the changes and the new features the release
includes.
Configuration notes: These documents are created to facilitate the configuration of a
specific use case. They address a configuration aspect we consider that most users will need to
perform. However, in some cases, a configuration note is created after receiving a question
from a customer. They provide standard step-by-step procedures detailing the values of the
parameters to use. They provide a means of validation and present some conceptual information.
The configuration notes are specifically created to guide the user through an aspect of the
configuration.
Technical bulletins: These documents are created to facilitate the configuration of a
specific technical action, such as performing a firmware upgrade.
Hardware installation guide: They provide the detailed procedure on how to safely and
adequately install the unit. It provides information on card installation, cable connections,
and how to access for the first time the Management interface.
User guide: The user guide explains how to customise to your needs the configuration
of the unit. Although this document is task oriented, it provides conceptual information to
help the user understand the purpose and impact of each task. The User Guide will provide
information such as where and how TR-069 can be configured in the Management Interface, how to
set firewalls, or how to use the CLI to configure parameters that are not available in the
Management Interface.
Reference guide: This exhaustive document has been created for advanced users. It
includes a description of all the parameters used by all the services of the Mediatrix units.
You will find, for example, scripts to configure a specific parameter, notification messages
sent by a service, or an action description used to create Rulesets. This document includes
reference information such as a dictionary, and it does not include any step-by-step
procedures.
