Objective

Provisioning an AudioCodes ATA adapter or recovering it after a factory reset.

Applies To

  • AudioCodes MP112 ATA adapter
  • AudioCodes MP114 ATA adapter
  • AudioCodes MP118 ATA adapter
  • AudioCodes MP124 ATA adapter

Procedure

AudioCodes purchased through 8x8 are only intended for FXS mode only. If you are using this adapter for doorbells, overhead paging systems, and other non-standard ATA devices, check with the manufacturer for FXS support. FXO designed devices will not work.
Check the label of your AudioCodes ATA adapter to confirm if it has any FXO support.
Important note on AudioCode ring voltage
All MP series AudioCode ring voltages use: Ring Voltage. Sine: 54 VRMS typical (balanced ringing only). If the device connecting to the AudioCodes is not compatible with that 54 VRMS (77 volts peak), needing a higher voltage range, consult the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of that device for a Ring Voltage Booster recommendation. 8x8 does not have any recommendation for any specific ring voltage booster.
11/9/2022 MAC password enabled
MAC password function has been enabled on All AudioCodes models. When an AudioCodes adapter provisions to 8x8 service, it will update the login password to use the MAC password.

Device Certificates

AudioCodes will not activate with 8x8 service without a factory-installed certificate. Certificates come with the device and cannot be manually added.
You can check for the certificate on the bottom device label under CPN. If you have remote access into the device, you can check the certificate status on the System Information page.
The MP124 does not require CER at the end of its CPN number to have a factory installed certificate. MP124s with the CPN MP124/24S/AC/SIP are acceptable. If unsure, check the system information page from the GUI of the device.
No Factory-Installed Device Certificate

Restoring to Factory Default Using the Reset Button

  1. Boot device up completely with the ethernet cable plugged in.
  2. wait for fail light to turn off (MP124 LAN light doubles as fail light).
  3. unplug the ethernet cable.
  4. Hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
  5. Let go of button.
  6. Wait 2 minutes for fail light to go out.
  7. Then wait for ready light to go green.
  8. Plug in the ethernet cable again.
After successfully resetting an AudioCodes device, DHCP is disabled and the local ip should default to 10.1.10.10. Follow the next steps below to enable DHCP and gain access to the GUI.
Sometimes the AudioCodes device will reset properly but DHCP will still be enabled. This is okay and you can still proceed with uploading the INI file.
When trying to obtain the local IP address of an AudioCodes ATA adapter, there are three methods that can be used listed below.

Using the Voice Menu (IVR) to Obtain the IP Address

Obtaining the current IP address through the IVR menu
  1. Using an analog phone, connect to port 1.
  2. Dial ***12345 to access IVR.
  3. Dial 1 # to get the IP address.
Enabling DHCP through the IVR menu
  1. Using an analog phone, connect to port 1.
  2. Dial ***12345 to access the IVR.
  3. Input 7 # to enter DHCP Menu.
  4. Input # to change.
  5. Input 1 # to enable.
  6. Input 1 to save.
  7. Reconnect the LAN cable.
  8. Dial ***12345 to access IVR.
  9. Dial 1 # to get the IP address.

Workaround When Voice Menu (IVR) Does Not Work

  1. Factory Reset the device.
    1. Remove the LAN Cable.
    2. Hold the reset button for 8 seconds (if this does not work, try for 10 seconds).
    3. Wait for the Ready Status to be Green.
    4. Re-plug the LAN cable.
  2. Plug the ethernet cable into the device and your laptop.
  3. Make your IP address of LAN static to 10.1.10.20.
  4. Access the ATA device on 10.1.10.10.
  5. Load the bootstrap ini file with the steps stated above.
  6. Unplug the ethernet cable from the laptop and connect it to POE.
  7. Wait for the device to reboot. Note: Never reboot a device if some of the lights are RED!
  8. If needed, manually reboot the device.
Note that the voice menu is not available on the AudioCodes MP124 and MP124E.
If the IP address assigned to the device is not suitable for your network environment, or the device's IP address is unknown (forgotten). The best suggestion would be to check the router's ARP table or employ a packet capture.
For more information, see AudioCode's CPE Troubleshooting Guide.
