Recently I purchased about 25 Mediatrix 4108 and 4116 VoIP Analog Gateways on a closeout.
Until the purchase I have never used any of Mediatrix’s products but I figured it will have the standard features.
To my surprise it as lacking almost all features and almost unusable. It didn’t have hunt-groups or any kind of routing.
After doing some research I discovered a firmware called DGW that was supposed to have some additional features but I was unable to find it.
I contacted support and three days later I received a response asking me to fill out an application so I can access their portal.
Once everything was setup on their end I was able to log in and download the DGW firmware.
The process is two steps and required the installation of a transition firmware via TFP to complete the full upgrade.
After the dust settled I had what looked like a totally new product.
The DGW firmware allows for the following plus more:
- Multiple IPs per interface
- Firewall
- All codec settings can be set based upon FXS por
- Routing can configured based upon any part of the SIP header and/or time and date
- CDRs
- Call waiting, call forwarding, music on hold
- All the information in the SIP header can be manipulated (To, From, user, server)
So to say the least I was very surprised this has features many PBXs don’t have.
I am not sure why the DGW firmware is not standard but this turned out to be one solid product.
