Audiocodes MediaPack Loses Static IP Address

2019-01-29 1 min read Audiocodes Erwin Bierens

By default the Audiocodes MediaPacks, sent out a BootP request during a cold start of the device. If you have a enterprise DHCP server active in the network this will probaly respond (undesired) to this request and will give you a DHCP release from the DHCP pool. This way the MediaPack will receive a new IP address from the DHCP pool everytime it will have a cold start.

The setting ‘BootPSelectiveEnable = 1’ enables the device’s integral BootP client to filter unsolicited BootP/DHCP replies and accepts only BootP replies that contain the text ‘AUDC’ in the vendor specific information field of the request.

After some diging in to this problem i found some people having same issues with other Microsoft products. Last March Microsoft released the CredSSP update and this prevented connecting to vulnerable systems using older authentication methods.

Factory Reset Audiocodes Mediapack 112 by Shell

2018-08-06 1 min read Audiocodes Skype for Business Erwin Bierens

Problem

I came across a problem that it was not possible to change the IP address of the MediaPack 112.

The IP Address, subnet and default gateway are greyed out as you can see in above image.

Solution

Go the the webinterface (System, Management, Telnet/SSH Settings) and enable SSH access.

Use PuTTy to connect to the current IP Address of the MediaPack. Use the default credentials if not changed: Admin - Admin
