Identification, Call Forwarding (from the H.450 standard), and Call
Transfer (H.450.2 from H.323 Version 2).  The fourth version of the
H.323 standard improves system resource usage (esp. logical port or
socket usage) by handling call signaling more compactly and allowing
use of the  low-overhead UDP protocol instead of the error-correcting
TCP protocol where possible.
The MultiVOIP is also SIP-compatible.  However, H.450 Supplementary
Services features can be used under H.323 only and not under SIP.
The MultiVOIP2400/2410 comes equipped with a variety of data
compression capabilities, including G.723, G.729, and G.711 and
features DiffServ quality-of-service (QoS) capabilities.
VOIP Functions.  The MultiVOIP MVP2400/2410 gateway performs
four basic functions:  (a) it converts a dialed number into an IP address,
(b) it sends voice over the data network, (c) it establishes a connection
with another VOIP gateway at a remote site, and (d) it receives voice
over the data network. Voice is handled as IP packets with a variety of
compression options.  Each T1 connection to the MultiVOIP provides 24
time-slot channels to connect to the telco or to serve phone or fax
stations connected to a PBX.
Ports.  The MVP2400/2410 also has a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN
interface, and a Command port for configuration.  An MVP2410
upgraded with the MVP24-48 kit will have two Ethernet LAN interfaces
and two Command ports.
Management.  Configuration and system management can be done
locally with the MultiVOIP configuration software.  After an IP address
has been assigned locally, other configuration can be done remotely
using the MultiVOIP web browser GUI. Remote system management
can be done with the MultiVoipManager SNMP software or via the
MultiVOIP web browser GUI.  All of these control software packages
are included on the Product CD.

Introduction to EI MultiVOIPs
(MVP3010 & MVP30-60)
We proudly present MultiTech’s E1 Digital Multi-VOIP products.  The
MVP3010 is a rack-mount model and the MVP30-60 is an add-on
expansion card that doubles the capacity of the MVP3010 without
adding another chassis.  All of these voice-over-IP products have fax
capabilities.  All adhere to the European standard of E1 trunk telephony
using digital 30-channel time-division multiplexing, which allows 30
phone conversations to occur on the E1 line simultaneously.  All can
also accommodate E1 lines of the ISDN Primary Rate Interface type
(ISDN-PRI).
Scale-ability.  The MVP3010 is tailored to companies needing more
than a few voice-over-IP lines, but not needing carrier-class equipment.
When expansion is needed, the MVP3010 can be field-upgraded into a
dual E1 unit by installing the MVP30-60 kit, which is essentially a
second MultiVOIP motherboard that fits into an open expansion-card
slot in the MVP3010.  The upgraded dual unit then accommodates two
E1 lines.
E1 VOIP Traffic.  The MVP3010 accepts its outbound traffic from a E1
trunk that’s connected to either a PBX or to a telco/carrier.  The
MVP3010 transforms the telephony signals into IP packets for
transmission on LANs, WANs, or the Internet.  Inbound IP data traffic
is converted to telephony data and signaling.
When connected to PBX.  When connected to a PBX, the MVP3010
creates a network node served by 10/100-Base T connections.  Local
PBX phone extensions gain toll-free access to all phone stations directly
connected to the VOIP network.  Phone extensions at any VOIP location
also gain local-rate access to the entire local public-switched telephone
network (PSTN) at every other VOIP location in the system.
When connected to PSTN.  When the E1 line(s) connected to the
MVP3010 are connected directly to the PSTN, the unit becomes a Point-
of-Presence server dedicated to local calls off-net.
H. 323 & SIP.  Being H.323 compatible, the MVP3010 can place calls to
telephone equipment at remote IP network locations that also contain
H.323 compatible voice-over-IP gateways.  It will interface with H.323
software and H.323 gatekeeper units. H.323 specifications also bring to
voip telephony many special features common to conventional
telephony.  H.323 features of this kind that have been implemented into
the MuliVOIP include Call Hold, Call Waiting, Call Identification, Call
Forwarding (from the H.450 standard), and Call Transfer (H.450.2 from

