When setup of the MultiVOIP software is complete, you will be prompted to run the MultiVOIP software to configure the VOIP. Software installation is complete at this point. You may proceed with Technical Configuration now or not, at your convenience. Technical Configuration instructions are in the next two chapters of this manual: Chapter 5 for T1/E1 MultiVOIP units and Chapter 6 for Analog MultiVOIP units.

86 Chapter 5: Technical Configuration for Digital T1/E1 MultiVOIPs (MVP2400, MVP2410, MVP3010)
MultiVOIP User Guide Technical Configuration (Digital Voips) 87 Configuring the Digital T1/E1 MultiVOIP There are two ways in which the MultiVOIP must be configured before operation: technical configuration and phonebook configuration. Technical Configuration. First, the MultiVOIP must be configured to operate with technical parameter settings that will match the equipment with which it interfaces. There are seven types of technical parameters that must be set. These technical parameters pertain to (1) its operation in an IP network, (2) its operation with T1/E1 telephony equipment, (3) its transmission of voice and fax messages, (4) its interaction with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) network management software (MultiVoipManager), (5) certain telephony attributes that are common to particular nations or regions, (6) its operation with a mail server on the same IP network (per SMTP parameters) such that log reports about VoIP telephone call traffic can be sent to the administrator by email, (7) implementing some common premium telephony features (Call Transfer, Call Hold, Call Waiting, Call ID – “Supplementary Services”), and (8) selecting the method by which log reports will be made accessible. The process of specifying values for the various parameters in these seven categories is what we call “technical configuration” and it is described in this chapter. Phonebook Configuration. The second type of configuration required for the MultiVOIP pertains to the phone number dialing sequences that it will receive and transmit when handling calls. Dialing patterns will be affected by both the PBX/telephony equipment and the other VOIP devices that the MultiVOIP unit interacts with. We call this “Phonebook Configuration,” and it is described in Chapter 7: T1 Phonebook Configuration and Chapter 8: E1 Phonebook Configuration of this manual. Chapter 2, the Quick Start Instructions, presents additional examples relevant to the T1/E1 voips. Local/Remote Configuration. The MultiVOIP must be configured locally at first (to establish an IP address for the MultiVOIP unit). But changes to this initial configuration can be done either locally or remotely. Local configuration is done through a connection between the “Command” port of the MultiVOIP and the COM port of the computer; the MultiVOIP configuration program is used.
MultiVOIP User Guide Technical Configuration (Digital Voips) 88 Remote configuration is done through a connection between the MultiVOIP’s Ethernet (network) port and a computer connected to the same network. The computer could be miles or continents away from the MultiVOIP itself. There are two ways of doing remote configuration and operation of the MultiVOIP unit: (1) using the MultiVoipManager SNMP program, or (2) using the MultiVOIP web browser interface program. MultiVoipManager. MultiVoipManager is an SNMP agent program (Simple Network Management Protocol) that extends the capabilities of the MultiVOIP configuration program: MultiVoipManager allows the user to manage any number of VOIPs on a network, whereas the MultiVOIP configuration program can manage only the VOIP to which it is directly/locally connected. The MultiVoipManager can configure multiple VOIPs simultaneously, whereas the MultiVOIP configuration program can configure only one at a time. MultiVoipManager may (but does not need to) reside on the same PC as the MultiVOIP configuration program. The MultiVoipManager program is on the MultiVOIP Product CD. Updates, when applicable, may be posted at on the MultiTech FTP site. To download, go to ftp://ftp.multitech.com/MultiVoip/. Web Browser Interface. The MultiVOIP web browser GUI gives access to the same commands and configuration parameters as are available in the MultiVOIP Windows GUI except for logging functions. When using the web browser GUI, logging can be done by email (the SMTP option). Functional Equivalence. The MultiVOIP configuration program is required to do the initial configuration (that is, setting an IP address for the MultiVOIP unit) so that the VOIP unit can communicate with the MultiVoipManager program or with the web browser GUI. Management of the VOIP after that point can be done from any of these three programs since they all offer essentially the same functionality. Functionally, either the MultiVoipManager program or the web browser GUI can replace the MultiVOIP configuration program after the initial configuration is complete (with minor exceptions, as noted). WARNING: Do not attempt to interface the MultiVOIP unit with two control programs simultaneously (that is, by accessing the MultiVOIP configuration program via the Command Port and either the MultiVoipManager program or the web browser interface via the Ethernet Port). The results of using two programs to control a single VOIP simultaneously would be unpredictable.
MultiVOIP User Guide Technical Configuration (Digital) 89 Local Configuration This manual describes local configuration only. For information on remote configuration and management, see the MultiVoipManager documentation. Pre-Requisites To complete the configuration of the MultiVOIP unit, you must know several things about the overall system. Before configuring your MultiVOIP Gateway unit, you must know the values for several IP and T1/E1 parameters that describe the IP network system and telephony system (PBX or telco central office equipment) with which the digital MultiVOIP will interact. If you plan to receive log reports on phone traffic by email (SMTP), you must arrange to have an email address assigned to the VOIP unit on the email server on your IP network. IP Parameters The following parameters must be known about the network (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.) to which the MultiVOIP will connect: ➼ Ask your computer network administrator.Info needed to operate: all MultiVOIP models. IP Network Parameters: Record for each VOIP Site in System • IP Address • IP Mask • Gateway • Domain Name Server (DNS) Info (not implemented; for future use) Write down the values for these IP parameters. You will need to enter these values in the “IP Parameters” screen in the Configuration section of the MultiVOIP software. You must have this IP information about every VOIP in the system.
MultiVOIP User Guide Technical Configuration (Digital Voips) 90 T1 Telephony Parameters (for MVP2400 & MVP2410) The following parameters must be known about the PBX or telco central office equipment to which the T1 MultiVOIP will connect: ➼ T1 Phone Parameters Ask phone company or PBX maintainer. Info needed to operate: MVP2400 MVP2410 T1 Telephony Parameters: Record for this VOIP Site • Which frame format is used? ESF___ or D4___ • Which CAS or PRI protocol is used? ______________ • Clocking: Does the PBX or telco switch use internal or external clocking? _________________ Note that the setting used in the voip unit will be the opposite of the setting used by the telco/PBX. • Which line coding is used? AMI___ or B8ZS___ Write down the values for these T1 parameters. You will need to enter these values in the “T1/E1 Parameters” screen in the Configuration section of the MultiVOIP software.
