how to install AudioCodes Mediant 800B VoIP Gateway

• Unpack and inspect the Mediant 800B to ensure all ports and connectors are available. Verify that you have access to analog devices (for FXS) and PSTN lines or trunks (for FXO), along with a network drop to connect the gateway.
• Connect the network: plug a standard Ethernet cable into the Gigabit Ethernet port and connect it to your local area network or dedicated voice VLAN. Ensure your switch or router is configured to support QoS for voice traffic to maintain call quality.
• Wire the analog side: attach your analog telephones, fax machines, or other FXS devices to the 4 FXS ports. Connect your PSTN lines or trunks to the 4 FXO ports for legacy connectivity, if required by your deployment scenario.
• Power up and access the management interface: connect a computer to the gateway’s management network and use the provided IP address or device discovery method to access the web-based configuration or CLI. Prepare to configure SIP trunks, dial plans, codecs, and routing rules according to your UC platform or PBX.
• Configure and test: create trunk profiles, define inbound and outbound routing for both analog and SIP paths, and apply security settings as needed. Perform a test call in both directions to verify voice quality, fax compatibility (if used), and failover behavior. Validate monitoring dashboards to confirm that system health, call statistics, and event logs meet your operational requirements.