Introduction to Analog MultiVOIPs
(MVP-210/410/810 & MVP428)
VOIP: The Free Ride.  We proudly present Multi-Techs MVP-
210/410/810 generation of MultiVOIP Voice-over-IP Gateways.  They
allow voice/fax communication to be transmitted at no additional
expense over your existing IP network, which has ordinarily been data-
only.  To access this free voice and fax communication, you simply
connect the MultiVOIP to your telephone equipment and your existing
Internet connection.  These analog MultiVOIPs inter-operate readily
with T1 or E1 MultiVOIPs units.
Capacity.  The MultiVOIP model MVP810 is a eight-channel unit, the
MVP410 a four-channel unit, and the MVP210 a two-channel unit. All
of these MultiVOIP units have a 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface and a
command port for configuration.  The MVP428 is an expansion circuit
card for the four-channel MVP410 that turns it into an eight-channel
voip.
Mounting.  Mechanically, the MVP410 and MVP810 MultiVOIPs are
designed for a one-high industry-standard EIA 19-inch rack enclosure.
By contrast, the MVP210 is a table-top unit.  The product must be
installed by qualified service personnel in a restricted-access area, in
accordance with Articles 110-16, 10-17, and 110-18 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Phone System Transparency.  These MultiVOIPs inter-operate with a
telephone switch or PBX, acting as a switching device that directs voice
and fax calls over an IP network.  The MultiVOIPs have “phonebooks,”
directories which determine to who calls may be made and the
sequences that must be used to complete calls through the MultiVOIP.
The phonebooks allow the phone user to interact with the VOIP system
just as they would with an ordinary PBX or telco switch.  When the
phonebooks are set, special dialing sequences are minimized or
eliminated altogether.  Once the call destination is determined, the
phonebook settings determine whether the destination VOIP unit must
strip off or add dialing digits to make the call appear at its destination
to be a local call.
H.323 & SIP. The MultiVOIP supports the H.323 standards-based
protocol enabling your MultiVOIP to participate in real-time
conferencing with other third-party VOIP Gateways or endpoints that
support the H.323 protocol (for example, Microsoft NetMeeting
® ). The
H.323 standard defines how endpoints make and receive calls, how
endpoints negotiate a common set of audio and data capabilities, how
information is formatted and sent over the network, and how endpoints
communicate with their respective Gatekeepers.

H.323 specifications also bring to voip telephony many special features
common to conventional telephony.  H.323 features of this kind that
have been implemented into the MuliVOIP include Call Hold, Call
Waiting, Call Identification, Call Forwarding (from the H.450 standard),
and Call Transfer (H.450.2 from H.323 Version 2).  The fourth version of
the H.323 standard improves system resource usage (esp. logical port or
socket usage) by handling call signaling more compactly and allowing
use of the  low-overhead UDP protocol instead of the error-correcting
TCP protocol where possible.
The MultiVOIP is also SIP-compatible. However, H.450 Supplementary
Services features can be used under H.323 only and not under SIP.
Gatekeepers. Gatekeeper software is optional and when used in a
network, it typically resides on a designated PC. It acts as the central
point for all calls within its zone and provides call control services to all
registered endpoints. In addition, Gatekeepers can perform bandwidth
management through support for Bandwidth Request, Confirm, and
Reject messages.
Management.  Configuration and system management can be done
locally with the MultiVOIP configuration software.  After an IP address
has been assigned locally, other configuration can be done remotely
using the MultiVOIP web browser GUI. Remote system management
can be done with the MultiVoipManager SNMP software or via the
MultiVOIP web browser GUI.  All of these control software packages
are included on the Product CD.

Analog MultiVOIP Front Panel LEDs
LED Types.  The MultiVOIPs have two types of LEDs on their front
panels:
(1) general operation LED indicators (for power, booting, and
ethernet functions), and
(2) channel operation LED indicators which describe the data
traffic and performance in each VOIP data channel.
Active LEDs.  On both the MVP410 and MVP810, there are eight sets of
channel-operation LEDs.  However, on the MVP410, only the lower
four sets of channel-operation LEDs are functional.  On the MVP810, all
eight sets are functional.
