3. Connect a network cable to the ETHERNET 10BASET connector on
the back of the MultiVOIP. Connect the other end of the cable to your
network.
4. If you are connecting a station device such as an analog telephone, a
fax machine, or a Key Telephone System (KTS) (FXS interface), or a
PBX extension (FXO interface) to your MultiVOIP, connect one end of
an RJ-11 phone cord to the Channel 1 FXS/FXO connector on the back
of the MultiVOIP and the other end to the device or phone jack. You
will define the interface in the Interface dialog box in the software
when you configure the unit.
If you are connecting an E&M trunk from a telephone switch to your
MultiVOIP, connect one end of an RJ-45 phone cord to the Channel 1
E&M connector on the back of the MultiVOIP and the other end to
the trunk.  Verify that the E&M Type in the E&M Options group of
the Interface dialog box is the same as the E&M trunk type support
by the telephone switch. See Appendix B for an E&M cabling pinout.
5. Repeat the above step to connect the remaining telephone equipment
to each  Channel on your MultiVOIP.
6. Ensure that the unit is properly connected to earth ground by
verifying that it is reliably grounded when mounted within a rack.
This can be accomplished by connecting a grounding wire between
the chassis and a metallic object that will provide an electrical
ground.
7. Turn on power to the MultiVOIP by placing the ON/OFF switch on
the back panel to the ON position. Wait for the Boot LED on the
MultiVOIP to go off before proceeding. This may take a few minutes.
Proceed to Chapter 4 to load the MultiVOIP software.

2. Connect the MultiVOIP to a PC by using an RJ-45 (male) to DB-9
(female) cable. Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the Command port
of the MultiVOIP and the other end into the PC serial port. See Figure
3-11.
3. Connect a network cable to the ETHERNET 10/100 connector on the
back of the MultiVOIP. Connect the other end of the cable to your
network.
4. If you are connecting a station device such as an analog telephone, a
fax machine, or a Key Telephone System (KTS) (FXS interface), or a
PBX extension (FXO interface) to your MultiVOIP, connect one end of
an RJ-11 phone cord to the Channel 1 FXS/FXO connector  on the
back MultiVOIP and the other end to the device or phone jack. You

will define the interface in the Interface dialog box in the software
when you configure the unit. 
If you are connecting an E&M trunk  from a telephone switch to your
MultiVOIP, connect one end of an RJ-45 phone cord to the Channel 1
E&M connector on the back of the MultiVOIP and the other end to
the trunk.  Verify that the E&M Type in the E&M Options group of
the Interface dialog box is the same as the E&M trunk type support
by the telephone switch.  See Appendix B for an E&M cabling pinout.
5. Repeat the above step to connect the remaining telephone equipment
to the second channel on your MultiVOIP.
6. Ensure that the unit is properly connected to earth ground by
verifying that it is reliably grounded when mounted within a rack.
This can be accomplished by connecting a grounding wire between
the chassis and a metallic object that will provide an electrical
ground.
7. Turn on power to the MultiVOIP by placing the ON/OFF switch on
the back panel to the ON position. Wait for the BOOT LED on the
MultiVOIP to go off before proceeding. This may take a few minutes.

Introduction
Configuring software for your MultiVOIP entails three tasks:
(1) loading the software onto the PC (this is “Software Installation and
is discussed in this chapter),
(2) setting values for telephony and IP parameters that will fit your
system (this is “Technical Configuration” and it is discussed in Chapter
5 for T1/E1 MultiVOIP units and in Chapter 6 for analog MultiVOIP
units), and
(3) establishing “phonebooks” that contain the various dialing patterns
for VOIP calls made to different locations (this is “Phonebook
Configuration” and it is discussed in Chapters 7, 8, and 9 for T1, E1,
and analog MultiVOIP units respectively).
Loading MultiVOIP Software onto the PC
The software loading procedure does not present every screen or option
in the loading process.  It is assumed that someone with a thorough
knowledge of Windows and the software loading process is performing
the installation.
The MultiVOIP software and User Guide are contained on the
MultiVOIP product CD.  Because the CD is auto-detectable, it will start
up automatically when you insert it into your CD-ROM drive.  When
you have finished loading your MultiVOIP software, you can view and
print the User Guide by clicking on the View Manuals icon.
1. Be sure that your MultiVOIP has been properly cabled and that the
power is turned on.

2. Insert the MultiVOIP CD into your CD-ROM drive.  The CD should
start automatically.  It may take 10 to 20 seconds for the Multi-Tech
CD installation window to display.   
If the Multi-Tech Installation CD window does not display
automatically, click My Computer, then right click the CD ROM
drive icon, click Open, and then click the Autorun icon.
3. When the Multi-Tech Installation CD dialog box appears, click the
Install Software icon.

7.  On the next screen you can select the COM port that the command
PC will use when communicating with the MultiVoip unit. After
software installation, the COM port can be re-set in the MultiVoip
Software (from the sidebar menu, select Connection | Settings to
access the COM Port Setup screen or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl
+ G).
NOTE:  If the COM port setting made
here conflicts with the actual COM
port resources available in the
command PC, this error message will
appear when the MultiVOIP program
is launched.  If this occurs, you must
reset the COM port.
