LAN Extension Module AUDIOCODES M1KB-VM-SWX for Mediant 1000B is an expansion board designed to add LAN interface capability to the Mediant 1000B gateway. It integrates into the appliance to provide additional physical network ports and extend the device's connectivity for voice and data traffic within enterprise VoIP deployments. The module is intended to complement existing gateway hardware, enabling more direct local network connections and simplified cabling arrangements.

Advantages

The module increases the number of available LAN ports on the Mediant 1000B, allowing more endpoints or network segments to be connected directly to the gateway without requiring external switches. It supports consolidation of telephony and data connections into the same appliance, which can reduce rack space and simplify management. As an OEM expansion module, it is designed for compatibility with the Mediant 1000B form factor and installation procedures, preserving the original system’s operational characteristics.

Suitable for

• Enterprise VoIP gateway installations that require additional LAN ports
• Deployments where reducing external switch count and cabling complexity is desired
• On-site integrations that need local network segments for telephony and data
• Maintenance or upgrade projects for Mediant 1000B appliances

Key specifications

• Function: LAN interface expansion for Mediant 1000B gateway
• Compatibility: Designed for integration with Mediant 1000B appliances
• Purpose: Adds physical LAN ports to extend network connectivity for voice and data
• Form factor: Module intended for internal installation in the gateway chassis

How to use

Install the LAN extension module into the designated expansion slot of a powered-down Mediant 1000B following the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions. After physical installation, power up the gateway and verify that the new LAN ports are recognized by the system management interface. Configure network parameters, VLANs and routing on the appliance as required to integrate the added interfaces into the existing network topology. Test voice and data traffic paths to ensure correct segmentation and quality of service settings.

Usage recommendations

Perform installation and configuration during planned maintenance windows to avoid service disruption. Use the Mediant 1000B administration guides for specific slot handling, grounding and static precautions. Validate firmware compatibility and back up current configurations before adding hardware. Ensure network settings and QoS policies are applied to the new ports to maintain call quality.
