NameValues Description
Red Alarm Integer tally of
alarms
counted since
last reset.The alarm condition declared when a
device receives no signal or cannot
synchronize to the signal being received.  A
Red Alarm is generated if the incoming
data stream has no transitions for 176
consecutive pulse positions.
Blue Alarm Tally since last
reset.Alarm signal consisting of all 1’s (including
framing bit positions) which indicates
disconnection or failure of attached equipment.
Loss of
Frame
AlignmentTally since last
reset.Loss of data frame synchronization.
Excessive
ZeroesTally since last
reset.Displayed value will increment if
consecutive zeroes beyond a set threshold
are detected.  I.e., tally increments if more
than 7 consecutive zeroes in the received
data stream are detected under B8ZS line
coding, or if 15 consecutive zeroes are
detected under AMI line coding.
Status
Freeze
Signalling
ActiveSignaling has been frozen at the most
recent values due to loss of frame
alignment, loss of multiframe
alignment or due to a receive slip.
Line
Loopback
Deactivation
SignalLine loopback deactivation signal has
been detected in the receive bit stream.
Transmit
Line ShortA short exists between the transmit pair for
at least 32 consecutive pulses.
Transmit
Data
OverflowFor use by MTS Technical Support
personnel.
Transmit
Slip PositiveThe frequency of the transmit clock is less
than the frequency of the transmit system
interface working clock. A frame is
repeated.

NameValues Description
Bipolar
ViolationInteger tally of
violation count
since last reset.Two successive pulses of the same
polarity have been received and these
pulses are not part of zero substitution.
On an AMI-encoded line, this represents a
line error.  On a B8ZS line, this may
represent the substitution for a string of 8
zeroes.
Receive Slip Tally since last
reset.A receive slip (positive or negative) has
occurred.  Slips indicate a clocking
mismatch (or lack of synchronization)
between T1/E1 devices. When slips occur,
data may be lost or repeated.

MultiVoip Program Menu Items
   After the MultiVoip program is installed on the PC, it can be launched
from the  Programs group of the Windows Start menu ( Start |
Programs | MultiVOIP ____ | … ).  In this section, we describe the
software functions available on this menu.
Several basic software functions are accessible from the MultiVoip
software menu, as shown below.
MultiVOIP Program Menu
Menu Selection Description
Configuration Select this to enter the  Configuration
program where values for IP,
telephony, and other parameters are
set.
Date and Time Setup Select this for access to set
calendar/clock used for data logging.
Download CAS ProtocolTelephony CAS  files are for Channel
Associated Signalling.  There are many
CAS files, some labeled for specific
functionality, others for countries or
regions where certain telephony attributes
are standard.

MultiVOIP Program Menu (cont’d)
Menu Selection Description
Download Factory Defaults Select this to return the configuration
parameters to the original factory
values.
Download Firmware Select this to download new versions
of firmware as enhancements become
available.
Download User Defaults To be used after a full set of parameter
values, values specified by the user,
have  been saved (using Save Setup).
This command loads the saved user
defaults into the MultiVOIP.
Set Password Select this to create a password for
access to the MultiVOIP software
programs (Program group commands,
Windows GUI, web browser GUI, &
FTP server).  Only the FTP Server
function requires a password for access.
The FTP Server function also requires
that a UserName be established along
with the password.
Uninstall Select this to uninstall the MultiVOIP
software (most, but not all components
are removed from computer when this
command is invoked).
Upgrade Software Loads firmware (including H.323
stack) and factory default settings from
the controller PC to the MultiVOIP
unit.
“Downloading” here refers to transferring program files from the PC to
the nonvolatile “flash” memory of the MultiVOIP.  Such transfers are
made via the PC’s serial port.  This can be understood as a “download”
from the perspective of the MultiVOIP unit.
When new versions of the MultiVoip software become available, they
will be posted on MultiTech’s web or FTP sites.  Although transferring
updated program files from the MultiTech web/FTP site to the user’s
PC can generally be considered a download (from the perspective of
the PC), this type of download cannot be initiated from the MultiVoip
software’s Program menu command set. 
						

							MultiVOIP User Guide Operation and Maintenance

Generally, updated firmware must be downloaded from the MultiTech
web/FTP site to the PC before it can be loaded from the PC to the
MultiVOIP.
Date and Time Setup
The dialog box below allows you to set the time and date indicators of
the MultiVOIP system.
Obtaining Updated Firmware
Generally, updated firmware must be  downloaded from the MultiTech
web/FTP site to the  user’s PC before it can be downloaded from that
PC to the MultiVOIP.
Note that the structure of the MultiTech web/FTP site may change
without notice.  However, firmware updates can generally be found
using standard web techniques.  For example, you can access updated
firmware by doing a search or by clicking on Support.

If you conduct a search, for example, on the word “MultiVoip,” you
will be directed to a list of firmware that can be downloaded.
If you choose Support, you can select “MultiVoip” in the Product
Support menu and then click on Firmware to find MultiVOIP
resources.
