grouping of parameters) is being saved, you will be prompted about
designating that setup as a “User Default” setup.  A User Default
setup may be useful as a baseline of site-specific values to which you
can easily revert.  Establishing a User Default Setup is optional.

Configuring the MVP2400/2410
MultiVOIP Phonebooks
When a VoIP serves a PBX system, it’s important that the operation of
the VoIP be transparent to the telephone end user.  That is, the VoIP
should not entail the dialing of extra digits to reach users elsewhere on
the network that the VoIP serves.  On the contrary, VOIP service more
commonly reduces dialed digits by allowing users (served by PBXs in
facilities in distant cities) to dial their co-workers with 3-, 4-, or 5-digit
extensions as if they were in the same facility.
Furthermore, the setup of the VoIP generally should allow users to
make calls on a non-toll basis to any numbers accessible without toll  by
users at all other locations on the VoIP system.  Consider, for example,
a company with VOIP-equipped offices in New York, Miami, and Los
Angeles, each served by its own PBX.  When the VOIP phone books are
set correctly, personnel in the Miami office should be able to make calls
without toll not only to the company’s offices in New York and Los
Angeles, but also to any number that’s local in those two cities.
To achieve transparency of the VoIP telephony system and to give full
access to all types of non-toll calls made possible by the VOIP system,
the VoIP administrator must properly configure the “Outbound” and
“Inbound” phone-books of each VoIP in the system.
The “Outbound” phonebook for a particular VoIP unit describes the
dialing sequences required for a call to originate locally (typically in a
PBX in a particular facility) and reach any of its possible destinations at
remote VoIP sites, including non-toll calls completed in the PSTN at the
remote site.
The “Inbound” phonebook for a particular VoIP unit describes the
dialing sequences required for a call to originate remotely from any
other VOIP sites in the system, and to terminate on that particular
VOIP.
Briefly stated, the MultiVOIP’s Outbound phonebook lists the phone stations
it can call; its Inbound phonebook describes the dialing sequences that can be
used to call that MultiVOIP and how those calls will be directed. (Of course,
the phone numbers are not literally “listed” individually, but are,
instead, described by rule.)
Consider two types of calls in the three-city system described above:
(1) calls originating from the Miami office and terminating in the New
York (Manhattan) office, and (2) calls originating from the Miami office

and terminating in New York City but off the company’s premises in an
adjacent area code, an area code different than the company’s office but
still a local call from that office (e.g., Staten Island).
The first type of call requires an entry in the Outbound PhoneBook of
the Miami VOIP and a coordinated entry in the Inbound phonebook of
the New York VOIP.  These entries would allow the Miami caller to dial
the New York office as if its phones were extensions on the Miami PBX.
The second type of call similarly requires an entry in the Outbound
PhoneBook of the Miami VOIP and a coordinated entry in the Inbound
Phonebook of the New York VOIP.  However, these entries will be
longer and more complicated.  Any Miami call to New York City local
numbers will be sent through the VOIP system rather than through the
regular toll public phone system (PSTN).  But the phonebook entries
can be arranged so that the VOIP system is transparent to the Miami
user, such that even though that Miami user dials the New York City
local number just as they would through the public phone system, that
call will still be completed through the VOIP system.
This PhoneBook Configuration procedure is brief, but it is followed by
an example case.  For many people, the example case may be easier to
grasp than the procedure steps.  Configuration is not difficult, but all
phone number sequences and other information must be entered
exactly; otherwise connections will not be made.

In consultation with your VOIP administrator, enter the Gateway
Name and values for Q.931 parameters and Gatekeeper RAS
parameters. Determine whether your voip system will operate with a
proxy server.  Determine which H.323 version 4 functions you will
implement. (They are not always applicable.  See field description for
each parameter.)
