  Identify Remote VOIP Site to Call
When you’re done installing the MultiVOIP, you’ll want to confirm that
it is configured and operating properly.  To do so, it’s good to have
another voip that you can call for testing purposes.  You’ll want to
confirm end-to-end connectivity.  You’ll need IP and telephone
information about that remote site.
If this is the very first voip in the system, you’ll want to coordinate the
installation of this MultiVOIP with an installation of another unit at a
remote site.
Identify VOIP Protocol to be Used
Will you use H.323 or SIP?  Each has advantages and disadvantages.
Although it is possible to mix protocols in a single VOIP system, it is
highly desirable to use the  same VOIP protocol for all VOIP units in
the system.

Placement
Mount your MultiVOIP in a safe and convenient location where cables
for your network and phone system are accessible.  Rack-mounting
instructions are in Chapter 3: Mechanical Installation & Cabling.
The Command/Control Computer (Specs & Settings)
The computer used for command and control of the MultiVOIP
(a) must be an IBM-compatible PC,
(b) must use a Microsoft operating system,
(c) must be connected to your local network (Ethernet) system, and
(d) must have an available  serial COM port.
The configuration tasks and control tasks the PC will have to do with
the MultiVOIP are not especially demanding.  Still, we recommend
using a reasonably new computer.  The computer that you use to
configure your MultiVOIP need not be dedicated to the MultiVOIP
after installation is complete.
COM port on controller PC.  You’ll need an available COM port on the
controller PC.  You’ll need to know which COM port is available for use
with the MultiVOIP (COM1, COM2, etc.).

1. Open MultiVOIP program:  Start | MultiVOIP xxx | Configuration.
2. Go to Configuration | IP.  Enter the IP parameters for your voip site.
3. Do you want to configure and operate the MultiVOIP unit using the
web browser GUI? (It has the same functionality as the local
Windows GUI, but offers remote access.)
If NO, skip to step 5.
If YES, continue with step 4.
4. Enable Web Browser GUI (Optional).  To do configuration and
operation procedures using the web browser GUI, you must first
enable it.  To do so, follow these steps.
A. Be sure an IP address has
been assigned to the
MultiVOIP unit (this must be
done in the MultiVOIP
Windows GUI).E. Open web browser.
(Note: The PC being used
must be connected to and
have an IP address on the
same IP network that the
voip is on.)
B. Save Setup in Windows GUI.
F. Browse to IP address of
MultiVOIP unit.
C. Close the MultiVOIP
Windows GUI.G. If username and password
have been established, enter
them when prompted by
voip.
D. Install Java program from
MultiVOIP product CD.
NOTE: Required on first use of
Web Browser GUI only.
H. Use web browser GUI to
configure or operate voip.
Need more
info?
See “Web Browser Interface” in Operation &
Maintenance chapter of User Guide (on CD).
Once you’ve begun using the web browser GUI, you can go back to the
MultiVOIP Windows GUI at any time.  However, you must log out of
the web browser GUI before using the MultiVOIP Windows GUI.

9. Go to Configuration | SMTP.
SMTP lets you send phone-call log records to the Voip Administrator
by email.  Select Enable SMTP.
You should have already obtained an email address for the
MultiVOIP itself (this serves as the origination email account for
email logs that the MultiVOIP can email out automatically).
Enter this email address in the “Login Name” field.
Type the password for this email account.
Enter the IP address of the  email server where the MultiVOIP’s email
account is located in the “Mail Server IP Address” field.
Typically the  email log reports are sent to the Voip Administrator
but they can be sent to any email address.  Decide where you want
the email logs sent and enter that email address in the “Recipient
Address” field.

Phone/IP Starter Configuration (continued)
9. (continued) Whenever email log messages are sent out, they must
have a standard Subject line.  Something like “Phone Logs for Voip
N” is useful.  If you have more than one MultiVoip unit in the
building, you’ll need a unique identifier for each one (select a useful
name or number for “N”).  In this “Subject” field, enter a useful
subject title for the log messages.
In the “Reply-To Address” field, enter the email address of your Voip
Administrator.
10. Go to Configuration | Logs.
Select “Enable Console Messages.” (Not applicable if using Web GUI.)
To allow log reports by email (if desired), click SMTP.  Click OK.
To do logging with a SysLog client program, click on “SysLog Server

install a SysLog client program.  For more info, see the “SysLog
Server Functions” section of the Operation & Maintenance chapter of
the 
User Guide.

Go to Supplementary Services.  Select any features to be used.
For Call Hold, Call Transfer, & Call Waiting, specify the key sequence
that the phone user will press to invoke the feature.  For Call Name
Identification, specify the allowed name types to be used and a
caller-id descriptor.
If Call Forwarding is to be used, enable this feature in the
Add/Edit Inbound Phone Book screen.
12. Go to Save Setup | Save and Reboot.  Click OK.  This will save the
parameter values that you have just entered.
The MultiVOIP’s “BOOT” LED will light up while the configuration
file is being saved and loaded into the MultiVOIP.  Don’t do anything
to the MultiVOIP until the “BOOT “LED is off (a loss of power at this
point could cause the MultiVOIP unit to lose the configuration
settings you have made).
END OF PROCEDURE.

Phonebook Starter Configuration (with remote voip)
To do this part of the quick setup, you need to know of another voip
that you can call to conduct a test.  It should be at a remote location,
typically somewhere outside of your building.  You must know the
phone number and IP address for that site.  We are assuming here that
the MultiVOIP will operate in conjunction with a PBX.
You must configure both the Outbound Phonebook and the Inbound
Phonebook.  A starter configuration only means that two voip locations
will be set up to begin the system and establish voip communication.
Outbound Phonebook
1. Open the MultiVOIP program
(Start | MultiVOIP xxx | Configuration
2. Go to Phone Book | PhoneBook Modify | Outbound Phonebook
| Add Entry.
3. On a sheet of paper, write down the calling code of the remote voip
(area code, country code, city code, etc.) that you’ll be calling.
Follow the example that best fits your situation.  
North America,
Long-Distance Example
Euro, National Call
Example
Technician in Seattle (area
206) must set up one voip
there, another in Chicago
(area 312, downtown).
Answer: Write down 312.
Technician in central
London (area 0207) to set
up voip there, another in
Birmingham (area 0121).
An swer: write down 0121.
Euro, International Call Example
Technician in Rotterdam (country 31; city 010) to
set up one voip there, another in Bordeaux
(country 33; area 05).
Answer: write down 3305.

4. Suppose you want to call a phone number outside of your building
using a phone station that is an extension from your PBX system (if
present).  What digits must you dial?  Often a “9” or “8” must be
dialed to “get an outside line” through the PBX (i.e., to connect to the
PSTN).  Generally, “1 “or “11” or “0” must be dialed as a prefix for
calls outside of the calling code area (long-distance calls, national
calls, or international calls).
On a sheet of paper, write down the digits you must dial before you
can dial a remote area code.
North America,
Long-Distance Example
Euro, National Call
Example
Seattle-Chicago system.
Seattle voip works with
PBX that uses “8” for all
voip calls.  “1” must
immediately precede area
code of dialed number.
Answer: write down 81.
London/Birming. system.
London voip works with
PBX that uses “9” for all
out-of-building calls
whether by voip or by
PSTN.  “0” must
immediately precede area
code of dialed number.
Answer: write down 90.
Euro, International Call Example
Rotterdam/Bordeaux system.
Rotterdam voip works with PBX where “9” is
used for all out-of-building calls.  “0” must
precede all international calls.
Answer: write down 90.
