Introduction
Welcome to Multi-Techs new standalone Voice/IP Gateways which allow analog voice and fax
communication over an IP network.  Multi-Tech’s new voice/fax over IP gateway technology allows
voice and fax communication to ride, with no additional expense, over your existing IP network, which
has traditionally been data-only. To access this free voice and fax communication, all you have to do
is connect your MultiVOIP to your telephone equipment, and then to your existing Ethernet LAN.
Once configured, the MultiVOIP then allows voice and fax to travel down the same path as your
traditional data communications.
The MVP400 is designed with four voice/fax channels (which offer three voice/fax interfaces per
channel), a 10M bps Ethernet LAN interface, and a command port for configuration.  The MVP800 is
designed with eight voice/fax channels, 10M bps Ethernet LAN interface, and command port.
System management is provided through the command port using bundled Windows® software
which provides easy-to-use configuration menus and a comprehensive on-line help system.

Preview of this Guide
This guide describes the MultiVOIP and tells you how to install and configure the unit. The
information contained in each chapter is as follows:
Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description
Chapter 1 describes the MultiVOIP. Front panel indicator, and back panel connector descriptions are
provided. In addition, a list of relevant specifications is provided at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 2 - Installation
Chapter 2 provides information on unpacking and cabling your MultiVOIP. The installation procedure
describes each cable connection.
Chapter 3 - Software Loading and Configuration
Chapter 3 provides instructions for software loading and initial configuration. The MultiVOIP software
diskettes are Windows® based. Later chapters, as well as your on-line help program will describe the
MultiVOIP software in more detail.
Chapter 4 - MultiVOIP Software
Chapter 4 describes the MultiVOIP software package designed for the Windows ® environment. This
chapter describes the software from an applications standpoint, and in so doing, not every screen is
shown, nor is each field within a screen defined. For explanations and parameters of each field within
a dialog box please refer to the on-line help system provided within the software. 
						

							7 Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description
Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration and Management
Chapter 5 provides procedures for changing the configuration of a remote MultiVOIP. Remote
configuration allows you to change the configuration of a unit by simply connecting two modems
between the two MultiVOIPs and remotely controlling the unit. Chapter 5 also describes typical client
applications (i.e., Telnet and Web-based management) used for remote configuration of the
MultiVOIP.
Chapter 6 - Warranty, Service and Tech Support
Chapter 6 provides instructions on getting service for your MultiVOIP at the factory, a statement of
the limited warranty, information about our Internet presence and user bulletin board service, and
space for recording information about your MultiVOIP prior to calling Multi-Tech’s Technical Support.

MultiVOIP Application
A typical Voice Over IP (VOIP) network is shown in Figure 1-2 with a headquarters site and three
remote sites (Sales office, regional and marketing offices).  This typical Voice Over IP network can be
set up via the Internet or your Intranet.  The headquarters site is set up with a 4-channel MultiVOIP
(MVP 400) connected to the headquarters LAN and four voice/fax channels connected to the in-
house telephone switch (PBX).  Typically, the MultiVOIP at the headquarters site would be set up as
the master unit.  The master unit controls the phone directory data base which is sent to each site on
a periodic basis or if a new telephone number is added.

Figure 1-2.  Example of a MultiVOIP application
The sales office is set up with a two voice/fax channel MultiVOIP series connected to the IP network
and one voice/fax channel connected directly to the local Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN).
The second voice/fax channel is connected to the trunk side of a Key Telephone System (KTS).  This
allows an attendent to direct an incoming call to one of the two telephone extensions or to the fax
machine.
The regional office is set up with two analog telephones connected directly to a two voice/fax channel
MultiVOIP.  This allows a person in the corporate office to dial out thru the MultiVOIP 400 at the
corporate office and call directly into the person at extension 301.
The MultiVOIP at the marketing office is set up on the trunk side of the PBX (E&M interface) so that
you could dial into the marketing office, seize a trunk, then dial an outside line to make a local call or
connect directly to a telephone extension on the PBX or in this case to the fax machine at extension
6129.
A phone directory database is maintained on one of the MultiVOIPs which is configured as a
“master”.  This phone directory is retrieved by the remaining “slave” MultiVOIPs on your Voice Over
IP network.
Each phone number entry corresponds to a MultiVOIP IP address and associated voice/fax channel
number.  With this system, you need only update the “master” phone directory when deploying
additional MultiVOIPs to your Voice Over IP network.

From the phone directory data base you can build your VOIP dialing directory.  For example, if a
person in our typical VOIP network at the headquarters picked up a telephone (for example extension
4123) and wanted to talk to some one at the Sales office, they would dial one of the four
headquarters extension numbers (4, 5, 6, or 7). It doesn’t make any difference which extension you
choose, because they all get you to the headquarters multiVOIP.  A second dial tone is heard, then
you would dial 201 to access channel 1 of the Sales MultiVOIP.  This would ring the Key Telephone
System (KTS) at the Sales office.  An attendent at the Sales office would then direct your call. 
						

							10 MultiVOIP User Guide
Using the same example as above, but calling the Regional office.  A person at headquarters would
pick up a telephone and dial say trunk extension 5.  This connects channel 2 of the headquarters
MultiVOIP.  A second dial tone is heard, then you would dial say 301.  The telephone connected to
channel 1 of the Regional office MultiVOIP rings and your voice conservation takes place.
