Product Information
Full details
The AudioCodes Mediant 1000B LAN Extension Module (M1KB-SWX) is designed for IT administrators and network engineers managing enterprise VoIP and unified communications systems within the AudioCodes Mediant 1000B ecosystem. This hardware expansion offers a reliable way to scale connectivity, delivering additional gigabit Ethernet capacity to maintain high-quality voice traffic across a growing network. While it provides robust performance, users must note that it is physically and architecturally exclusive to the Mediant 1000B gateway chassis, meaning it cannot be utilized in other networking hardware.

FAQs
Can I use this module in a Mediant 2000 chassis?
No, this module is engineered exclusively for the Mediant 1000B chassis.
How many ports does this module add?
The module adds 4 GE ports, configured as 2 Active/Standby pairs.
Do I need to configure the ports after installation?
Yes, once detected, you must log into the AudioCodes management software to assign IP addresses and define port redundancy roles.
Is this module hot-swappable?
No, you should power down the Mediant 1000B chassis before installing or removing the module.
What is the primary benefit of the Active/Standby pairs?
They provide network redundancy, ensuring that if one interface fails, traffic automatically reroutes to the standby port.
Does this module support fiber connections?
The M1KB-SWX is designed for RJ-45 copper Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Troubleshooting
Module not detected by the gateway
Ensure the module is fully seated in the slot and verify the system firmware supports the hardware expansion.
Intermittent packet loss on interfaces
Check the Active/Standby configuration in the management software and ensure Ethernet cables are high-quality Cat6 or better.
Voice quality degradation after install
Verify that traffic QoS policies are correctly mapped to the new ports provided by the module.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increases port density for growing VoIP networks
- Provides high-reliability Active/Standby interface pairs
- Tailored specifically for the AudioCodes Mediant 1000B architecture
- Cost-effective scaling for small to medium-sized enterprises
Cons
- Compatible exclusively with the Mediant 1000B chassis
- Requires manual chassis installation, necessitating temporary system downtime
- Limited to specific Mediant 1000B hardware variants
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the M1KB-SWX, power down the Mediant 1000B chassis completely. Slide the module into the designated expansion slot until it is firmly seated and secure the locking mechanism. Once the gateway is powered back on, the module should be auto-detected by the management interface. Compatibility is restricted strictly to the Mediant 1000B series; attempting to force this module into other hardware will result in physical damage or system errors. For maintenance, keep the chassis in a climate-controlled environment to prevent dust accumulation on the GE interfaces. Ensure that all firmware on the Mediant 1000B is updated to the latest version to fully recognize the additional ports after physical installation.
