Before you begin configuring the gateway, change its default IP address to correspond with
your network environment (refer to Section 4.2) and learn about the configuration methods
available on the Mediant 1000 (refer to Section 4.1 below).
For information on quickly setting up the Mediant 1000 with basic parameters using a

4.1 Configuration Concepts
You can utilize the Mediant 1000 in a wide variety of applications, enabled by its
parameters and configuration files (e.g., Call Progress Tones (CPT)). The parameters can
be configured and configuration files can be loaded using:
 A standard Web Browser (described and explained in Chapter 5 on page 55).
 A configuration file referred to as the ini file. For information on how to use the ini file,
refer to Chapter 6 on page 209.
 An SNMP browser software (refer to Chapter 15 on page 345).
To upgrade the Mediant 1000 (load new software or configuration files onto the gateway)
use the Software Upgrade wizard, available through the Web Interface (refer to Section
5.8.1 on page 184), or alternatively use the BootP/TFTP configuration utility (refer to
Section 7.3.1 on page 255).
For information on the configuration files, refer to Chapter 6 on page 209.
4.2 Assigning the Mediant 1000 IP Address
To assign an IP address to the Mediant 1000 use one of the following methods:
 HTTP using a Web browser (refer to Section 4.2.1 below).
 BootP (refer to Section 4.2.2 on page 48).
 Voice Menu using a standard touch-tone telephone connected to one of the FXS
